Primary Complete Unit Program

for Kindergarten through Second Grade


Where Can You Get 3 Years of Homeschool Curriculum for less than $32/year?

Perfect for Kindergarten through Second grade, our Primary Complete Unit Program is organized arounPrimary Program Cover - Kindergarten through 2nd Grade Homeschool Curriculumd nine chronological history units.  It is designed to be used according to our  suggested  schedule, moving your kindergarten through second grade students  from Creation to Modern annually.

We have found that following this pace, especially for younger students, keeps them engaged as well as gives them the opportunity to revisit a topic in a short enough time to actually recall more of what they've previously learned.

Progressing through the units yearly allows the opportunity to "layer" information, covering different aspects of the same time period annually so that a deeper understanding is achieved and connections between historic events are more apparent.

 

I really love the primary & intermediate programs. The books are a joy to read and share with my children and the science and art are so gracefully woven into the time periods we are studying.

As in all of our complete programs, this program integrates history, science, geography, language arts, fine arts and projects--all in one homeschool curriculum---using whole, living books. Although books are not included with the curriculum, many are readily available at your local public or church library or online.

Each unit provides ...

  • an Historical book list, including:
    • the author
    • ISBN,
    • library call number (if available)
    • approximate listening and reading levels
  • a Poetry and Fine Arts book list
  • a Science book list.
  • an multi-page summary of each time period
  • hands-on projects and activities provided for both history and science, some doing double-duty as fine arts projects as well.
  • For the teacher's benefit, there are multi-page summaries of each time period, to aid you in reviewing the most important events (not shown in the sample unit below).

The 100+ page homeschool Manual  that comes with the Complete Programs covers how to teach and evaluate history, science, language arts (phonics, spelling, reading, poetry, etc.) and fine arts, all using books that are available in your local libraries or on-line.
