This has made homeschooling easy!

Our family greatly enjoys Switched-On Schoolhouse Grade 7.This is our first year working with this product.  I have been homeschooling my son for 6 years and this is the first year he looks forward to doing school.   Each morning my son knows what he has to get done.  The games and videos make learning fun. All subjects are on CD and I don’t have to worry about books or loose papers.  This product has given me a stress free year.Our entire family highly recommends this product to all homeschooling families.

You are making me a loyal customer

This is the second year I have purchased curriculum packages from Timberdoodle for my 3 boys and once again I am not let down. This package does a great job of covering 95% of the state standards. It looks like an overwhelming amount of books but takes no more than 2 hours at most including breaks. The short lessons in each book keep things moving and interesting and a must with moving little boys. Good quality package. I am happy everyday I get this opportunity.

We are in love with this!

The Preschool Timberdoodle Core Curriculum 2011 came in 3 days ago and I haven’t heard the end of it. My 3 yo is having so much fun he wants to do “school” all the time. It was nice to be able to tweek it a little so that I can include my almost 2 yo as well. If you’re not sure about something give them a call and they can help you make it work specifically for your child(ren).

My family tends to be fairly eclectic, so I wanted a wide variety of books handy to use and was browsing around for an easy and cost-effective way to collect those items. I happened to pick up a catalog at a HS conference and noticed this “curriculum.” It’s varied enough that we don’t feel trapped into doing worksheets constantly, yet if I need to help my 6 year old and 4 year old understand a topic there’s enough material here that I can find something suitable that fits each of them. They love the included puzzles, and the science kit has been a huge hit, full of easy experiments the children can do themselves with a little help from me. I added a few other items that I felt should be included, such as a Hugg a Planet, and customized the mathematics — it was simple to upgrade with an e-mail to Timberdoodle staff — and had the materials I needed to teach my children all year for under $400! I will very likely order the next level up when we’re ready and customize it as well.

I am so THRILLED I found your company. We’re using the 2nd grade core curriculum and this is our FIRST YEAR with NO TEARS, no I HATE SCHOOL. It’s a breeze and she looks forward to school everyday! I wish I could rewind and redo the past 2 years!

Timberdoodle carries Complete Homeschool Curriculum for Babies – 10th Grade

Our family loves the Young Explorer Series,the books are wonderfully made.The pictures are great; the information is not dry or stuffy like a lot of text books. It is great for all ages. My kids love the projects. The younger kids and I work on the books together and the older kids do them on their own. The books are very easy to read and understand. We have never been bored with this series. Most importantly they honor God all throughout the books. I never feel like I need to correct anything that has been said. Thank you for having these beautiful books!!

We started out the school year using different curriculum but needed to step up the work just a bit and came across this website and this package was exactly what I was looking for. I had other parents recommend the same books Timberdoodle did so I knew their recommendations were reputable. All of these books are wonderful. I have organized our week so we do the work in about 45 minutes a day which is perfect for this age. Timberdoodle has always done a wonderful job answering all my questions in detail. I absolutely love this website and the packages they have put together. We will be back next year for first grade and soon to add another child. I do supplement a bible lesson and have fun Fridays with additional games to supplement this package as it really covers the core subjects. Thank you so much.

Character Quality Language Arts Pre A

I have done alot of research on language arts programs for my 9 and 10 year olds. I kept coming back to CQLA. First I purchased the teachers manual. Then I went onto their website and used the program for a month printing off the weeks as we went. Having the 4 day lesson plans made it a no brainer to set up each days work using dividers for each day in their binders. The answers were clear and it was great to have all of the optional suggestions to add challenge, interest or additional practice. English is my weakest subject and CQLA is just the best program I have come across with all of the skills being incorporated into one program. To have their hearts turned to God as they learn how to communicate is awesome. It does take us longer to complete the sections than stated in the manual but we are enjoying the program so much it has not been a concern or problem. We look forward to completing CQLA for the remainder of our homeschooling years.

Sam Campbell's Living Forest Series

The Sam Campbell’s Wildlife Series consists of high quality stories for children who love nature.  My children love hearing about the adventures of the animal characters, and as a parent, I appreciate the more advanced vocabulary and writing style as compared to many modern novels.

Character Quality Language Arts

Character Quality Language Arts rolls many aspects of L.A. into one package and challenges the learner to reach beyond their current level.  Character is heavily emphasized and brought alive by the research into influential Christians.  My daughter is learning to research, and to write simple essays in the very first level.  For the person who wishes to go beyond the daily work, there are many sidebar suggestions for extras that would be wonderful to do given lots of time.  If you don’t have the time, the essentials are still covered very well.
