Algebra for Breakfast, yeah I never thought I would see those two words in a title, let alone a review title but here they are. Algebra for Breakfast is a math supplement program to help bring Algebra concepts to elementary students. Some kids and even parents cringe at the thought of algebra, so a program that is geared to young students to help ease the transition to algebra had my attention. Let me share with you our experience with Algebra for Breakfast using both of their levels, 3/4 and 5/6. How does this program work? Algebra for Breakfast is meant as a supplement program. That means that this program can not and should not be used as a kid’s only math curriculum. However, […]
Visual Writing Process for Kids – Part 3
Editing can be a hard part of this process for kids. A lot of kids like to write and just be done. Who wants to review what they have already done and fix mistakes, correct problems, add better transitions, etc? Probably not a lot of us, if we are being honest. Some kids might feel like their work is good enough and making corrections proves they aren’t doing enough. This can be a hard shell to crack, but with some ways that make this process easier kids are able to overcome this challenging, but needed step. One thing that makes editing hard for kids is the fact that they are going to need to mark up their work. If writing is not their […]

Memoria Press’ Iliad & Odyssey Complete Set – Review
Memoria Press is one of those homeschool companies that I had heard of, but never used any of their products before.

Manhood Journey Father’s Starter Kit – Review
Given the title of this review, this is one I needed to hand over to hubby to handle. He worked with our boys through this kit and has written the review himself, for you. So, without further adieu, here is my Hubby’s review… My wife who is part of Homeschool Review Crew let me know about Manhood Journey Father’s Starter Kit by City on a Hill Studio. With being the father of three boys, I was obviously curious about it. I have been looking for the right product to help disciple my boys for a while. I have found the usual books and DVDs but the way that this was laid out, I was compelled. I am wary of Christian products in this […]
Creating a Masterpiece Monthly Plan – Review
The word masterpiece sounds so sophisticated, elegant and refined doesn’t it. To think that my kids who aren’t natural artists could create something that could hold the title of masterpiece definitely had my attention from the beginning. The fact that I could have my kids work through these projects, at home, by my side, got my full attention. So what is this program, how does it work, and does it stand up to it’s name of having kids create masterpieces? That is what this review will show you, so you can decide if this curriculum is right for your family. Creating a Masterpiece Monthly Plan is an online subscription service. With your subscription you get access to multiple levels of video art instruction that your whole […]
Visual Writing Process for Kids
Let’s face it, writing just isn’t one of those things that comes naturally for a lot of people. It usually takes learning the process and lots of practice. So what is a mom to do when her kiddo is very much a visual learner, maybe even struggling with a learning disability of some kind? I am by far no expert, but I want to share with you, what has worked for my kiddos time and time again. Being a visual learner myself, I developed this method for my own writing and when I had kids with the same struggles I adapted it to be more hands on for my active boys. Think about what kind of assignments kids get on any given day. […]
