This was such a great review thank you so much

Thank you!

You can do this program repeatedly with younger preschoolers. Good books should be read repeatedly with young children. The same for the Prek program.

If I would like to start at a traditional (in our area) school calendar in Aug/Sept, would this be okay for a 3.5 year old?

[@homeschoolpeace]

Hi. I used it with my 3-4 year olds, so it would be a great fit, in my opinion. Hope that helps. Thanks!

Kate snow also has Preschool Math at Home which would fit perfect with this program.

Is it really called a trimester? Interesting perspective, thanks for sharing.

[@melisaroberson2209]

@@StephanieMT trimester means a span of time broken into 3 parts. Semester is a span of time broken into 2 parts. The word trimester isn't unique to pregnancy.

Are there any Bible stories or alphabet recognition in this program? My son is 4.5 and not ready for the Pre-K package.

[@homeschoolpeace]

Hi! In Sonlight P 3/4 there is a Bible Story Book. The bible story book is not scheduled out. They just recommend reading from the bible story book daily. I already had a few bible story books in my home, so I simply read one bible story every morning from our bible book. We used the Jesus Storybook Bible or the Beginners Picture Bible. If you already have a picture bible, you can read right from it. If not, you can pick up the Family-Time Bible in Picture book from Sonlight: www.sonlight.com/TB01. For alphabet recognition, the p3/4 level takes a very relaxed approach. It recommends throughout some of the read-alouds to sing the ABCs, practicing the alphabet with Boom Chica Boom Boom story, etc. It does not have a full early language arts program incorporated within p3/4. For my children, I did add on the Letter of the Week Do A Dots worksheets from Confessions of a Homeschooler. shared.confessionsofahomeschooler.com/lotw/A_ZDoADots.pdf I also used a basic preschool workbook that included tracing the alphabet. We worked on one letter/letter sound each week. I hope this helps!

I love how you call it "rich literature".

[@homeschoolpeace]
