My older sons LOVE the Extreme Dot-to-Dot books. It was very disheartening to see them "out-grow" doing dot-to-dot books. Although they still loved them, the typical dot-to-dot books were just to easy for them. I was thrilled when I Read more

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.

Switched-On Schoolhouse

I have seen my high school aged son go from one who needed constant prodding to get his work done- to one that is up and ready to go with the Switched On Schoolhouse on program. The programs is so easy to set up and keeps all the records for you. The computer based program is just what he needed. He is motivated, working independently, and best of all learning so much. I am so impressed and thank God for this curriculum. The cost for the whole subject grade can’t be beat. Love it!!
