Other Terminology Used by Master Books
Basic 4-Subject Set
Basic 4-Subject Sets are Master Books curriculum bundles, organized by grade-level and including four key subjects: math, language arts, science, and history.
ClassWallet
ClassWallet is a third‑party payment platform that some states use to distribute ESA (Education Savings Accounts) funds.
ESAs
Education Savings Accounts are state-operated financial accounts that parents may be eligible to use for funding their children’s education expenses. Rules vary state by state.
Faith-full
More than a Bible verse or story added in as an afterthought, biblical apologetics is infused seamlessly into every aspect of a Master Books education.
HIStory
A framing used in America’s Story in which history is taught as God’s story, emphasizing God’s providence and involvement throughout historical events.
Life-proof
Master Books is a life-proof curriculum, meaning it works for real life, not an imaginary ideal. It’s open-and-go, flexible, and streamlined so even when life is especially busy or difficult, you can still stay on track and homeschool with success.
Narration
A learning method where students retell, in their own words, what they have learned.
NLPG
New Leaf Publishing Group is the parent publishing company behind Master Books.
Placement and readiness guides
Master Books often uses the terms readiness and placement interchangeably as a way to help you choose the correct level within a curriculum series. A readiness test measures the skills and concepts your student must know and understand in order to enter a particular level. In other words, a readiness guide or placement test helps you determine if your child has the necessary prerequisites for success with that particular book.
Seeds
Seeds are a brand metaphor: Every package/product that is shipped from Master Books is viewed as a seed that will grow and take root to develop a flourishing faith.
Story-based
An instructional approach that teaches academic content through narrative and storytelling rather than isolated facts. Key examples are the America’s Story series where history is taught as a narrative of God’s providence and Math Lessons for a Living Education where math concepts are taught through stories and real-life scenarios.
Whole-child
An instructional approach that addresses the whole child: mind, body, and spirit.
