Very helpful, not overwhelming,
By A Customer
This review is from: Home Learning Year by Year: How to Design a Homeschool Curriculum from Preschool Through High School (Paperback)
I agree with the previous reviewers - this book is a great little resource. It begins by telling you that all kids are different and how that one of the great things about homeschooling is that you can adapt to your child's personal needs. That being said, for those of us interested in a guide to what types of things are generally covered at what ages, this is very helpful. I appreciate several things about this book - it does cover all ages preschool through grade 12. It gives some specific comments about what is expected - for example: identify pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and dollar bills; recognize dollar and cent signs under money and measurement for kindergartners. It also gives information about books and resources to help the parent and student. It does not, however, dictate how the child should be taught (ie Grade 3 month 2 do the following, the progress to X in month 3). As the children progress (mine are only 4 and 2 at this point, but I look ahead of course!) this infomation gives you broad headings to cover as ideas - for example in Grade 10 History: Western Europe in the nineteenth century. Topics include the Napoleonic Wars, the Congress of Vienna, the growth of democracy, the Revolution of 1848 and the British Reform Laws, the unification of Germany under Bismark, and the unification of Italy under Garibaldi. Subjects covered include math, history, literature, grammar, art, music, foreign language, health and physical education, sciences geography (this is not necessarily an all inclusive list).

This book was suggested to me by a home school group and I'm so glad I bought it. It is worded simply (unlike the official curriculum books of my province), and it breaks what you need to achieve with your children. It is direct, simple and to the point. No grey area. I liked the fact that there are even suggestions of appropriate books, websites etc to look at to aid their understanding on that topic.The only thing that could make it better was if there was a Canadian version. I know that our curriculum is a little different here, and our expectations are different for each grade as well. However, I have the Canadian Curriculum workbooks from Popular Books, which should help fill in those blanks.

Wow!,

This review is from: Home Learning Year by Year: How to Design a Homeschool Curriculum from Preschool Through High School (Paperback)
I am so happy I bought this book, it is a huge help.With grade-by-grade goals to reach it provides a good guideline for homeschooling and even if your children are schooled 'out', this book would be helpful in ensuring they are on track. Of course not all schools are the same, and there is a lot of flexibility in 'what to teach when', but I find this book to be a good checklist of learning goals.
