Saxon Home School Curriculum Review

(Hinesville, Georgia)

I used Saxon home school curriculum for my daughter when she was doing 3rd grade math. She is a visual learner and does well with manipulatives. While she loved the curriculum because of this, I found it difficult because each lesson took so much time to prepare.

During the year that we used it, I found myself looking for shortcuts or preparing several lessons at once so we could skip the preliminaries. She learned well with the program, but our schedule did not allow us to complete the whole book that year.

If you have the time to prepare the lessons and the time to sit and do the lesson, this is a great program. But if you are crunched for time, as we were, you may not want to use this program.

Yes, you are correct! Saxon Math curriculum is quite time-consuming for the younger grades. Although not for everyone, I have found the time investment does pay off, thankfully, as my children enter the higher level grades. Thanks for sharing; it's much appreciated! Blessings, Heather
