Homeschooling a first grade student is fun and exciting because children are naturally inquisitive and curious at this age, eager to develop their skills and learn about the world around them. But what exactly does a first grader need to know? Carrie Lindquist, homeschool mom of 3 and Master Books curriculum author, is here to walk you through the skills your student will be developing during this foundational year.
Homeschool families teach their preschool age children life skills throughout the day, but what about an official curriculum at this age? Master Books understands the need to teach preschoolers at a pace that fits their stage of brain and body development. We offer home educators two unique curriculum solutions to help gently introduce formal learning in a playful way. This is a wonderful opportunity to give them a great foundation for academics, love for God, and a love for learning. Throughout this post, we will give you a thorough overview of our two unique preschool homeschool curriculum solutions.
At Master Books, we understand that true integration of faith and learning goes beyond simply adding Bible verses to homeschool lessons. It involves a thoughtful weaving of biblical principles into the fabric of each subject. This post reveals how this is done in every core subject for every age and skill level including electives.
Providing children with a homeschool education allows families to integrate their Christian beliefs into each subject studied. Faith and learning converge enabling students to see the majesty and wonder of God in math, science, language, history, geography, and more. Since 2012, Master Books has been providing parents with homeschool curriculum that seamlessly integrates biblical principles into academic teachings. This allows parents to disciple their children at home using the Bible as the foundation for their lives. Explore the impact of a truly biblical education and the empowering tools Master Books provides Christian homeschooling families for this purpose.
Every education comes with a worldview. What is the impact of your child’s current education and its philosophy on their faith in God? In this article, we are sharing very important research about the importance of a parent’s knowledge of biblical doctrines, the risk of allowing the public education system to influence your children's worldview, and resources to help you answer the command to intentionally disciple your children.
Here at Master Books, we offer #ProBible homeschool curriculum based on an education model that helps Christian homeschool families experience great success. The Master Books Method of Education was developed under the leadership of Randy and Kristen Pratt, Master Books President and Curriculum Development Director. As husband and wife, they have already launched six of their nine homeschooled children into adulthood. With a team of educational experts, the latest brain development research, and the desire to help families overcome homeschooling’s major stressors, the Pratts are leading the Master Books team to help the Christian homeschool community soar in the vital area of family discipleship.

If you are curious how Master Books homeschool curriculum can help prepare your students for adulthood, this interview with Jacob Staggers will be a great help to you. Jacob, a 2023 high school homeschool graduate, shared his thoughts and experiences with us in the following interview. He impressed us with his confidence, his communication skills, and his future plans.
When a homeschool family finds themselves overwhelmed and burned out, it is wise to evaluate the effectiveness of the curriculum. Is your curriculum meeting your student’s individual needs, or is it forcing the student to adjust to a rigorous plan that exceeds their physical, mental, and emotional development?
At Master Books, we are intentional about helping your children become confident students who love to learn. The Master Books Method uses a whole child approach to learning which helps you consider your child’s readiness for the subject matter, their attention span, and their ability to retain information.
