Customer Reviews

Learn At Home is Outstanding!

After two years of research into Home Education curriculum, we purchased Learn At Home, Grade K to Home Educate our child. We compared this curriculum side by side to many other very expensive curriculums and it had everything they had to offer at a more reasonable price. In fact, it was more advanced than some very high priced curriculum. That was three years ago. We have used Learn At Home to Home Educate our child through K, 1st, and 2nd grades. We all LOVE it! It covers six subject areas, plus art and research projects, and reccomends field trips, to give your child a well rounded education. The lessons are right on target with what our local school system requires per grade level. Many times I find that Learn At Home is advanced when compared to what is being taught in our local school. I feel confident that my child is getting a great education. I really like having the lesson plans written out for each week. The teacher suggestions are excellent. These are both great time savers for me which allow me to spend more time with my child rather than doing all the planning work. The books listed in the curriculum are available at our local library. I simply sign online to the library's website, request the listed books, and pick them up when they call to say the books are ready. I plan this out and request the books a week in advance to give the library time to get them for me. It works out great. With all the planning and worksheets already done for me, it makes teaching my child fun, not work. The best part is that my child likes the book and looks forward to doing the worksheets. The only thing we add are Bible lessons by following the read through the Bible in one year plan. There is a Christian Learn At Home book on the market, but it does not have any lesson plans or teacher notes, nor is it as in depth and comprehensive. The pages of the book are preforated and tear out easily. I found that hole punching the pages and putting them into a three ring binder works wonderfully. I make copies of any pages that need to be cut, (this is mostly in the K and Grade 1 book), have my child cut the copy, and paste to the original page. This keeps the book nice. There are a few pages that you will need to make copies of, like book report forms for example. Even with the copies in black in white, they still look nice. Your child can color the pictures on those pages if they want to. We have already purchased Learn At Home, Grade 3 for the coming school year. We really think this is a great curriculum and highly reccomend it!

Perfect for new homeschoolers

I used Learn at Home for kindergarden my first year of homeschooling my daughter. I loved how the lesson plans were already done for me. What a time saver! The lessons are fun and easy to prepare for. The only drawback is that sometimes the pages meant to be torn out are on the other side of another page or a lesson plan page. You can make a copy or just wait until Friday to do that page. I don't think it's worth the time and money to copy all the workbook pages and try to save the book for a younger child. There are a lot of recommended books to read - I just got on my library's online catalog about every 3 weeks and put the titles on hold, then the library called me and I picked them up at the desk (no searching the shelves), another great time saver. This book is such a bargain, I especially reccommend it for new homeschoolers.

Wonderful for Home Schooling Kindergarten Children

I am a mother of two boys (10 yrs. & 5 yrs). We have been home schooling our oldest son for the past two years. This year my 5 year old will start Kindergarten. He is a child who gets very bored with a pencil and piece of paper. Actually, a friend of mine recommended looking at Learn At Home and when I did I fell in love with it. With the book already offering "lesson plans" for each week it was very helpful in planning our next year. This book offers a lot of hands-on activities for the children, so therefore his attention span stays longer with me and what we are trying to learn. The only thing I can say negative is that I found some of the activities a little "elementary" for a 5 year old. All in all I can say that I give this book a thumbs up!!! Actually, not only am I pleased with this book , but all the books I have used throughout home schooling with my other son that was published by American Education Publishing. They are a wonderful publishing company that offers many useful books for home schooling. I hope this will be of some help for somebody out there. If you are home schooling, good luck and God Bless You!!!

This book is a fun tool to use in my homeschooling!

I have enjoyed using this book with my homeschoolers. The lessons are clear. The materials are things I have around the house. The workpages are colorful. It is very easy to use. The ideas are creative and I appreciate the thematic approach to much of the material. Great stuff!
