Welcome to the Homeschool How-To Find my Curriculum, a series where we talk all about curriculum. I've been interviewing homeschooling families for over a year now on my main podcast, the Homeschool How-To, but I really wanted to zero in on curriculum. There's so much out there. How do I know what would work best for me and my child? How do I know what works for one child would work for the other? I might like the curriculum I'm using now, but how do I know there's not a better one out there, especially if I don't know all the curriculums? And what about supplemental curriculum? Should I be using that too?
Speaker 1:
This series is to help you decide just that. I'm going to interview parents who are using all the curriculums so that you can decide the absolute best way to unfold your homeschooling journey. The absolute best way to unfold your homeschooling journey. Welcome and with us today. I have Leanne Scott coming back. We just released an episode with her where she talked all about her homeschooling, working while homeschooling and releasing her book about homeschooling, and now she's going to talk to us today about masterbooks. So, leanne, thank you so much for coming back to the show.
Speaker 2:
Absolutely Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1:
All right Masterbooks. I hear about this one. I have no idea, like what ages it's, for what subjects it's, for what it covers, so lay it on me. What are you? What are you using this for with your kids?
Speaker 2:
I even brought some things to show you. So it starts at the very beginning, actually before the very beginning. You know a lot of homeschoolers don't even start curriculums with their kids until they're seven or eight years old. Masterbooks has even pre-K stuff for kids if you want to start working with them on things like shapes and colors and things like that.
Speaker 2:
Like shapes and colors and things like that and of course you know it's not quite as rigorous as some of the things as you're going to continue on, but I have not used anything at that level with my kids. My youngest son we started homeschooling when he was in kindergarten and I was using a different curriculum at the time and I started using this a little bit with my oldest child and I was using a different curriculum at the time and I started using this a little bit with my oldest child and I really liked it, and she's going to be starting high school, so that's kind of the one that I'm trying to switch to. I don't know that all of my kids will always use all of these for every subject, but they start as young as pre-K and goes all the way through the high school level.
Speaker 1:
Oh, wow.
Speaker 2:
So they really have everything. Yeah, they have everything, okay, so what and every subject.
Speaker 1:
Okay, so that's what I was going to ask. Next is what subjects does it cover?
Speaker 2:
So I'm going to show you this is the workbook. So they do have. It's primarily workbook based, but they do have most and I'm not going to say all and I can't tell you which ones, but they do have, um, I think some of them you can download and print. Um, I've never taken that option. It's a little less expensive to do that than purchase the workbooks. But, um, I've never done that with him and the reason is because for me it's just as cost effective to buy the workbook as it is to buy the ink in my printer and the paper to print it, so for, and it's just easier and, as some people may, rather do that, because then you can hole, punch it and put it in notebooks and separate it the way you want it and that sort of thing. But I just like to buy the workbooks and just start from day one. So this is, this is called Simply K. This is the kindergarten curriculum and I have not a hundred percent decided that I'm going to use it with my daughter. I have a five-year-old who is probably kindergarten ready. I don't know that she's socially ready, but she's going to be homeschooled, so it doesn't matter, um, and, but she's definitely academically ready, and so I really liked this one because it's broken down into just three days a week and the lessons are pretty short and it just kind of walks you through it, like you don't really even need a teacher's guide or anything like that. So it'll take you through three days a week and then you can barrel through it and keep going. And it's basic, it's simple, it's you know, a few minutes, 30 minutes a day with a kindergarten student, whereas you're not going to be spending hours and hours because they're going to be mostly learning through play. So it's lots of coloring and tracing and things like that, um, so I'm probably going to start my daughter on it and just play it by ear. If she does really well, we'll keep going and if not, we'll put it away and come back to it the next year, cause she's only five She'll turn six halfway through the school year Um, but all of my kids because my youngest ones, or my oldest ones rather started in public school they all started school at five, um, so I know I don't have to start her, but in Kentucky, where we are, you actually have to start your kids in school at age six. So even if, um, I don't start a curriculum with her, I'll have to report her um at age six. So I'm going to go ahead and start just to see how she does, just to see how she does, and that's one of the beauties of it. If she doesn't do well, then we'll put it away and come back the next year.
Speaker 2:
But after kindergarten, that's when it starts kind of breaking up into different subject areas. So, like with kindergarten, this kindergarten workbook is going to go through letters and numbers and things like that. But that's it. It's all contained right here. Once you get to the first grade level, and the only reason I have some of these is because they do sales occasionally. And when they do big sales and sometimes they even have like scratch and dent sales, I'll go in and buy them up because I know I'm going to use them eventually, and so I'll do so like a big bulk order, and so I think I got this one on sale, knowing that I'm not going to use it for a couple more years. But that's okay because I'll have it on hand. But it's broken up into different subjects once they get to the first grade.
Speaker 1:
And that one is language arts. Okay, language arts for level one, like grade one.
Speaker 2:
For level one and I say grade just because that's what's ingrained in me as a former teacher but, um, you know, level one, whatever, and um, so you know you're going to use it with your kids as you go. So it's just broken up into different lessons and each lesson has a different day, um, and these are going to go through a five day week, um, but I'll tell you that I used it with my son last year when he did second grade, and there were some weeks that we only did four of the lessons and some weeks that it took us two weeks to get through all five days because we were doing other things. So, um, that being said, I did not finish. This was the second grade one. I did not finish this with him last year. Um, he's pretty close to the end but not quite finished, and these are consumable, so you can see like he's. You know he has written in them, so you know they're completely consumable, but you can also you can make copies of them if you want to, that sort of thing. So for him, I'm probably just going to pick up where we left off, finish second grade and then move on into third grade whenever he finishes that.
Speaker 2:
Or level three. Some of them even have other things that go with them, supplemental things like this, so you can add to it if you want to, but you don't have to. There's also math, which are the two main things that we use it for our language arts and math, and they're pretty colorful. This is the level six math. So my son, who's actually technically grade seven but he's still on a level six in math, this will be what he does um coming up starting next month. So they're, you know, it's just lesson by lesson. They're consumable, um, I like that. They're consumable because the kids can just write directly in them. But I also um my daughter last year when she was doing her pre-algebra in middle school. I didn't even have her write in it, she just did all her problems for math on like notebook paper and then when my son gets to that level he'll be able to use the same book and I don't have to rebuy it. So it's definitely and I would, you know, copy the quizzes and things.
Speaker 2:
Once you get into like the middle school level, then you have a teacher's guide with keys and things like that to go with it, which I definitely need for math. I've got the rest of it for the most part, but then you know it's just like anything else. Once you get to high school, this is gonna be her algebra textbook. It's got a solutions manual, I've got language arts materials, she's got her biology, her american history. All of those things are in workbook format.
Speaker 2:
The one thing I do really like about it, especially once they get to the high school level, is they have um something supplemental that they call um masterbooks academy, I think is what it's called, and so you can purchase it. It is a separate purchase because you don't have to necessarily have it, but you can add it on if you want. So, like for her history class, we probably won't use it. For her biology class we probably won't use it, but for her algebra class I think we will, and it's just pre-recorded lessons that are usually no more than 20 to 30 minutes long that she can go in and watch when she gets to that particular one, and some of them aren't even day by day.
Speaker 2:
You know some of them, I think, like the biology, I don't even think it's an everyday video. It's just certain lessons or labs or things like that, where there's a teacher who kind of goes over the curriculum and explains the lesson for the day, and she can watch that as a supplement to just me teaching her. But because it's all prerecorded, it's at her own pace. And the one thing that I especially love about those pre-recorded lessons are that they are, I think, an 18-month subscription, so when you purchase it you don't get to keep it forever, but you get to keep it for a year and a half, so if your child doesn't finish the course within that school year, they can continue on to the next school year. So it lasts for quite a long time. So I really like that part of it.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, that's cool. So okay, All right, I think my first question for you is you have been a teacher for 20 years and if you want to listen to the episode where Leanne explains why she left her teaching career after 20 years and decided to homeschool her kids, and actually, well, I should back that up, because you decided to homeschool your children before you left your teaching job. You just left your teaching job You've been homeschooling them for a while.
Speaker 1:
So it's a super interesting story. Check that out. I think it's episode 74. Um and all right, so you have taught for 20 years what made you decide to go with master books?
Speaker 2:
Um, we are a Christian family and this is a Christian based um curriculum, so that was one of the main things. But it wasn't. Um, I mean, I was looking for Christian and I think even back when I was, when I was researching and looking for curriculums and things, I was searching for some Christian based curriculums because we wanted to make sure that we included all of that in our in our school. But somehow or another, I came across it and I one of the things that they have on their website is that you can preview some of the pages before um, before you buy it, and so I was just looking through them to see what they looked like and see if they looked like they were kid friendly and things like that. And you know they were colorful. Um, they were step-by-step, they contained all of the different.
Speaker 2:
Everything was workbook based and, believe it or not, um, I offered to let my daughter take um an online class for some online classes for her freshman year coming up, and she's like, oh no, I don't want to do that because, also, all they do in school or at least all my kids did in school was stare screens all day long. They stared at computers all day long they were one-to-one and most schools um, at least where I live are like that now. So, um, she was like I don't want to do that, I'd rather have a workbook where I can just do the page and then I'm done. And so that was. One thing is that I could buy the materials, the physical materials, they were Christian based, and that they were pretty user friendly both for me as the mom and for the kids, because I could say all right, I want you to do pages three and four, and she could be working on pages three and four while I was working with another child.
Speaker 1:
So that, to me, was really helpful. Okay, and now, when we talk about Christian based, you think of something like math is the? Is the religion in that part of it? Or like could someone say, well, I want to teach a separate Bible course with my children. Or like somebody that is, what do you say? Non-secular? No, secular, secular is I get a mix up. So someone that's secular could they say, hey, I do want to do this math, like would it be part of that as well.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, I was actually really surprised because I thought, okay, okay, there's only so much they can do, and with the language arts it was easy to embed that a little bit um but no, it's completely embedded even into the math, like adam, I was completely blown took four apples, yeah, yeah, of the tree yes, with the little ones it's kind of like that, but then even with my older kids, um, a lot of the curriculum would would bring math back to, basically, god created the earth, the earth this way, and this is why this works.
Speaker 2:
And I was completely blown away that they were able to even cause I cause. My feeble mind was like there's no way, there's no way this is going to be a Christian based math class, was like there's no way, there's no way this is going to be a Christian based math class. But it is, it very much is. And I remember even talking with other homeschooling moms. I was like, if you're looking for Christian based, this is the way to go, because they really do explain everything from a biblical worldview, and so I was really pleased with that part of it because I wasn't expecting it, but it is kind of what I wanted and I knew I wasn't going to be able to do it on my own. So, yeah, it really does.
Speaker 1:
Oh, that's cool, all right, well, awesome. That is good to know. Okay, so, coming from the teaching background, are there other things that, as you've been doing masterbooks with your kids, that you think, oh, I really like this approach to how it's teaching my children and I didn't see this in the school system, or vice versa? This could be done better, because I have had 20 years of teaching experience.
Speaker 2:
No, you know, honestly, um, it teaches the basics, but there's no agenda other than it being biblically based, um, and so that was what I wanted, so I've been pleased with that. Um, you know, as far as like, as far as like what I would teach, cause I taught language arts for so many years. It's pretty much the same stuff. It's the same content. You know I cause I thought the same. I thought, well, how am I going to, how am I going to teach this? But no, and it, and it breaks it down.
Speaker 2:
And one of my favorite things about the math especially but it does this in a lot of the other ones as well is that, like my daughter would have a lesson over, say, adding fractions, and then she would move on to something else a day or two later, or a lesson or two later, but every day during that unit and even into following units, she would still have review problems over over that.
Speaker 2:
And that's not to say that that doesn't happen in public school, because it might, depending on who the teacher.
Speaker 2:
But I know a lot of kids that are really struggling, especially in math, because they're taught something and the next day they're taught something different, and the next day they're taught something different and they just keep going before they've really mastered that first concept, and so that was important to me.
Speaker 2:
So, you know, even if it's something that I don't feel like she's got a real grasp on, there's a constant review as she goes through it, so that, um, she's constantly getting practice with the stuff that maybe she struggled with, and if she knows it, then I can just have her skip those problems. She doesn't have to do them. So, um, you know the content is real because, at least from my, my expertise, which was language arts, it's there, it's real, but it's a slow process, it's step by step and you can kind of work through it at your own pace, and I could even see a kid who's really good at a particular subject skipping through some of the lessons or even working through several lessons in one day, just depending on on the child okay, so you said it, it does all the subjects, but can we lay those out for what they kind of?
Speaker 1:
I mean? Obviously the math, the language arts. What about history, science and things like art?
Speaker 2:
yeah. So I seen there are some workbook based history and science courses Um, even the little ones, I think that, um, I actually ordered um on sale, um, some of the workbooks that for for for the younger kids, for history, and I think they're called my America, um something like that um, and so I haven't actually even gone and flipped through those yet because I don't have them. But I have looked at some of the previews online. So they do have some that are science and social studies based for even the little guys. But when it gets into high school there's lots of elective choices, so there's anatomy and physiology, but there's also earth sciences and things like that. So if you don't want to go through the traditional biology, chemistry, physics, then you've got other options which I really like, because I have a child who's probably college bound and then I have another child who's probably not college bound, and so we can kind of deviate from what what colleges want him to take versus and we can kind of gear it more towards him. So there's that. But then they also have music courses that are part of the masterclass academy, so there's like ukulele and piano and guitar and things like that, and then there's foreign language classes. Sign language is one and they have a couple different classes that you can take on it.
Speaker 2:
I'm not really sure about art. That's not something that I've paid that much attention to. They may have art, but I don't remember if I've seen that much attention to they may have art, but I don't remember if I've seen that one or not. We've done some art with our homeschool, but not a whole lot. Just because it's not something that my kids are really that interested in and when they do art they don't really want to. They don't really want to learn about artists or, you know, go through a lesson. They just want to create whatever they want to create. So I haven't done as much of that with them, but they may have that. There's a whole ton of stuff on the master, on the master books Academy, that, um, I haven't even really looked into all of it, I've just kind of looked at what I know I'm going to need.
Speaker 1:
Okay, all right. So in Kentucky, you guys, you don't have strict reporting requirements, right?
Speaker 2:
you don't have strict reporting requirements, right? No, we report um to our, our local school district, usually within the first couple weeks of school, and that's it, um. We just have to tell them these are my kids, they're schooling at this address, which is your home address, and you have to do that every year. But otherwise, that's it. We don't have to report grades, we don't have to do standardized tests, nothing like that, otherwise that's it.
Speaker 1:
We don't have to report grades. We don't have to do standardized tests, nothing like that. Okay, which, yeah, before, that kind of all blew over my head. And now that my son is going to be in first grade, I have to start reporting. And it's like a whole thing in New York Like this is what I intend to do with him for the year and then every. These are the you know the dates. I'm going to report what we did. And now they're like okay, here's your packet, fill all this out and give us back all this information. So now I'm kind of thinking of it in terms of that, like one of the things which uh was like you know, how are you teaching them?
Speaker 2:
uh, substance abuse, like information at age six, it's like um, kentucky actually has like a list of things that if if you look at the kentucky department of education website somewhere in there and I've done it before but they actually have a list of things that you're supposed to teach kids and it's not necessarily by grade, but it's like elementary. They need to be learning this each year and I think one of the things is like civics or you know certain things like that. But like with my son when he was little, kindergarten, first grade, even last year, I did not buy a social studies curriculum to teach him. I just we read like biographies about people and talked about them. Um, or I would read him things like these are who the community helpers are, and we would, you know, try to say, okay, this, where's the fire department in our in our town? Where's the sheriff's department in our town? Things like that. That's all civics. So I mean honestly, honestly, things like that that I could have taught him in a few lessons and then never looked at it again.
Speaker 2:
So I'm still meeting those requirements, but as far as like filling out paperwork and and giving the intention, and this is the curriculum I use in the state of Kentucky, it's actually illegal for them to even ask me that, and I'll'll tell parents that all the time. If they come and ask you to see the curriculum that you're using, they are stepping out of line and you don't have to show it to them. Now, if they ask to see grades or attendance, we do have to show that to them just to prove that we are actually doing it, but we don't have to show them anything else. So I keep up with grades and attendance, but no one has ever asked me for those things. So once I report at the beginning of the year, I'm pretty much home free until the next year when I have to report again.
Speaker 1:
Oh, that's awesome and that's kind of the. I just wrote a children's book. It's going to be published any day now and just self-published, but it's all about kind of the civics, like you were saying how to handle emergency situations, what a policeman does and how you know calling nine one one, how that is the police, the fire department. So I need to get that book. I know, maybe, oh, I'm looking for people to be my um, what do they call them? Uh, launch team, so maybe you could get even just the ebook for a couple bucks and write a review. Anybody listening, you guys too. I need a launch team. Quote unquote Well, that's.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, that's exactly what I would do with my daughter who's going to start kindergarten. We're just going to read books about that kind of thing anyway. So I mean, that's that's her curriculum, other curriculum other than you know, learning her letters and things.
Speaker 1:
So, yeah, that's that's actually a homeschool mom's dream, or books like that for for the littles are there any other things that stand out to you with masterbooks that, like you would really would want to recommend to people? Or did you just kind of fall on this and you were happy with it so you stuck with it? Do you see yourself using supplements at any point in time or just kind of like, like you said that, reading the books, you know, using the master books, and then just getting books like biographies, living books, I think it's what they kind of call them. Charlotte Mason calls them living books.
Speaker 2:
Right, yeah, I wouldn't even say that we're a Charlotte Mason family, necessarily, but I don't ever really claim that. But that's really what we do, um, for my elementary and even middle. Um, we do math, we have a curriculum and the we have a curriculum because I am not a math person and I need that. So that's why we do a curriculum. But even for my middle schooler, for language arts, right now I don't actually use this curriculum for him. I just have him read books. We read books together, and then I have him like write summaries of what he's read. And there, for a little while I did have him do some grammar curriculum, but he was pretty good at it and I didn't make him I didn't, you know, wasn't going to beat a dead horse. So I let him do it for a year and then I was like, okay, he's got a pretty good grasp on this. So now we're reading and he is my dyslexic child, so reading is the thing he needs to do the most. So that's what we do for language arts. We read, and then I have him know, tell me what happened, write a write a one paragraph summary of what happened with my youngest um son. Now, I did, I did purchase just because I got it at such a good price. I did purchase the social studies curriculum that I will probably use with my daughter at some point, but I would say that'll be another couple of years before I even start on that. With my son, that will be around third grade starting next month. He we will just pick back up with. So for social studies we read biographies and with him what I do is we read a chapter or we read a section, because the biographies are pretty simple. They're not super long, you know, just because of his age. So I will read that with him and then I have him write a sentence at the end of the day, like that or at the end of our section. This is what this one was about and by the end of the book he's got a summary of the book. That's his social studies. That's all we do. And so he's learned about lots of people. He learned about Babe Ruth. He's learned about Frederick Douglass. He's learned about tons of people I don't even remember Clara Barton he learned about last year. So he's learned about all these different people. Abraham Lincoln, and he just he just reads books and writes, writes a summary For science we have.
Speaker 2:
I have done a lot of like if I see something at a yard sale or a used bookstore or you know I do a lot of thrift books shopping. I'm on an app called Pango Books. Sometimes I'll buy things there If I just see something like. He's got a book right now that I'm going to start with him next month called All About Plants. There was a book company called Usborne I think the name is now Paper Pie or something like that. I used to was friends with the girl who sold those and so when she would have like a big sale, I would go in and buy a bunch of those. I think that's what this book is, and it's just about how plants grow. Well, I grow a big garden every summer, so we're going to learn about how plants grow and I'm going to have him plant something and get a fall harvest out of it and that's going to be his science for that. You know that part of the of the school year, so we don't really buy curriculum for science and social studies, at least until now.
Speaker 2:
My daughter, who is going to be in high school and, like I said, is very likely college bound, I want to make sure she's taking the courses that she needs to be accepted into college. I may not worry about that with my boys if they don't want to go to college. She's a little undecided, so I'm going to go ahead and set her on that path. So she's taking American history, she's taking biology, you know she's taking all of those things, and my suggestion with this particular curriculum is that if it is a subject that you don't feel super confident in is to go ahead and purchase the Masterbooks Academy class that goes with it. Most of those are anywhere from $15 to like $50 or $60. It just depends on the course and it depends on how many videos they have that go with the course. And again, it's an 18 month subscription so you can take your time using those.
Speaker 2:
And so I like, I like adding that for, like for algebra. I even told her that I would let her add it for all of her classes if she wanted, and she said oh, I'd rather you teach me um for language arts. Okay, so I've got the curriculum, but you know I'm a, I'm a language arts teacher, so I can do that Um, but even like, like the biology book. It's got a book and a teacher's edition and then I will buy the kit there's a kit that goes with it because she'll have to do a dissection and she'll have to do.
Speaker 2:
I went ahead and bought a microscope, which is something that you know. It's an investment, but it's something that we'll be able to use for years and years. So I bought that because I thought, you know, even if my son doesn't take biology like she is, we can still use the microscope to look at the soil when we, you know, or the pool water when we get it. You know things like that, so it's still a learning tool. So I would suggest, you know, for the littles, just do a reading and a language arts and a math curriculum and then you know you can supplement the rest. That's going to save you money. Libraries are free. Go to the library and check out books and then you know, depending on whether or not your child is college bound, then then adjust from there once they get to high school.
Speaker 1:
Oh, such good advice. Is there anything else you wanted to touch on with master books before we end the episode? You did such a great explanation of everything that they do.
Speaker 2:
I don't think so. I think you know it's colorful, it's user-friendly. So I like it because it's not bland. You know the pages are colorful, you know lots of good pictures and colors. I like that personally, just because it's a little more visually appealing. So for me that was important too. But no, I think you know that's pretty much it, and I just like that. They have a variety of things, especially as the kids age and go through different levels, that you can pick and choose from, and it's not just you know these four subjects and that's all you get.
