Read Cathy Duffy's complete review of the The Gold Book Series
As a busy homeschool mom, I like that I don’t need to do much planning to prepare for the course. The lessons are all numbered and ready to go. The books are easy to find, and the tests are already prepared. There’s very little prep work that I need to do, which is so helpful when I have two younger children to homeschool as well.

It took time and experimentation, but we finally stumbled across Learning Language Arts Through Literature after four years of bad-for-us curriculum choices. Since then, it’s been a reliable part of our homeschool days and it’s made all the difference in how I teach language arts and how my kids are experiencing it.
