We recently shared 100 Top Homeschool Curriculum Reviews here at The Curriculum Choice. That was an amazing list of the reviews viewed the most – of all time. Today, we are reflecting on the past year with gratitude for you, our readers! And we share with you the Top Homeschool Curriculum Reviews of 2014.
Those you read the most – YOUR favorites from 2014!
1. A Simple Plan Homeschooling Planner Review – My newest find is A Simple Plan Homeschooling Planner that I purchased from Mardel for $19.99. I was giddy when it arrived in the mail. I always have high hopes for finding just the right one.
2. Easy Peasy All-in-One Homeschool Review – In my search for free or low-cost programs, I found Easy Peasy All-in-One Homeschool. I would like to share our experience with this free, all-inclusive program.
3. Apologia Exploring Creation with Marine Biology Review – Today I share with you the extensive, high school level resources from Apologia. Exploring Creation with Marine Biology fits the needs of my two high schoolers and promotes independent learning! Plus, this course is designed for success – with tips for the homeschool teacher and student along the way.
4. Constitutional Literacy Review – Constitutional Literacy is something we are passionate about as a family. We are raising future voters! A course by the same name – designed to fit this passion – is simply an answer to prayer for my two high schoolers! We love that Constitutional Literacy is led by an authority in this area of history and government. And the course presents with the tools needed – a student workbook and a DVD series on the history, theory and application of the Constitution of the United States.
5. Kindergarten Saxon Math Review – If you get the manipulative kit (which I really recommend!) your child will have fun 
6. Introducing Kids to Computer Programming with Scratch – There’s a wonderful free resource from MIT that I’d like to share with you called Scratch. Instead of just playing computer or video games, your kids can create their own games using characters they’ve drawn themselves. My kids have been using Scratch for a few months and it’s getting a two-thumbs-up from both my eight year old son and 11-year-old daughter.
7. North Star Geography Review – Designed for students in grades 7-12, North Star Geography is a complete world geography course, worth a full high school credit.
8. Winter Promise: Children Around the World – We’ve really loved our time with Children Around The World and I feel my children have a greater understanding of not only many geographical locations around the world, but a greater understanding for the plight of children much less fortunate then them!
9. Elemental Science – Biology for the Grammar Stage – Biology for the Grammar Stage covers three main topics: Animals, the Human Body, and Plants. We were in the middle of our study of animals, so that is where we started! The curriculum includes a teacher’s guide, a student workbook, and optional extras like coloring pages and lapbook templates.
10. Tapestry of Grace Primer Review – Now Tapestry of Grace has a resource for families just starting their homeschool journey. Those with their eldest children in kindergarten or first grade. And it is a beautiful tour!Monthly Review Author Features
