Handwriting Without Tears: Hands-On Materials

Last month Korey reviewed the Handwriting Without Tears curriculum and the workbooks for first grade and up that go along with it.

Five in a Row Review

When I first began looking into homeschool curriculum a few years ago, one of the first things I came across was Five in a Row, a collection of literature-based unit studies by Jane Claire Lambert. These units are geared towards children ages four through eight, but I have known families who have used this curriculum with younger and older students. There are four separate volumes
