In this video I’m walking you through every single language arts curriculum we’ve used from homeschool kindergarten all the way into the middle school years—what worked for us, what didn’t, and (most importantly) why. When I say “language arts,” I’m talking about the whole picture: reading and phonics, handwriting, spelling, grammar, writing, and literature study. I share my likes and dislikes for each program so you can get a realistic feel for how these resources function in day-to-day homeschool life. I start with The Good and the Beautiful (Pre-K/K language arts, phonics, handwriting, and lower elementary) and then move into several well-known picks from The Well-Trained Mind world like Ordinary Parent’s Guide to Teaching Reading, First Language Lessons, Writing With Ease, Writing With Skill, and The Creative Writer. I also cover skills-based staples like Spelling Workout, Wordly Wise, and Reading Detective, plus a few of our literature selections and read-aloud favorites. If you’re trying to compare programs across different homeschool styles—especially Classical and Charlotte Mason leaning—this is meant to give you a clear, practical overview to help you plan your next year with more confidence.
