For parents just starting to homeschool, choosing curriculum can be overwhelming. Thankfully, those of us who have been homeschooling for awhile can pass along our knowledge and experience to help those behind us.
Your Input Matters!
Homeschool curriculum reviews help parents make better choices. When you share your opinion and include specifically what you liked or didn’t like about a certain curriculum, you help others know what to expect.Often new homeschooling parents waste money because they don’t pick the proper resources for their children. They may gravitate to one type of curriculum (most often textbooks) because that is what they used when they were in school and it’s familiar to them. Even experienced or veteran homeschoolers need new educational materials, or want to try something different. This is especially true as your children get older, enter into the high school years or if your family situation changes. Homeschool Curriculum Review How-to’sWhen submitting a homeschool curriculum review to our website, we just ask that you would be honest in your evaluation of the materials you have used in your own home school, or co-op.Who, What, When, Why, How?Include the name of the publisher or course, what you liked about the curriculum, when you used it, why you chose it, the grades of your children and how it benefited your student or family... we love details! :)Giving examples of how you used it in your home school is especially helpful. The Good, The Bad, and The UglyLet's face it... not everything works for everyone and not all curriculum is designed for a home school setting.Communicating what you don't like or problems you had with the curriculum is extremely helpful. Don't forget to suggest possible solutions or share ways you overcame your difficulties to give fellow home educators additional ideas to implement in their own home school. Sometimes it only takes a little tweaking to turn "okay", into great! Help Others Save Money and TimeAlthough helpful, but not necessary... because we are all about saving money and time for homeschooling families, include in your review any tips that will save others time and/or cash. Include ways you used your curriculum creatively to stretch your homeschool dollar further, or ways to eliminate wasted money on unneeded purchases.Leave a Review. Get Something for You!As a special thank-you, when you submit a curriculum review to our website and if your submission is accepted, you will receive free homeschool id cards for your entire home schooling family!Submit a Curriculum Review!
