I have found some very nice workbooks for the wee ones at Chapters. Cute, wholesome, and sweet.
Here are some other great books that I’ve unearthed from the bowels of Google. The one book, Blinky Bill’s Alphabet Copy Book, was a free printable that I found at Downunder Literature. They have some wonderful copybooks there as well, a old fashioned Mother Goose one and some Beatrix Potter ones. The UK version of the Oxford Book of Children’s Verse which is packed full with excellent poetry, some very old and funny verses on manners that the kids enjoyed when I read to them at mealtime.
I took out Alpha-Phonics from the Library and I have been pleasantly surprised by it’s effectiveness and simplicity, I highly recommend this book.
I was very happy to find A Child’s Geography, I am hoping to purchase this to use with all of the children. This is an old classic that has been re-vamped. I’ve looked at the online samples and the narrative draws you in right away. I have found that the Canadian Geography book we have is full of facts but unless the child has a keen interest in such things, it quickly becomes a bore and doesn’t immerse the child in the actual landscape that God has made. Actually some friends of ours have a dvd and in it you travel across Canada by plane. The scenery is breathtaking and it helps you to realize how much beauty God has surrounded us with in the midst of the sin we have to bear. He is truly merciful.As well there is a book called Women in the Material Women, as well as Material World: A Global Family Portrait. The latter I have not seen, but I did take the other one out from the library and although it was a bit older, (early nineties?). Another movie that is along the same lines is Migration. Now if you have children who are glued to the telly watching attention grabbing loads of junk, it is likely they will have less appreciation for these types of films. Hopefully this is not the case!
I hope these curriculum suggestions will enrich your homeschool experience:)
