*For the corresponding podcast where I list all of our likes, dislikes and tips for curriculum click here.

It’s that time of year when we homeschool moms begin evaluating, browsing, and purchasing! After nine years of homeschooling, we have settled upon a few that we absolutely love. This is my list of five star recommended curricula.

• Sonlight: Best for: new elementary-teaching moms or moms desiring a lot of structure and already-set-in-place planning.
• Good and the Beautiful: Highly recommend the language arts in particular for elementary-aged students
• IEW theme-based writing curricula – best for upper elementary and middle school
• Saxon Math – best for students who learn systematically and are not greatly struggling with math
• Beast Academy Math Program – best for elementary students. Curriculum is quite challenging so start at the beginning no matter the age. We have only done the online version.
• Life of Fred mathematics – unique approach to learning math word problems.
• Mystery of History
• Old Story New and Long Story Short Family Devotions for Bible
• World Watch – daily news in 10 minutes
• Latin and Greek Root Flashcards
• Ultimate Homeschool Planner
• Apologia Science – we have loved reading this aloud at the elementary level and doing the notebooking journal.
