The Three R's

I am duly impressed with the short, concise way Ms. Beechick has explained the "mystery" of teaching the 3 R's to young children. While educators would have us to believe that it is a secret, Ms. Beechick explains in short pamphlets no less how to do it and do it painlessly. I especially like how in the arithmetic book, she describes what and how to teach a child in the first through third grades. I am sure that now that I have begun teaching my son at home, I will use these little books quite often.

The great thing about these little (28-30 pages) guides is that they truly give you all you need to start successfully homeschooling your K-3rd Grader in 3 core areas: reading, Language (Grammar) and Math. They are jammed packed with details and wonderful "how-tos", not rhetoric. I imagine that you can design a whole year's curriculum with just this packet, and a collection of very good books. Do yourself a favor, ditch the urge to buy those expensive curriculums with bells and whistles. Buy this first. I just wish I found this series BEFORE I spent hundreds of dollars on buying and selling things I didn't want or need. When you have finished this, I suggest you read Beechick's You Can Teach Your Child Successfully for more wisdom on schooling 4th-8th Grade.Enjoy.

If I'd discovered these three little books years ago, I'd have saved hundreds of dollars on bells and whistles curruculum items. These books are enough to teach "The 3R's" for the first few grades of school. Excellent, containing much wisdom.

Short, simple, easy to use, user-friendly, to the point. Everything I've ever wanted in early elementary education for my children. The perfect introduction to reading, writing and math. Uses simple techniques and inexpensive objects found around the house. Not a full curriculum for ALL school subjects by any means, but an excellent method for getting your children off to a great start in the 3R's. And the price is definitely right on the money! :-)
