Question 1

What curriculum are you using for fourth grade homeschool in 2024-2025?

Accepted Answer

In this video I share my full fourth grade lineup across every subject. I’m using Saxon 5/4 for math, IEW Structure and Style Level 1 Year A for writing, McGraw Hill Grade 4 Science, and Harcourt States and Regions for social studies. I also include grammar, phonics, spelling, geography, religion, and a Friday logic pick.

Question 2

What math curriculum do you recommend for a fourth grader?

Accepted Answer

For fourth grade math, I’m using Saxon 5/4. It’s a steady, consistent program that works well for building skills over time. I also mention Nicole the Math Lady as a helpful supplement if you want extra teaching support alongside Saxon.

Question 3

How do you encourage independent learning in fourth grade homeschool?

Accepted Answer

By third grade, I start fostering more independent learning, and fourth grade is where I continue that on purpose. My picks reflect a self-taught/independent method, with workbooks and structured programs that let my child do more on their own. That doesn’t mean I’m hands-off—it just means our day runs smoother and they build ownership.

Question 4

What are you using for fourth grade writing?

Accepted Answer

For writing, I’m using IEW Structure and Style Level 1 Year A. I also mentioned Jady A. Writing Workshop as a resource for teaching writing basics. I like having clear structure, especially as my kids get older and I’m expecting more independence.

Question 5

What grammar curriculum are you using for fourth grade?

Accepted Answer

I’m using a combination for grammar: First Language Lessons by Susan Wise Bauer, Evan-Moor Language Fundamentals, and Daily Grams. I like having multiple touchpoints because it keeps grammar practice consistent without feeling overwhelming. These are easy to plug into a weekly plan.

Question 6

What religion curriculum are you using for homeschool?

Accepted Answer

For religion/catechesis, I’m using the Faith and Life series from TAN Books. I mention Grade 3 “Our Life With Jesus” and also Grade 4. It’s a solid, straightforward option that fits well into a homeschool routine.

Question 7

What do you use for phonics and spelling in fourth grade?

Accepted Answer

For phonics, I’m using Plaid Phonics Level D and Explode the Code 4 1/2 and 5. For spelling, I’m using Spelling You See Level D Americana. These are practical, open-and-go options that support the independent-learning direction I’m building.

Question 8

What logic or critical thinking do you do in your homeschool week?

Accepted Answer

I keep logic as a Friday subject, and I’m using Skill Sharpeners Critical Thinking Grade 3 by Evan-Moor. I like having it set on one day because it’s easy to remember and it rounds out the week. It’s also a nice way to practice thinking skills without adding pressure to the core days.
