Top of the Pack Crew Reviews

November 27, 2018 By Annette1 6 Comments

Click here to go to my disclosure policy.

Over the past year I have reviewed 18 products for the Homeschool Review Crew.  I don’t review a whole lot for the crew (some have reviewed some 50 products!!!)  but I live in Canada and only have one child.  🙂  I’ve also learned to be a bit picky.  There are the odd products that I want but don’t really need so am happy enough to let others have first dibs at them.   There are usually four or so that I REALLY WANT but can’t get because I don’t live stateside. It’s part of being part of a State side crew though eh?  Here are my top of the pack, our blue ribbon winners!

Anyways, I just thought I would talk a bit about my son and I’s favourite reviews and link to others that we had an appreciation for.

Blue Ribbon Winners Crew Review

My son’s top reviews

Drive through history. It wasn’t stale, Dave is interesting to listen to.  It was interesting that he actually travelled to places so you could see real pictures of everything.

Drive Through History Adventures

Code for teens: they put together well, I like how they formatted it together.  I’ve learned a lot and I find it interesting to learn coding.

Code for Teens

My Favourites

Drive through History. I liked this program because Dave is funny without being an idiot. He walks you through different places and gives small ancedotes about where you are as well as giving a good history lesson. He connects scripture and art into history seamlessly. The worksheets are just an added bonus.  We still watch episodes weekly.

Home School in the Woods and also the game that we received. Why do I like them? It will make our study of world war 2 much easier. Less material to look up, built in hands on projects to keep a lad intrigued. YET not so formatted we can’t expand the learning as desired.

Home School in the Woods

Contenders:

Silverdale Press: this is a high school level course that teaches rhetoric and the art of persuasive speech.  We really liked how it was set up but the work load was a bit beyond what my lad was up for.  We are using the reading speeches and talking about them as part of our World War Studies.

Silverdale Press

Nature Glo Math-Art: The way the Glo runs her course clicked with my lad.  It was so much fun watching him dig in her math/art/science/history courses.  The conversations we had about the things he was learning filled me with delight.  If you have an ecletic learner I urge you to check out her e-science courses.

Picta-Dicta.  My son is actually annoyed with me that I keep forgetting to do this flashcard Latin learning app. He faithfullly works on it and is making great progress.  I can see getting another in the series for him to follow up with. 

Picta Dicta Natural World

CursiveLogic. This is a handwriting course that my son took a firm liking to.  He has plans to follow up with how to do capital letters once our lives stop being quite so busy. He’s worked at them off and on but wants to gain more confidence in writing them. He very much likes how they do this course.

CursiveLogic

Books of the Bible. Laid out in a straight-forward manner, each book of the bible is presented in a clear format. Verses and stories for each book of the bible.

Teach Sunday School, Books of the bible at-a-glance

I urge you to check out what reviews were favourites for other members of the crew.  We each have our own and for our own reasons.  Who knows, you might find your next favourite resource waiting for you.  🙂 See the other top posts here.

    I see some of our favorites here, too. Drive Thru History, Home School In The Woods, Picta Dicta – we loved those, too!

      They are good programs, I hope our efforts have helped other people consider them.

    Some of our favorites are listed here, too. My 5-year-old son keeps asking about when we are going to work on Latin – I just never seem to have enough time to devote to it for him. And since he is only five, I am not overly worried about him learning Latin, you know? But it is a great program for him (we are learning natural world vocab).

    Thanks for sharing! I’ve never read up on what it’s like homeschooling in Canada. What relations/freedoms do you have up there?
