Beginnings K/5
BJUP has put together a foundational kindergarten program that covers phonics, language arts (handwriting, comprehension, composition), science, social studies, music, motor development, and art. All we need to add for a complete program are Bible and math.
Home School Teacher's Manuals make the program more practical for homeschoolers than classroom-designed manuals, although the program is still a formal academic approach to education. Teacher's Manuals come in two volumes.
Other components a student worktext, 32 slim readers, phonics response cards, phonics songs CD, phonics charts, teaching visuals, and flip charts. Components can be purchased separately, but the kit price is less than the cost of individual components. The Teacher's Manuals are the heart of the program, and it is most practical to use the entire program as laid out within those volumes.
See the review of Beginnings under "Phonics Programs" for more information about teaching methodology.Instant Key
