Action Alert Review
I love technology. My husband loves technology. Most of my children love technology. I don’t even want to admit how many computers we own. I love the quick access to information. I love the ability to communicate with people on-line. But I recognize that the internet is a dangerous place. It requires much wisdom and…
Progeny Press – Across Five Aprils Review
I’ve always loved to read, but the study of literature has never been easy for me. I think a lot of that is because I was never really taught how to analyze literature in school. I remember studying the basics like characters and plot, but finding the theme is still a difficult task for me.…

R.E.A.L. Homeschool Spanish Review
As classical educators, we’ve invested a lot of our school-time studying Latin. There are many reasons why we’ve chosen Latin as our primary language to study, but we’ve always planned on adding Spanish to our curriculum later. (We did introduce some Spanish early with programs like Jump Start Spanish. And my younger daughter is completely…
