Language Arts focuses on letter recognition, phonics, handwriting, early reading, and vocabulary development. History helps children understand family, community roles, and basic geography concepts such as maps and directions. Science explores plants, animals, weather, seasons, and the wonders of God’s creation. By the end of kindergarten, learners develop readiness for first grade with strong early math and literacy skills, an awareness of the world, and a love for learning.

Customer Reviews
Pros:
- each individual book emphasizes scripture
- the science is clearly creation science, not theistic evolution
- open and go, structured but not rigid
- did not take an obscene amount of time to prepare
- I was able to switch around the order of lessons as needed.
- We had a few weeks of travel this year and were able to stop and go as needed
- overlapping themes from each week from the different books made it feel more cohesive
Cons:
-if you have a classic reformed view of the second commandment, note that there are quite a lot of images of Christ in the English textbook. I ended up scribbling over them with a marker.
- the poems in the English book, but especially in the social studies book are awful. they are so poorly done that I would text them to my song writing husband to criticize them. The meter and rhymes are just ... really really poor. And some of the content of the poems is just ... goofy
- Lots of drawing and coloring, which will be great for my middle child wo enjoys art, but my oldest hates it. he has -10 interest in that. it would be nice to have an alternative craft/ project or something
- there was one week, I think it was towards the end of the first quarter, where there were about four recipes from three of the books in one week. I liked having cooking incorporated, but to go from nothing to four in one week was jarring. Just swith some of the weeks around to make it one to two a week and this can be easily fixed
Overall though we enjoyed it and I am ordering the first grade curriculum!
The only thing I was not a fan of was social studies book. It felt really jumbled and like it jumped around a lot. I struggled to follow and create quality conversations with it. Despite that we loved every other book and I still give it 5 stars!
The simply k book would prepare a child for the Foundations Phonics book, which comes next in the sequence.
The math book is awesome and leads into understanding numbers and getting the child ready for beginning to manipulate numbers!
Thank you
