I absolutely love this curriculum! As a former homeschooler myself, I knew I wanted to homeschool my own kids. My oldest is 3, and I wanted something that would grab his attention and keep him engaged, and this does just that! He loves all of the hands on activities, and is excited to โdo schoolโ. Iโm so thankful I stumbled upon this curriculum and I highly recommend it!
I absolutely LOVE The Little Red Schoolhouse curriculum! We have been using it at our childcare center, and the children are loving it just as much as I am. They are engaged, excited to learn, and they actually keep asking for more! As a childcare owner/director, finding curriculum that keeps young children interested and wanting to participate is huge for me. I love the hands-on, kid-friendly approach and how excited the children get about each new lesson. We are so happy we found The Little Red Schoolhouse and canโt wait to continue using it!
Such a wonderful and engaging curriculum for littles. My 4 year old daughter is obsessed!! Will definitely be sharing with all my rural homeschooling mom friends!
We found the book beautifully illustrated with images that captured our young readers attention. We love the book vibrant colors and early sight words to begin learning.
This is an amazing curriculum!
This year I've been blessed with homeschooling my grandchildren (preK) and being a homesteader, I couldn't have found a better tool.
Everything needed is included (sans the actual materials i.e. paint, hole punch, etc), it's easy to follow, easy to use, and both caretaker and child friendly.
As a former (KinderCare) preschool teacher, I can honestly say this is an outstanding program for the little ones.
The books are so well put together and very attractive! I got the books for my grandson but I found them so intriguing I had to look through and read them myself ! ๐. Highly recommend !
This book is beautiful, very high quality. I love how they took the time to create beautiful illustrations but kept the words on each page simple and large and easy to read. My granddaughter wears glasses and some of the books, Iโve purchased have the words so small itโs impossible to read them. The layout of each page was well thought out and pulls kids in with the pictures and then they can read the words little by little. Itโs one of the best books Iโve ever bought and Iโve bought hundreds of books.
Arrived quickly and well packaged. The book is high quality and I love the illustrations. The two year old that got the book enjoys looking at the pictures and the simple, but engaging, stories will help him as he learns to read later on.
We love the complete set. We are farmers and I homeschool. My son is in kindergarten and I wanted to get him something he was interested in. He loves it!
Very cute book. We farm and I thought this would be a great start to homeschooling my 5 year old. She knows some things already in this book, but others things are new to her. Love the layout and instructions for parents. Please do more for next grades up if possible!
Beautiful illustrations and simple language that my grandson will be able to read. The illustrations were so detailed and large on my phone that I expected the book to be larger, but you probably put the size and I scrolled on by. I also wish the sentences were in lowercase rather than caps, but that's a personal preference. I am excited about giving him the book for his birthday in a couple weeks!
I have a social media account dedicated to entirely different content but when I opened this curriculum I was so blown away I had to feature this in my video! What a beautifully illustrated and well rounded learning tool! This will be the core focus of my son's educational journey at home!
We truly love this book! My daughter has several learning disabilities and we have been desperately searching for books that arenโt baby-ish and still possible for her to read. She read over half of it in the first sitting. The book is essentially about her life. She has chickens that our Pyrenees protects from coyotes. There are mice in the barn and horses to be fed and ridden here. I would love to order more books from you!
My grandchildren have lots of beginning reader books already but I couldnโt resist getting them this one because of the beautiful artwork. The 6 yr old was reading it to the 4 yr old and they were both poring over the illustrations. It is just a lovely book!
If you are new to farm life, you are in good company. Each lesson gives you everything you need to guide your child. And if you are anything like us, you might find a few quiet lessons for your own heart tucked in among the farm truths.
What age is this for?
Kiddos ages 4 to 6 will get the most out of these books, but if you have a curious three-year-old by your side, you can enjoy them as an activity book with a little extra help from you.
What about educational standards?
No problem, we've got you covered. We wrote this book to meet California state standards for early childhood education.
What if I don't homeschool my children?
Our tracing book and little farmer reader are great additions to your home. Use these as workbooks and reading resources. Ask your school about including Chickens on the Farm in their curriculum options.
Is this a faith-based curriculum?
Yes and no. We specifically designed this book to be available for public school programs and for parents to purchase with public funding. Agriculture is a deeply spiritual subject. If you're looking to discuss faith with your kids, you'll find that most concepts can be used as parables. For those looking to discuss faith, use our emotional intelligence call-outs to discuss spiritual topics.
How do I know it will work?
We offer a free sample download, so you can see if your child connects with our materials. After purchase if it does not feel right, just send the materials back within 20 days, and we will gladly refund you.
