Top Homeschooling Programs: A Comprehensive Guide to All-In-One, Math, Science & More

Manisha Snoyer walks through homeschooling programs across math, science, reading, coding, and more, breaking down what each does well and who it fits. The core idea: pick curricula that match your child's learning style and your family's values, not what's trendy.
Chapters
Hi everyone. I'm Manisha, the founder of Modulo. And today I'm going to walk you through some of my favorite homeschooling programs. A little bit about me. I was a teacher for 20 years. I've taught in public school, private school, as a private tutor in homeschooling to all ages, to children with all kinds of special needs, from profoundly gifted to children on the autism spectrum, to twice exceptional children, children with dyslexia, or all kinds of wonderful minds. And I've spent the last five years vetting homeschooling programs to see what works best for kids. And just to start, before we start, I really want to emphasize that children are so different in the way that they learn and families values for their education are so different. So what's really most important for your child's learning is that they love the curriculum that you choose. And it's always fine to switch it out, try something new. But what's most important is not much my opinion, but how your family resonates with the material. So I'm going to take you to the Modulo website where we have a directory of all my favorite programs. And so I'm going to just show you a few that I like. But you can always go to Modulo app allresources and take a look for yourself at programs in your child's grade. A subject that you're interested in, like an all in one curriculum, foreign language, science, or you can also search and we have in depth reviews on all the curriculum. So if you have a specific program in mind, you can also search for that program and then see what we have to say about it. So the first one of my favorite programs is Prodigy Game. Prodigy Game is a math program. I would say that even if you choose an all in one program, it's really good to have a math supplement. It's free, it's a game, it's online. I think Prodigy Game is a really great choice for parents who want to stick to state standards because you can align the standards with your state. And it's also a really good choice for kids who have low math confidence or as a supplement to your traditional program. But we love Prodigy. We love the founders. I've seen so many kids who had no math confidence start using Prodigy and just love it. A different type of math program is Right Start Math. What's great about Right Start Math is it's a physical curriculum. You don't have to use it online. They use. So it's very hands on and it's really A great choice for gifted kids or families who don't want screen time. It's just a beautiful, beautiful curriculum for Pre K through 8th grade. If your kid loves building with blocks or, you know, is it just kind of more of a physical learner, this is just a wonderful choice. Beast Academy has both an online and a comic books version. This is a fantastic math option for gifted learners. It's designed by founders who actually used to coach the Math Olympiad. And if you really want your child to kind of focus more on conceptual understanding versus just memorization for school, this is a wonderful option. Both Wright Start and Beast Academy are not designed to meet standards. They're designed for children to learn math well. And so that's a quality I really like. And it turns out that even though they're not designed for state standards, the students who do these programs tend to score incredibly well. But you know, if your child is gifted, I definitely would go with Beast Academy. If they do well with video games or videos, then the online version is a great choice. And if they love comic books reading stories, I would recommend the comic book version next. All right, first, all in one curriculum. Blossom and Root is just an absolutely lovely curriculum. I think more families than anyone have chosen this curriculum on modulo. It's nature based. So again, it's physical, it's hands on. If you're interested in your child really learning with nature, this is a great choice. It's really beautiful how Christina, she's a teacher who developed it, has been able to integrate nature into every single subject. You do need a math supplement with Blossom and Root. But if your child loves playing outdoors, if they love poetry, if they're an artist, this is a wonderful curriculum. I will say it's probably not as fast paced as some of the other curriculum. So if you want something a little bit more challenging, you might want something different than Blossom and Root. Wild Reading is another phenomenal nature based program. It's designed to teach children to read. The woman who created it really believes strongly that children should learn to read when they are five years old or later. She designed it for her own dyslexic child. It follows the science of reading. And you might not know this, but there's a huge debate around how children are supposed to learn reading. And this follows the science. So it's phonics based, it's systematic, it follows the order of phonics that scientists have discovered is best for learning. And it doesn't require any screen time. So if you want to learn foreign language, I mean, duolingo is the go to. I just checked, and Duolingo is actually the biggest education company in the world, which is crazy. So they're making billions off of teaching people, people, foreign languages. You know, Duolingo, I will say it's not immersion, which is kind of not ideal. And there's a lot of languages it still doesn't include. So I think that I would choose Duolingo if you're more interested in pairing an adaptive learning app with a teacher. Or maybe it could be a good choice if your child just kind of wants to appreciate a language and get interested, but you're not really hearing very much about fluency coding. Okay. So if you want your little kid to learn to code, Scratch Junior is just hands down the best place to start. It's free. It's just, it's its own coding language developed by mit and it's just such a fun place for preschoolers to learn how to code. And then when they get older, you can move on to more advanced activities. It says it's for ages 5 to 7, but I really think if your kid kind of gravitates towards videos or online activities, they can even start when they're younger. It's so much fun. And then as they get older, I would definitely move along to Scratch. You know, I. There's a lot of developers in the modulo community, people building AI, and just every single one of them recommends Scratch. Go to Scratch to start learning to code. We have a Scratch coding club on Module O which you can join if you're interested. But you can totally. This Scratch is free. I mean, you just cannot lose. There are tons of wonderful scratch tutorials on YouTube. It's just a gift to the world from these programmers at MIT who built it all. Right now I will have to say when parents come to me and say my child is gifted and they love it when I read them stories and they also love podcasts. I almost always recommend Torchlight curriculum, especially if you're looking for something that's not screen based. It's a literature based curriculum. It's really praised for having a wide variety of literature. It's challenging, it's engaging, it's open and go. If you have a kid who loves books and you just want to be secure in your all in one curriculum, Torchlight is beautiful. They have all these audio components so you can listen in your car. I don't know if you've heard of car schooling, but that's pretty fun. Again, when I say all in one, I mean ela. I mean English language arts, you know, like reading and writing and social studies and science, but it does not include math. So again, you know, I really think there are some math elements, but you really do need a supplement. And in general, I think that curriculum that's designed to be all in one, even if it does include math, the math is not that strong. And I just always encourage parents to choose something like Beast Academy, Wild Math, Prodigy Game Writing. Again, so if you love the adaptive learning apps, especially if your kids tend to engage well online, not all kids do. Some kids just don't really gravitate towards apps or apps kind of tire them out. Night Zookeeper is just an awesome, beautifully designed program. Even if your kid doesn't like writing, just the color for characters, the fact that it kind of knows where your child is, it's just a great fit. And if you're not sure that your kid will like this type of character, they also have a lot of great content on YouTube, so you can try it out. They have a homeschool special homeschool program. We really love Night Zookeeper for learning writing through an online platform. Okay, now, if you're looking for an open and go digital learning app for homeschooling, Brain Pop is the place. Their app is so much fun. It includes all the subjects. It's open and go. There's great, entertaining videos. It's beautifully designed. I think that if you just want to make sure you're covering all your bases, it's fun and eclectic, but it's also aligned with state standards. I mean, you just can't go wrong. Brain Pop homeschool is amazing. We also have Brain Pop Jr. For younger kids, and it's available in Spanish. I mean, how cool is that? Dinolingo. Okay, so if you don't want to do Duolingo and your child might be a little bit younger, Duolingo is a great immersive alternative to Duolingo. So I said that, you know, I used to be a French teacher, and Duolingo doesn't use an immersion approach. Dinolingo does use an immersion approach that's really effective for language learning. And they have so many languages that aren't available on Duolingo. Code Spark. Okay, so as we mentioned, Scratch is free. It's my favorite for starting to learn how to code. But Code Spark is a close second. A friend of mine, Grant, developed it. It's now owned by Homer, which is an early childhood app. And it's an. It's an awesome paid way for your kids to learn to code using an Adaptive learning app. Okay, now, this program, Homeschool Spanish Academy, is simply fantastic. What I love so much about Homeschool Spanish Academy is that they aren't just teaching Spanish really well with amazing instructors, but they have a social mission. All of the teachers they hire are from Guatemala. And so not only are you learning Spanish using an immersion approach, but you're also helping uplift people in Guatemala. And so it's just, it's such a beautiful program. I want to cry just thinking about the beautiful work that they're doing in the community. And, you know, how wonderful that your child can learn Spanish and also be supporting people and helping them do meaningful work and have more abundance in their lives. So high school families, we've covered a lot of stuff from K through 8, but I do want to give some good programs for high schoolers. So think well, if a family comes to me and says, I want my high schooler to learn math, to learn government, to learn economics, they're taking an AP course, think well is fantastic. There's an interview, a couple interviews I've done with Jasmine on my podcast. She's a high schooler who's been homeschooling. Brilliant. I mean, when you watch Jasmine, you just want to raise your child exactly like her because she's so kind and well spoken and articulate. And Jasmine is the one that turned me on to think well, homeschool. The instruction is fabulous. It's well designed, it's structured. It's just the best choice for high school math. My opinion, this one is a little bit of a wild card. Tinker. So Tinker teaches AI. Obviously they have gamified lessons. And if you're really trying to go far in your coding, it's just a really cool pick. You can just get your kids really learning all those skills for the future. I mean, machine learning, can you imagine your. Your 10 year old learning that? Pretty cool. Of course, a lot of kids also want to design video games, so this is a great pick. One of my favorite favorite programs. This program is so close to my heart. Curiosity Chronicles. We have done a lot of work vetting social studies and history curriculum, and it's not an EAS task. And here's why. There are so many different perspectives and viewpoints, and in the United States, we have tended to represent the viewpoint of one group. And a lot of parents want to learn about their group. They want to learn about black history. They want to learn about queer history. They want to learn about Irish history, Catholic history, Jewish history. They want to learn about Vietnamese American History. There are just so many stories in the US and then also there's so many stories around the world. Let's not forget it's not just people in the US who are homeschooling. We have homeschoolers in Australia. You know, in a lot of countries, homeschooling is banned, but that doesn't mean that people aren't doing independent study. And it can just be really hard to find a history curriculum that includes the experiences of women, that includes the experiences of minorities. On the other side, people sometimes feel like programs aren't representing their voice enough, that it's too much focused on minorities. Now, this is a whole hot, contentious topic that I don't want to go into, but because I don't want there to be a huge debate around this podcast about, you know, me and my perspective, what I really want to find in homeschooling curriculum, I'm going to be honest with you, is something that nurtures critical thinking in children. Inquiry based learning that shows them a broad perspective, that's teaching kids to think for themselves, that's satiating their own curiosity. And unfortunately, a lot of the curricula has a hidden agenda. It's not comprehensive, it's biased. I have no problem with a curriculum being biased and saying that it's biased. But, you know, you know, if a curriculum comes out and says, this is an Asian American history program, you know, no one is going to be annoyed. That is teaching Asian American history, which they shouldn't be, you know, but you know, when you are not really, you know, when you say this is a history curriculum and you don't include any black history, or you don't talk about slavery. I'm sorry, but you're not really saying what history is without going into a whole rant about that. Curiosity Chronicles is wonderful. It's comprehensive, it's well structured, it's accurate. The creator is so attuned to feedback. You know, it's interesting. I learned that it can be quite difficult to have every historical date be exact because the history is not exact. But Curiosity Chronicles does a really great job when it comes to accuracy. And it's also engaging. It's multimodal, which means you can digest this information in different ways. You can listen to the podcast, you can read and you can do activities, project based learning. And what's really lovely as well about this curriculum, I think, is that it's a story, so you're learning history, but it's through this narrative, and that makes it really compelling for children. So if you're looking for comprehensive, inclusive, secular history that is also really designed for children's developmental stages. This is a great choice. I know that sometimes parents are concerned about their children learning topics that feel painful or hard for them. And I think that, you know, on one hand, you don't want to shield kids from the truth, but on the other hand, you might not want to expose them to the full violence and gore that is our history. And I think that this author does a really good job at meeting children where they are developmentally. She's also a homeschool mom. Anyway, in this brief overview of history, I hope I didn't offend anybody. What I'm really trying to convey is what I personally am looking for in history programs which that it's, it's secular inclusive and it's fostering critical thinking. And if it does have a point of view, it's upfront and honest about that point of view. And I do feel that, you know, black history needs to be taught, Asian American history needs to be taught. Indigenous history needs to be taught as part of our experience. And, and that is my opinion. And that is part of how I vet programs on modulo science. Okay. If you want your kid to like science, you want something open and go that's aligned with state standards, Mystery science is the top choice. It's user friendly, it's clean. I find it a little bit too school standardy. It's not really as funky as I would like, but it works really well. And if you have a tutor, it's very easy for them to just kind of open the lessons. A babysitter can really lead this curriculum. It's so easy. Your kids can do it on their own. Honestly. Okay. If you want something a little more rich and meaty, Real science Odyssey is fantastic. Project based science learning, wonderful. It's from the founder of actually Secular Eclectic Academic Homeschoolers, which is one of the largest homeschooling Facebook groups. I love it. And she's just a brilliant curriculum designer. If you love project based learning, this is a really great choice. And they also have really wonderful environmental science. So if sustainability is a concern of yours, since you have kids, then you might want to check out some of her other curriculum. Lovely visual art curriculum is Drew's art Box. It's just fun arts and craft kits for kids with video lessons. Beautiful art. Okay, let's see some more here. I know this is a lot to take in and I really encourage you to go back and check individual categories because that's kind of a faster way to get through it all. And we also have a homeschool curriculum planner. You can try that. You can tell us about your children's needs and we'll just recommend a curriculum in two minutes. But I want to give you kind of a taste of what I love so you can see if my approach and philosophy resonates with you and then go back and use the curriculum planner for writing. Brave Writer is wonderful. Again, if your child has struggled with a traditional way of teaching writing, Brave Writer is just a beautiful program to open up their mind and heart and creativity and get them writing. It's one of the most popular homeschooling programs. The founder has a podcast and a book. Brave Learner. Julie is just, she's a wonderful person. I've interviewed her on my podcast and she just has this really innovative way of teaching writing and inspiring young writers. In addition to the curriculum, they also have classes. Definitely check it out. If you're looking for more of a nature based math program. Wild Math is designed by the same special education teacher who built Wild Reading. It's aligned with Common Core and and it's a lovely way to learn outside. If you want a hands on, engaging curriculum. Math Tango is so much fun. And if you want your child to do better in multiplication or arithmetic and you just want to hand them an app and there they go, do this one I have found near the end. Kind of it can get a little bit clunky because there's this thing where you have to find little monsters on the island. But in general it's just so fun. So good. I actually like to play it myself. Super fun. Okay. This guy, I don't know why, but he's just the most amazing teacher. You can watch him for free on YouTube. He is so much fun. This is called Math Antics. I just. If you want to learn Numeracy algebra, it's grades three through eight. He has a separate program that has kind of workshops to supplement the videos. But this is the most compelling, engaging math teacher I have ever seen. Time for Learning. So if you're a family who's looking for an all in one online homeschooling program or you just push a button, There it goes. Your kid learns. Done and done. Time for learning is your choice. I don't recommend it a ton because it is very much aligned with school standards and part of the mission of Modulo is kind of breaking free of those school standards and thinking about what does my child need to learn and how do I meet their full potential since I have this luxury of one on one learning or with siblings, one on three or one on four. But time for learning is a great solution if you just want to have that confidence that they're staying on track with school and you want to make it easy for yourself. It's also adaptive, it's fun, it's amazing, it's secular. You can't go wrong if you care a lot about state standards. But I would just say I encourage you to step outside the box a little bit because school standards are designed for millions of kids to reach a mid level. And it's possible that your child can go much, much further than just these school standards. Curiosity untamed is okay. Life skills. A lot of parents care about this. How do you teach your kid to cook, to clean, to take out the trash? If your kid responds well to extrinsic rewards, this is just such a fun system that will help them thrive. You know, it's kind of just inspired by girl scouts and boy Scouts and great way to help your kid kind of start helping around the house, which will help you too. Oh, okay. Now, I know not everyone here is in New York City. I hope you're not all in New York City, but I just, I really wanted to include a homeschool co op here because homeschool co ops are just so much the heart and soul of homeschooling. If you haven't heard of a homeschool co op before, it's a place where families can come take classes. They can drop their kid off for a day. Sometimes families volunteer or teach classes. Brooklyn Apple is one of the first homeschool co ops in Brooklyn. It's run by this beautiful teaching artist. They have a wood shop. There's one day where they just go on different field trips all around New York City. And so I really hope that your child gets the opportunity to participate in a homeschool co op. And I know this was one in New York. We're kind of starting to develop more of a guide to homeschooling co ops, but we already know about a lot of them, even though they're not on modulo. So if you're curious and you want to find a homeschool co op near you, feel free to reach out and we can help with that. It's also pretty easy if you're part of a local homeschooling Facebook group or meetup group to just ask around and see if there's a homeschool co op. But we love Brooklyn Apple. And if you're thinking about starting your own Homeschool Co op. It's a great model to look at. Now we talked a little bit about Real Science Odyssey for Science Project Based Learning Building foundations of Scientific understanding is another really great hands on science program. I would say the difference between Real Science Odyssey and BFSU and people might disagree is that it seems like BFSU is a little more in depth and challenging and requires a lot of prep on the part of the parents. And if you have that time, it's amazing. But I would also say sometimes kids who are really gifted and just love science, science is their favorite subject. I think the BFSU is the science program to choose. It's really great for those kids who are just naturally talented and excited about everything science. Now, no homeschooling guide would be complete without mentioning teach your child to read in 100 easy lessons. It gets the job done. I mean it's 100 lessons. You do one a day. @ the end, your kid knows how to read. It's based on the science of reading, it's systematic. Only problem is it's kind of boring. And so you really have to have a kid who's that kind of who's just willing to sit for 15 minutes and learn a reading lesson. Either because they're concentrated, they enjoy being around you, or they really want to know how to read. And you know, if you need something a little more fun and engaging, I definitely go with Wild Reading or Homer or another program like that. Homer. Perfect timing. So Homer is an adaptive learning app. It's toddler through second grade. If you want your kids to learn how to read, it's super fun. It also has early math. And I would say that in general, toddlers do not do very well with adaptive learning apps. But Homer is one of the few apps I've seen that even really little kids can get engaged. And it's just a super fun, super effective early learning app. In fact, probably the only one I've seen that even doesn't have a lot of bugs for teaching kids how to read. Now if you are using an app, your kid can use it on their own, but I feel like it's much more effective if they use it with you and you can engage and ask them questions or even with a caregiver or a tutor. But Homer is such a great choice for preschool. Another life skills book I love. I don't know why, but I just think the title of this book is so funny. I How to be a Person. I think that so many of us ask ourselves that question every day. How? Like how Am I supposed to be a person? And here it is. This is how to be a person. So you might want to read this yourself and then give it to your child or, or whatever. So you know, we mentioned Curiosity Untamed. It's really fun badge system, but this is just kind of a guide how to do it. If your kid loves to read, this will teach them how to vacuum. And you should not hesitate to ask them to help you around the house. For learning piano, Simply Piano. I think it's really the only app that's good for learning piano. I would try it. A fun one for online piano lessons is Hoffman Academy. It's difficult to teach piano online and perhaps not ideal, but if you're not trying to raise kind of a future virtuoso in piano, this is a perfectly good option. And I think they're one of the few programs that does online piano lessons. Well, another kind of a weird one. Chrome Music Lab. This is a free tool designed by Google where kids can kind of play around with music theory. I can't even really describe it, it's so weird. But homeschoolers just love it. So if you kind of want to give your kids an appreciation for rhythm, music composition, music theory, just try it. It's free. You have nothing to lose. If they love it, great. If not, whatever. It's. It's weird. It's wonderful. It belonged on Modulo, another foreign language one. Mango Languages. I would say compared to Duolingo, unfortunately it's paid, not free, but they have more languages. It's a little bit better designed in terms of language learning and it's just a great tool. So if you can afford it, I would go there before I would go to Duolingo. If you're looking for one on one tutoring, Italki is known to have the best one on one tutors for language learning. We also have tutors on Modulo. So just putting that in there and they're trained for homeschooling. Now Home science tools. I would have to say this is something that every homeschooler needs. So it's all grades and basically if you need to dissect an eyeball of a cow, you can get it on home science tools. So every single lab thing that you might ever need that you can't get because you're not in a traditional school, you can get at home. Science tools. You can just dissect a frog. I mean, this is kind of creepy to me because I'm a vegetarian, but you can also get other stuff that you can use for science. I will say, because we do try to keep materials secular on modulo, this program has both secular and some religious materials, but they're very transparent about what's secular and what's not. And they just have really high quality science kits. Curriculum materials for your homeschool science lab. I think you just. You just need it. Another life skills. I don't know why I'm including so many life skills here, but homeschool parents seem to care a lot about this. And actually a lot of homeschoolers are very mature. And, you know, we, we just did a podcast about getting into college, and a lot of the homeschoolers were surprised that when they got to college, their peers did not know how to do laundry or have basic life skills. But they did. And this is the book for you as a parent. If you feel like you don't have life skills catching up, you can also give it to your teen. Learn to brush your teeth, balance the budget, open a bank account, vacuum whatever you need. Tie a tie. I don't know how to do that. Okay. I think Deep Space Sparkle is probably the most popular art program for homeschoolers. Easy to use art lessons from a teacher. It's enriching, it's engaging. Just a beautiful choice. Oak Meadow. Now, similar to Time for Learning, I would say that Oak Meadow is a little bit more designed for school standards. But what's special about it is that it is project based and nature based. So if you want more of that Waldorf inspired be in nature, but you also want that comfort of school standards, this is a great way to go. They both. They have a curriculum and an online school. Oh, my goodness. You know, I love so many programs and there are so many programs here that I didn't include, so. Oh, my gosh, it's just so hard to choose when there are so many beautifully designed homeschool programs. If you're interested in curating your own homeschooling curriculum, Teachers pay teachers. Why not? It is. If you haven't heard of it, it's kind of also an essential in homeschooling. So basically, teachers all over the world can create curriculum and upload it here and sell it. And there's a lot of free stuff too. So if you want to find free curriculum, you can just sort by. Free can sort by grade, by subject and just find lots of amazing activities and curriculum. See how they're rated. This was created by a teacher. It's customizable. So if you're kind of excited and Inspired to customize your own curriculum. This is a really fantastic resource for you. BrainQuest. I had to include Brain Quest because it's just, it's for a certain type of learner. If your kid loves quizzes, they love card games. You can do their whole curriculum in this nice little card deck. I mean, I would say it's more trivia and quizzes than a really dense, rich curriculum, but you can use it as your full curriculum just to make sure your kid knows all the facts. Khan Academy Kids, another favorite. If you're looking for an adaptive learning app for your younger kids, I actually prefer Khan Academy Kids to Khan Academy. I think it's a lot more fun, a lot more engaging, a lot better designed. I think Khan Academy kind of gets the job done, but it's a little boring. But this one is just so fun. And they keep adding age groups too. So you want a free adaptive learning app. I would say Khan Academy Kids is great if you're willing to pay a little bit. I think I like Homer or Brain Pop Jr. A tad better. But this one is really awesome. And if your kid enjoys it, why not ever more? If you're looking for an open and go all in one homeschooling curriculum that's secular and your child prefers workbooks, this is the best workbooks curriculum. You know, the other one's Torchlight. It's literature based and we have the nature based, blossom and Root. But this one is really great for kids who do well with workbooks. It's. It's awesome. If you love YouTube, this is a little bit for older kids, but Crash course is just, it's just a phenomenally designed course that, you know, you can go and learn history and social studies and all kinds economics, everything you need. The teachers are amazing. I think it's an indispensable resource for older homeschoolers and also for people like me who missed some stuff in school and want to brush up on those topics. I really encourage you to learn with your child. And if there's a subject that they're interested or you're interested in, you can go together and watch a video and discuss it or maybe even make a club around a certain playlist. It's. It's just an amazing YouTube channel. Civics iCivics Wild. It's a video game to learn civics. It's free for middle school. I don't think I need to say anymore. It's just awesome. Digital inquiry group. Okay, so if you want a really comprehensive tool to teach critical thinking, to teach World History Digital Inquiry Group is incredible. It used to be the Stanford History Education Project, but now it's Digital Inquiry Group and they have a separate program on digital literacy. I recently discovered it. It's fantastic. I know that for some people, some of the history curriculum might feel like it's representing a certain point of view. For example, Zinn Education Project I love, but it's very social justice focused. And Digital Inquiry Group is much more inquiry based focused. So they're really trying to teach a certain way of looking at history that is focused on asking questions more than giving answers and to teach those necessary historical skills. But this is so comprehensive, so well designed, so free. I mean, love it. Blossom and Root River Voices. Okay, so here we have a different. Another approach to history. So Blossom and Root. River Voices is obviously the same people who created Blossom and Root, the nature based curriculum I told you about. And it's really an amazing program for learning about US History. It is unique in that it does share the experiences of marginalized people. And what I have discovered in my homeschooling groups is that many, many families are frustrated by the way most history programs teach US History. And Blossom Roots River Voices is the only one they actually feel good about and that it's secular, it's accurate, it's engaging, it's comprehensive. Another thing that's cool is that it has different levels. So the most gentle to more to less gentle, I guess. So if your child is highly sensitive, you can choose the more gentle approach so you don't have to expose them to as many difficult truths. And that's a tough choice you need to make as a parent. You know, where is the line between, you know, my child learning things that they might need to know, even if it's uncomfortable to this is going to be too much and traumatize my child at this particular age. And that's not something I can tell you. It's something you have to make a choice for yourself. But if it's important for you to learn about Black history, to learn about slavery, to have a more comprehensive view of US History, I highly recommend this program. Also, Christina has a whole board of people who recommend, who represent different perspectives, who are constantly adding literature to this curriculum. It is a literature based curriculum, so it recommends different books you can choose to learn about these topics. And that's my last recommendation for today. Oh, my goodness. I gave you so many recommendations of homeschooling programs and I really hope you don't feel overwhelmed. I just want to give you exposure to the breadth and depth and wonder of what's out there. But again, you can go on Modulo and kind of dig into a different category such as science and see the different science options available. Or you could check out history and see what's available there. And also, you know, most homeschoolers just start with an all in one or an English language arts curriculum and a math curriculum. So if you just want to kind of say, all right, I just want to get started on the right foot, a layer on other stuff later you can go to our free curriculum planner and there all you have to do is just answer a couple questions about your child's age, what they're, you know, what they're interested in learning. And you can also search by curriculum here. Core curriculum arts, English Language arts. So those are some resources for you. I hope that this has been informative and if you ever have questions you can always contact us via the modulo website or go to modulo app all resources and search by category. Thanks so much for listening to this guide to homeschooling.
