I’m so glad I found your channel. I’m going to make the switch from the good and the beautiful to CLE. I watched hours and hours of reviews on curriculum and FINALLY something I can afford and I think my children will enjoy too. All glory to God! And I love your laugh and the joy of the Lord you have. New sub. 💕🤗

[@faithlilis]

The laundry mountain and dishes and I STILL GOTTA COOK AS HEALTHY AS POSSIBLE! Just to hear comments by my kids like "um this doesn't taste the same, did u put something else mom? Is this the healthy version🥴?" I FEEL LIKE I CANT REACH MY GOAL TO KEEP THIS STEADY 😂 NOW I KNOW IM NOT ALONE LOL AND I STILL HAVE TO PRIORITIZE HOMESCHOOLING TOO. OH SO MUCH FUN LOVE IT ❤

[@tanyacagle2423]

We love cle too! We switched over from the good and beautiful and it’s been a major change and blessing and just so good for our family!

[@PlanPrepPray]

I love to hear that thank you for sharing ❤️

[@Grace_Filled_Homeschool]

CLE has been the best change for our family! I wish I had known about it with my oldest 2. My youngest 4 have the best understanding of phonics, reading, language arts and math .

[@PlanPrepPray]

Yes, I feel like it is a hidden gem.

[@kimberlygoudzwaard2811]

We love CLE! It’s so independent and thorough. My kids do their math, reading, and language arts.

[@PlanPrepPray]

Yes it's so good

[@Abeautifulmundanelife]

Thanks for sharing! I will check this out. I love your laugh and joy you share even when talking about curriculum!

[@PlanPrepPray]

Thank you so much! It really is worth checking out you will not regret it.

[@burkhousehold8880]

Yes, CLE is a solid , rigorous program but somehow gentle as well. We did Abeka for a year and found thst it was a solid, rigorous program but way too teacher intensive for me....thr price also was extremely expensive.

[@PlanPrepPray]

Same situation

[@amandasandoval4447]

Thank you for a great review

[@PlanPrepPray]

Glad it was helpful!

[@oursweetiebirdshome]

I love your videos so much! CLE has been such a blessing to our family as well! ❤

[@PlanPrepPray]

Yes, it is such a blessing. Love your videos as well!

[@norwoodw34]

I love using CLE!! We went away from it last year because I wanted to just “try something new”. A couple months later we were back to using CLE!…lol. All my kids are learning to do independent work and it really is open and go which I love!

[@PlanPrepPray]

Yes, it is and so academically rich!

[@kyanalewis7852]

We love CLE!

[@PlanPrepPray]

Its so good!

[@JMU2512]

We love CLE!😊

[@PlanPrepPray]

It is so good!

[@VW777]

Good timing, I was thinking of CLE today 😊

[@PlanPrepPray]

yay! check it out and let me know if you have any questions!

[@evadyck2757]

I have always used CLE in our homeschool, people always ask me if I don’t want to try something else, I always say I’m not going to change as long as it works. We are very happy with CLE

[@PlanPrepPray]

So true

[@laurenhepler7385]

We love CLE!!

[@PlanPrepPray]

I know it's the best

[@LifeintheMundane]

I’m so glad you introduced me to this curriculum

[@PlanPrepPray]

Your always giving me the good stuff happy I could give some back!

[@stefanielynn84]

Thank you! Looking into this now for my 7th grader who.is wanting something different.

[@PlanPrepPray]

Glad it was helpful!

[@lovepraysign6891]

I have to start with ->You look absolutely stunning in this video! BACK TO THE TOPIC! I totally LOVE CLE and wouldn’t bring myself to change anytime soon. My kiddos are sooooo independent with their work. On those days when it is so hard for me and I’m thinking “we might do something different today” -> it is so encouraging that they have already started and are on a ball. The light units do most of the teaching and I mainly reenforce the things they may be struggling with AND the stuff they have for us to review with the kids daily. The program is sooooo strong. I could go on for days BUT I love it. And I think I even watched a few of your videos about it either just before I purchased the first time or just after I started using it. Either way -> I love this video! Thank you for all your wise advice!

[@PlanPrepPray]

You are so sweet thank you for this comment I hope it encourages other mamas too❤️

[@Trekkifulshay]

We love CLE. :) We went through 3 curricula before landing on CLE.

[@PlanPrepPray]

So, glad you found it and it works for your family ❤

[@BlossomsBungalow]

Good morning from South Georgia ☀️ You mentioned Rod & Staff in the video. Have you used that for math as well? I’m trying to decide between the two for my daughter who struggles greatly with math.

[@PlanPrepPray]

We have used CLE for math I would request a free one and see if it would be a fit for your girls here is a link to the website christianlight.org/homeschool?

[@kristam3447]

Hi Wendy! Thank you for this informative video about CLE curriculum. Have you and your children ever used their Social Studies or Science curriculum?

[@michellebatac1336]

Same question but adding, I’m sure you’ve looked into and why/why not use it, in your opinion?

[@PlanPrepPray]

@@michellebatac1336 Oh I love this definitely doing a video on this!

[@PlanPrepPray]

We have not but I've been thinking about it.

[@mrsevergreentree]

My son thinks it's boring..maybe bc it has no color.. he's 7..I want to dump cle but maybe in doing something wrong

[@zmommy4044]

We've used math from cle. Gave my son a great foundation but he greatly dislikes and struggles with math so we switched to something with more games to make review tolerable for him. However, he is an AVID READER. my question is what is the reading curriculum like? What are your thoughts, a review on the skills, the books they read, and how teacher intensive is it. Hes going into 4th grade. Thank you.

[@ca_c01]

Is there a particular denomination that is represented in the teaching (Other than maybe in the Bible workbooks)?

[@rosalindreloj7928]

Do you feel like the 4 pages for Math and language arts are overwhelming? I LOVE everything I have seen, but feel like I have to choose one or the other because it will be a headache for my kids to do 8 pages each per day. What are your thoughts or recommendations!? SO VERY MUCH appreciated!!!

[@PlanPrepPray]

There is so much I really have to do a video to fully explain but I will say that you don't have to have your child do everything there is a lot of built in review. You can start with one and add more in. DM me on insta and we can talk some more

[@Stephtarfa]

How is CLE language arts for older grades- 4th-7th?

[@PlanPrepPray]

We are currently using level 3 with my 4th grader and she loves it and can't wait to do level 4.

[@erinhemry6275]

I did 5th and 7th grade math this year with my boys. I was pretty nervous when we started because it looked very challenging. My 5th grader especially has just blown up with his math skills. He was struggling a lot last year with a different video based and supposedly gentle curriculum but has excelled far beyond my expectations with CLE in only one year! My 7th grader has always been good at math and has been doing great with CLE as well. I love it!

[@kaylahamilton801]

Im looking for a math curriculum that will have options (video instruction) to teach my child when they eventually enter a math level that is beyond my capabilities 😅 Does CLE offer anything like that?

[@burkhousehold8880]

No, CLE doesn't have a video option but Teaching Textbooks does. It is not as advanced as CLE, but it certainly simplifies things for parents. I am sticking with CLE for now. Night possibly use it later in HS, but I won't switch as long as what I have now is working.

[@PlanPrepPray]

It does not have video but builds towards independence. After level 2 my kiddos are fully independent with minor help on specific challenges that they may have.

[@burkhousehold8880]

@@PlanPrepPray yep, mine are fairly independent , too. I love how it teaches directly in the student book. My six year old learning how to borrow when subtracting simply from reading the instructions in his book. I thought I was going to have to explain and demonstrate how to do it several times, but he understood after reading it just once. I like having a curriculum that my kids can do independently without it being a video. That's not to say there isn't any value in video learning and that I would never do it. But I have found a curriculum that's solid, simple, gentle, and leans toward helping kids be independent fairly early. Of course, each child is different so some might take longer than others before they become independent. CLE is set up nicely for homeschooling moms who have multiple things to juggle daily

[@erinhemry6275]

My eldest is 13 and did the 7th grade math this year. It was hard! And already some of it was past my own comfort level. BUT the light units are so thorough that I learned those hard things right along with him. We love CLE :)

[@PlanPrepPray]

@@erinhemry6275 love this ❤️
