Home Grown Kids As a young mother in the 80's, I subscribed to Growing Without Schooling to read about this curious "new homeschooling".

Abeka curriculum Although developed specifically for Christian School classrooms, the homeschool community has found Abeka materials to be easily adapted to homeschool. A Beka materials are unashamedly Christian and traditional in their educational approach, striving to keep learning lively, interesting, and memorable.A Beka Book materials have been developed as a result of 50 years of actual classroom experience. It is my estimation that Abeka curriculum is used more widely in homeschools than any other curriculum.

Konos Curriculum and Kids Go Together for Fun and Learning....Of the 20+ years that we have homeschooled, we used Konos for eight years. With our four active boys and their energetic sister, we naturally thrived using this excellent curriculum that includes multi-level learning and as much activity as you can handle. The choice is yours though whether you want to stick mainly to reading aloud or whether you want to let the children learn a lot through exploration and hands-on activity. My kids who are in college now still remember what they learned in our Konos Units. We have wonderful memories of learning together with unit studies, and especially with Konos.
