This year I’m sharing my 4th grade homeschool curriculum picks for 2026–2027, and I’m focusing on the pieces that really make our days run smoothly—math, language arts, and the extra skill-building that supports both. I walk you through what I’m planning to use, why I chose it, and how it fits into a simple, doable homeschool rhythm (because I’m always trying to keep things effective without making it complicated). For math, I’m using Math with Confidence 4 because I like a program that’s clear, steady, and parent-friendly. For language arts, I’m pulling together a Charlotte Mason–leaning mix: Hearth & Story LA as a core, plus gentle grammar and spelling with Beowulf’s Grammar and The Modern Speller Book 1. I also share the read-alouds and literature I’m planning—The Lost Library, The Umbrella Maker’s Son, Charlotte’s Web, and The Last Last Day of Summer—along with skills like typing (Typing.com), logic/critical thinking (Mind Benders Level 4), and word work (Daily Word Ladders). If you’re planning 4th grade and want a balanced, living-books-friendly plan, this lineup should give you lots of ideas.
