This is homeschooling simplified! All books, resources, and supplies are clearly identified. An added plus is that book titles are available at amazon.com, and the weekly lesson plans keep parents on the right track. With additional room to improvise, you can't go wrong with this one.

I really love this series. Each week has a schedule, which helps tremendously with organization, and a bunch of suggested activities that are actually fun, interesting, and varied. There is some prep work involved, but I think that's a good thing, because it forces you to be more involved at all times rather than letting you take the lazy way and just tear out some sheets. I can see how it would be harder for parents with two kids at the same level, since the pages aren't perforated, but other than that I think it provides a great backbone for planning and learning. I also like how it doesn't just focus on math and reading, but branches out into other areas as well.
Overall very good... July 20, 2001

As a former educator I was very interested in the authors' choices for a 2nd grade scope and sequence (specific objectives to be taught). Although the objectives taught are excellent, it was difficult to determine what they were because nowhere in the book were yearly objectives listed. I had to dig them out of each daily lesson. That was frustrating. Almost as frustrating was digging out a list of literature needed for the year. Again, I had to search each lesson. All that aside, the lessons are excellent and provide numerous approaches to teaching concepts. This is not simply a workbook as many homeschool texts are. I recommend it to all homeschoolers who are willing to work a little harder to provide a quality education for their child. I plan to use this text to homeschool my child this year.
 An inexpensive help for homeschoolers with 1 or 2 children August 3, 2000

The Learn at Home series is pretty thorough but it requires a lot of effort and preparation on the teachers part. It is not an all-inclusive package but a good guideline. The thick books are difficult for the students to use when they do the worksheets in them and the pages are not designed to tear out and photocopy. This series is not for big families with 1 teacher because there is alot of time in gathering manipulatives and resources. I don't recommend it for the nervous beginner but my wife liked it's plans. I thought the vocabulary was too easy for the grades. It would be a great model for your school year planning and is inexpensive.
