What are you using for language arts? Let me know ❤

[@breanas_mommy]

I'm just going to use a Sylvan Language Arts workbook since we couldn't afford much but I like what your set teaches! I would've gotten something more like TGTB if I could've. Lol

[@sarahe7515]

I pieced it together and I was never a fan of a one size fits all program. I still make my daughter read out loud and we read to them at night even though most people stop that. The comprehension and reading is actually strong for my two readers. Grateful for that.

[@sarahe7515]

@@breanas_mommydon’t feel bad. I told myself that the money is tight and you have what you have when it comes to curriculum.

[@lifewithginab]

​@sarahe7515 completely agree! The beauty of homeschooling is that we can be flexible and there is a lot of affordable and even free curriculums out there. Thanks for sharing for views and perspective ❤

[@lifewithginab]

​@@breanas_mommydon't worry mama! The curriculum we use won't define our homeschool... you're doing amazing and I hope you have the best year ❤ hugs!!

[@indiadavis2232]

Good job reading Nicholas!!! 👏🏾👏🏾

[@jennifer61122]

I’ve been doing this level with my 4th grader who has some learning challenges and I feel like it’s really well done. She loves the readers that come with it and the video lessons.

[@lifewithginab]

The readers are so awesome! So glad she is liking it ❤️

[@kasitouvell3895]

We’re halfway thru level 3 and love it. My son struggled with the books in level 2 so I was hesitant to move forward but so glad I did. Their book choices are beautifully amazing. Especially the Badger Hill Farms series. It got him reading on par and love reading. ❤

[@lifewithginab]

That's so awesome! My son loved the series too!

[@Tiffanylee329]

Yay! I love when you post! ❤

[@lifewithginab]

Aww thank you so much Tiffany ❤

[@SDaulton]

Thank you, great video! We’re finishing up level 2 and I’m so excited to start the new level 3!

[@katiebaker6574]

This was helpful! Thank you for sharing! My daughter will be starting with level 3 next week and we’re so excited!

[@lifewithginab]

I'm so excited for you! And you are so welcome ❤

[@Jessp367]

Gina!! Here watching ❤ 🎉 excited to hear what you thought about level 3!

[@lifewithginab]

Thank you so much love ❤️

[@lisajtv9579]

I agree!!! My suggestion would be that they do video lessons for at least 4 thru 6 as they cover some different topics.

[@michellemunoz5133]

I love how he’s proud of himself! That’s so wonderful! Tell him we say great job! And Bravo for a great job done.

[@lifewithginab]

I told him! He said that was such a nice comment... thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@peacelove3450]

I had no idea about the spelling and the app... it sounds so great Gina! I also love that you all are off grid and i cant wait for you to share more about off grid living and watch some of your vlogs when they come out! Thanks again for sharing all this. It really is nice to see the lesson and assessment being done. So nice of your son to share ❤

[@lifewithginab]

So sweet!! You are so welcome! Thank you for your kind words!

[@HomegrownHomeschool]

Loved seeing how your last lessons went!

[@lifewithginab]

Thanks mama!!! ❤️

[@lorinaquin9365]

Currently using K-prep and hope to begin K in September. We really enjoyed the preschool and learned SO much!

[@lifewithginab]

I absolutely loved the preschool and prek ... it was so fun! ❤ and my son learned so much too!

[@jacquelynmaidl8446]

We are going to try The Good and the Beautiful preschool this fall, and I hope we continue. I really like how it looks and can't wait to get the kindergarten set.

[@lifewithginab]

We loved the preschool course... my son learned so much and he had so much fun! I hope it works out! ❤

[@yanetcornejo9979]

Hello yoy teach your children really good. I hope to be able to get the good and beautiful first grade for my son homescholing him also. Your videos are awesome.

[@lifewithginab]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@audreymaldonado5655]

He’s a great reader! I love his expression and tone of voice. Thanks for sharing! Look into Key to the Treasure, sword in the Tree by Bulla. He writes lots of good books for this age. My son’s favorite right now is the InvestiGators. They’re super cute graphic novels. My son is older, but struggles with LA. I have a few lessons I want him to finish from LA 2, then I like the new LA3, but he doesn’t need to do all of it. I’m not sure how he can pick our way through it while reading the new books. 😊

[@lifewithginab]

Wow thank you for all the suggestions! We are going to take a look at those books! So appreciate it ❤

[@jennyreneeriley]

Got to the end of 180 Days of Spelling level 1, did a test for retention and it was close to 0%---so we are going to start TGAB Level 2. Glad to hear you are liking the spelling so much!

[@lifewithginab]

Wow thanks for sharing this!

[@vuyokaziyawa2468]

I really appreciate this review, my daughter is finishing level 2 and we also really enjoy the read together, but I was worried about spelling with may HS Mamas concerned about spelling from TGTB and we really love it. But I'm going ahead with level 3 and really looking forward❤ thank you for making the video ❤

[@lifewithginab]

Glad it was helpful! You are so welcome!! :)

[@shannonfbc1]

Level 4 the writing work shop is when they really leap forward in spelling and writing skills hang in there ❤

Always lovin all of your content. When you have the time, would love to hear more about your "the good and the beautiful" journey; in terms of what led you to this curricula.....??

[@lifewithginab]

I am a new homeschool mom. My son is in third grade. I would reccomend Dinosaur Club series by Rex Stone. I am a teacher, who quit, to work with my son. The dinosaur club series has 7 books and I was totally impressed with the vocabulary in the books. Vocabulary is so important!

[@lifewithginab]

Awesome! Thank you!! I do appreciate it... will look into the books!

[@tracy8591]

I am so torn on choosing between TGTB or Gather round for homeschool language arts. My kids do a blended learning here in Calgary. They attend school 2 days a week for math and science and my responsibility at home is Language Arts and Social Studies. Anyways, I keep swaying back and forth between the two and only want to choose one as we also have separate spelling, HW (tgtb) along with our social studies curriculum. There’s just not enough time to add in too much and risk burn out…….do you have some insight or what you feel you would choose if if came to choosing between the two? I know you’ve tried both….do you feel GR offers reasonable language arts?

[@lifewithginab]

That's awesome that you can do a hybrid! Good for you! I did feel like the unit I did the language arts was lacking and not sure if it would be enough for what we were looking for. It was very history focused. Which I honestly loved. I do think Gather round has free samples... I would give them a try... and same thing with the good and the beautiful.. language arts curriculum is completely free. Try it out and see which one fits best!

[@tracy8591]

@@lifewithginab tnx you so much!

[@amberarvelo]

This might sound like a silly question, but do you read the literature study books like “Heidi” or do they just reference the book in the course work?

[@lifewithginab]

Just want to make sure I'm understanding right... the "Heidi" literature book... is the one for the good and the beautiful? (Heidi and the highland pony? I forgot the name of the book. ... The book that comes with the good and the beautiful? Or are you talking about another study? They books are used for vocabulary, Phonics, reading, and challenging words.

[@ednacotta5125]

É como gramática?

[@elizabeth0265]

If your child does struggle with reading, what resources do you suggest would be a good option to add to the good and the beautiful?

[@lifewithginab]

Great question... first, I would make sure my child was at the correct level. That's really important... if there is progress as we go a long ... even if it's slow progress that's a good sign. I would actually take it slow and figure out what my child is struggling with... is it the Phonics portion? Fluency? Etc. I actually could make a whole video on this... which I plan to do. If this curriculum wasn't working for my son... (maybe because of the all in one aspect) I would maybe try and take a look at a different curriculum that focused on what they were struggling with ... but I think it depends on the child and what the issues are. I wouldn't try to add more but maybe meet the child where they need to be and focus on what they are struggling with if that makes sense! Sometimes less is more :)

[@joeljoy5238]

does this curriculum have a weekly lay out, as far as planning is concerned? love your content btw!

[@lifewithginab]

Thank you so much!! So usually you can do a lesson a day (there is 120 lessons) and they recommend 4 x a week, which would equal a normal school schedule for a year. I just go with the flow and sometimes do more lessons in a week and other times less... until we finish... hope this helps :)

[@joeljoy5238]

@@lifewithginab thank you so much for clarifying, much appreciated!! Looking forward to using this curriculum with my 1st and grader!

[@claudiazamorano3975]

How long does each lesson take? aside from the reading

[@lifewithginab]

If I had to break it down, I would say (for my son) 1.lesson anywhere from 5 to 7 mins 2. Lessons practice anywhere from 5 to 8 mins 3. Independent work 5 to 10 mins 4. Shared reading 6 to 8 mins 5. Personal reading (20 mins) Hope that breaks it down ❤ The lesson, lesson practice, Independent work, and shared reading would be anywhere from 30 to 40 mins depending on the lessons and concept my son was learning. (This isn't including independent reading for 20 mins)

[@ednacotta5125]

Figuras de linguagem?

[@lifewithginab]

gramática, pontuação, fonética, leitura, praticar ortografia, aprender a escrever diários, resumos, parágrafos, etc... inclui até geografia e arte :)

[@missj2496]

I have the old edition of this, but I wanted to purchase the book pack to add to our library. I’m hoping I’ll be able to make it all flow together! Love your content!!

[@lifewithginab]

I think you would definitely be able to make it work! And thank you so much ❤
