Home Learning Year by Year, Revised and Updated: How to Design a Creative and Comprehensive Homeschool Curriculum

I wished there was a book like this, then I learned about Home Learning Year by Year. It’s a fantastic reference for anyone planning to homeschool, and I really like the way the book is organized. It’s one of my favorite recent book purchases, and it will be used over and over!

I bought the used version and it was highlighted in some areas of the book. It is great and so helpful!!

This is definitely a must have for a homeschooling parent as it literally breaks every grade down for you and tells you exactly what your child should know. I am so glad I saw a friend recommend this book as I will also be recommending it to everyone I know.

I just started homeschooling my little ones last year. My oldest were ready to start kindergarten this upcoming fall and I felt lost on where I should start on her learning subjects. A homeschooler mom suggested this book. I thought why not buy it and see what it has to offer.So glad I did! The information in there is extremely valuable and beneficial for parents who want to be sure their children are getting a proper education with the best resources and tools available. Recommend!

The book itself is fantastic, but the spiral binding was haphazard and some pages were already damaged as a result. For so much extra $, it would be nice to have had better quality control. I like spiral bound for books like this so I can lay it flat while I take notes, but if I were to purchase again, I'd just get regular binding.

I want to hug this book. I am a certified elementary school teacher just switching to homeschooling my kids (K & 2nd grades). Despite having taught in a project-based, independent-school classroom for 7 years and feeling really comfortable understanding learning standards for the grades I've taught, I still have the worry: how do I do this with my OWN kids? This book lays out the learning expectations by grade in clear, concise sections by grade and subject, but not in a prescribed way. It focuses on learner questions and offers many, many ideas for project-based learning across subjects and grade level, so it's also helpful if you're teaching multiple learners. For example, in the photos above, learning about weight and volume meant, for them, reading a book about how to weigh an elephant, and experimenting with displacement in water. It also offers rich lists of book, project, and online resources for immersion into the different subjects. Many of the books and resources I've used to integrate a global, science-based understanding of the world in my own classroom over the years appear here, so I trust that it has great ideas for the other grade levels, as well! Please note that the elementary years are presented in much more detail than high school.

This book took all the hours out of surfing the internet and put everything at your fingertips. This book put all the information in an organized, easy to follow guide. It does not write the lesson plans for you of course but gave me MUCH more confidence and direction in making my own. ABSOLUTELY love it!

Buy this book. If you’re homeschooling, new to homeschooling or even just thinking about it do yourself a favor and buy this book. It’s worth the money to have such a great resource for info and when you’re feeling stuck, unsure or just need a little extra help. I was feeling so unsure and insecure about starting our homeschool journey until I read this. You won’t regret having this on your shelf when you want some guidance on curriculum and progress.

For homeschools that would copy a school house theme.

The book is incredible, it is very complete and a great help.

This book is titled home learning which doesn’t just mean homeschoolers! I love this book it’s like an educational bible. It’s great for homeschoolers and anyone who is interested in where their child should be at... with lots of facts ideas and Rebecca rupps own home school diary eateries included. There’s heaps of book lists and covers preschool right up until leaving school!
