Our Review

Some time ago I home schooled a nephew of mine that was having behavior problems in public school. When his parents pulled him out and asked for my help, I searched around for curriculum to use with a VERY reluctant seventh grader. Learning Language Arts Through Literature came highly recommended so I decided to give it a try.

My nephew was very bright but really hated school work. This program worked out well for us because he never realized how much work he was actually completing since so many subjects are rolled into one book. He did not care much for the books we read as part of the book studies, but I personally attribute that to his attitude.

Coming out of public school, this program was right on par with what he had been learning in school prior to being removed.
