Homeschool Curriculum | 4th Grade Literature Studies!

[@rachelpursel9267]

I’m curious to know what you think about these two different literature programs after using each one! Please let us know!

[@pillarsandpress]

I preferred the Total Language Plus books. I felt like they offered a more robust language arts education that included vocabulary, spelling, and writing exercises. Memoria Press was pretty much JUST a study guide for the novel. Almost all of the writing activities were copying passages from the book. My daughter liked the Memoria Press one better, but I think that's because it was overall less work (she was doing another Language Arts book as well so TLP + her grammar bool may have been too much.) I think it depends on what you're looking for! I also really loved the classic starts lapbook for novel study, but it doesn't offer any actual grammar teachings.

Great video! We have been using Bravewriter Dart and Arrow for years and love it. Have just started Memoria Press. We also have Progeny Press Lit studies that we plan on trying as well. I will look into the Confessions of a Homeschooler for my 4th grader, I like the idea of gentle approach for the classics.

That is awesome! I am interested in using Brave writer in the future! I hear so many good things about them!

You & your channel are such a tremendous blessing...Seriously cannot TY enough for all the info that you've taken the time to share 🤗💕

[@pillarsandpress]

Wow, thank you! I’m so glad!

we are starting up our first year of homeschool, and have this same goal of wanting my girls to be lifelong readers/learners. Thanks for the great suggestions!

[@pillarsandpress]

That is awesome! Good luck with your first year!

@@pillarsandpress thanks so much!

[@seasonsofwonder]

That is also my goal, to create in my little girl a love of reading! Great job mama! ☺️💗

[@pillarsandpress]

Yes! 👏 Thank you!

[@robinhill8787]

Very nicely said

[@pillarsandpress]

Thanks for listening

Yes! This was helpful! I looked at Lightning literature and book shark and a few others. I didn't want to commit to a whole year and a bunch of preselected books my kids might not like. I am building a cart over at Rainbow Resource. I will be searching these out. Thanks!❤

[@pillarsandpress]

Glad it was helpful! It's hard to spend money on something you aren't sure will work! I'm interested to see if my daughter connects more with the Total Language Plus or the Memoria Press books.

@@pillarsandpress that will be great to see your thoughts at the end. Nice to have the videos to memorialize your journey!
