    The Reason Master Books Short Lessons Work So Well

    The Master Books Method of Education incorporates shorter lessons especially for the younger students. This is based on educational research and has proven very effective for homeschooling families. In this short video, Kristen Pratt – Master Books Brand and Curriculum Development Editor, shares why this approach to academic excellence works so well.

    The Homeschool Curriculum that works best for families
    Three Reasons Developmentally Appropriate Homeschool Curriculum Works Best for Families

    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.

    Love. Love love
    Review by A. R.
    This was a wonderful, thorough curriculum. I used it for a preschool age. On top of teaching basics in reading and writing it taught what to do in a fire and earthquake, red light and green lights. It was really cute and fun and my child loved seeing what fun thing was next.

    Loved this cirriculum with my daughter. I love how it is biblically based and so much fun.
    A bit wordy
    Review by Maite
    I love using Master Books products. Nonetheless, the only time I tried using Simply K I found it to be a bit too wordy to use it with my child.
    We stopped using halfway through the year
    Review by Okay, but not for us
    While I understand that Master Books says that this is developmentally appropriate for Kindergarten, I wanted more for Kindergarten. This is definitely a gentle approach. My daughter enjoyed parts of the program. But again, she wanted a little more too. She enjoyed the worksheets and coloring activities, but there weren’t always that many of those. We enjoyed the Bible lessons and the rhymes. I wish the “life skills” would focus mostly on school skills like cutting and gluing, etc. We do chores and other things around the house already so it wasn’t helpful when the book would ask you to fold clothes. Also, this was setup for a 3 day/week schedule, so I had to figure out what to do the other 2 days. This book had a lot going for it, but I see it more as a preschool program.
    Great to start out learning journey!
    Review by TisforTeacherMama
    This is great for introducing alphabetic principles. This would be used BEFORE having your child formerly start reading. My favorite part was the life skills. We also used this for bible. The Bible verses are a bit long especially if you have a child that has some language delays but adding the actions are very helpful.
    Okay but not a good fit for us!
    Review by Jeeeka08
    We love the open and go concept of Master Books. My kids want the work sat in front of them and to know when they're done. I felt this book was a little more kiddish than my little liked! I wish there was a more condensed version that taught on a faster track.
    Love this!
    Review by Amy
    This has been a great curriculum. It is a great start for learning letters and letter formation, but I mostly love it for the Bible material and adding in life skills.
    The best!
    Review by Amy
    I used this for my 5 year old and it was developmentally a great fit. Some highlights were the hand motions to learn Bible verses, the little poems in rhyme time, the gentle and fun workbook pages, and the life skills portion. I will always remember my daughter performing Hey Diddle Diddle for our family after school one night!

    Review by Homeschool x 4

    Into for kinder
    Review by Miranda
    This book had pros and cons. It felt geared more for younger than kindergarten and we skipped some parts. I supplemented in for things because I felt it was lacking in areas. But it's a good starting point to build off of.
