 Hey you guys, my name is Brittany and welcome back to my YouTube channel. You guys in today's video I am going to share with you all of my homeschooling workbooks that I have loved and enjoyed over The years so you guys we are in curriculum season. It is here It is upon us and I've already shared my fifth and my pre-k curriculum Videos are ready for you on my channel. So if you want to watch those, I will link those down below However, I still feel like it's important to highlight Some of those workbooks that I do pull out and I use as far as supplements and just like workbooks that I just love Having on hand. So I have a big stack you guys Right here of all of my favorite workbooks that I want to share with you guys I'm actually going to share the workbooks with you guys from my younger grades all the way up I was really inspired to make this video after watching Rachel from seven and all share homeschooling workbook video and Because we are on curriculum season I just definitely wanted to share these resources with you guys because I don't solely rely on my Curriculum to give me everything that I need sometimes Especially if you have an area that's a little bit weaker for your student or an area that you know that You're not going to do as much picking up workbooks like these are great opportunities to still Be advancing and learning in those particular subjects So let's go ahead and start off with like my favorite pre-school pre-k workbooks that I have had experience with that I know I'm going to use again with my younger daughter So lay as my middle daughter she is for and right now these are her favorite workbooks Which are these huge Melissa and Doug activity pads. So I have the alphabet activity pad I have the numbers activity pad We're actually like halfway through the finish in this one and we have completely finished this one Which is the colors and shape activity pad. So I got this whole set you guys on sale for I think $13 I'm not too sure what the price is right now on Amazon, but these huge activity pads They're filled with like stickers and it's opportunities for your kiddos the color if they like the color They have tracing and you know, they're so much fun and she loves these. I don't even have to tell her Oh, yeah, come on late. Let's do preschool. She will pull these off of her preschool cart and say mommy come on I'm ready to do school. So these have definitely been like a win as far as like pre-school Workbook supplemental type of practice sheets for my kiddos. So she's really enjoyed these Some other ones that Leia has enjoyed has been the JDA series you guys We are actually still working on this JDA series. I have the preschool writing I have the preschool literacy and I also have the preschool math and you guys these workbooks are just simple black and white Workbooks that she can just go on as she's learning all of these different skills Um, I actually have both the PDF and the physical copies of these Worksheets just because I wanted her to have an opportunity to do them more than once and again I do have a younger kiddo coming up that I can use these JDA workbooks for Like I said before they are black and white Simple workbooks, but because both of my girls love the color seeing things in black and white is the opportunity for them to You know color a little bit more use their markers and crayons and everything like that So I really have been enjoying in the JDA series Especially this preschool literacy series because it really has helped her out a lot with like recognizing those uppercase and lowercase letters Recognizing the start and the ending sounds so these have been really fun So this is actually going to be our second time going through the preschool literacy Book, but um, you guys is definitely has been a great supplement easy fast. I love these workbooks for the preschool age Now let's go ahead and get on into Workbooks that I have been using for Brielle Um, I have been using workbooks with Brielle you guys ever since she has been in public school She has been in public school from K through second half of second And every summer I will always grab a workbook for us to work on throughout the summer One of my favorite workbooks to use. I actually don't have it right now Has been brain quest. I have used brain quest K through three with her and they have been so much fun I love the color in brain quest workbooks. Um, I love that. They're always so affordable I mean you guys I was picking those workbooks up from like Target or Costco's for like five bucks and Even throughout the school year I was pulling out pages within the workbooks using with Brielle, especially for like the math and things like that Um, I never wanted her to be behind when she was in school within math or reading Those are like the two areas that I would primary focus on when we were working on those workbooks this summer But I love brain quest workbooks. Um, my second favorite workbooks for Brielle has been Scholastics and I have a lot of these scholastic workbooks. You guys I actually taught Brielle multiplication and division by using this cheapy $3 Scholastic workbooks. So the ones that I have that are my favorite are the reading test and I use these right here for Reading comprehension for her. So we have completed four. We're almost completed with five and we're going to be using the workbook for the reading test in Next school year for her. So I love these you guys. They're so simple. Um, she's just doing like a simple Reading comprehension skills using these. These are just quick and easy. I typically give her one test on Friday with these So, um, they're really really simple She gets the chance to go over a vocabulary and she gets the chance to go over different styles of Um writing where she has to do the comprehension So sometimes they give her like a letter and she has to answer comprehension questions Sometimes it could be math skills or history. So I really love these simple reading tests. Um, again, I usually do these on Fridays and They have been very effective in getting her prepared for standardized testing. I live in a city, Georgia I have to test my daughter. I'm not going to lie you guys I really wish I lived in a state where I didn't have to test but I mean it is what it is Um, but uh, we do standardized testing and this is just an easy way for me to prep her and prepare her for it. So, um, These oh my gosh, you guys, I love them and they're typically like 399 599 Another one of the scholastic workbooks that I really loved and I've used these for her third and For the summertime we use these we started using the writing one during our school year But we put it down But my favorite one has been this grammar workbook You guys I love how it takes one part of speech and you go over it throughout the week So for one week you might just go over the types of sentences and then at the end Of that week you're done then you go over the next part of speech So these you guys are great for like additional practice. So if she is having a problem with a grammar concept Over the summer we can like use these simple workbooks. The writing workbook is just as good. I really really enjoy it It really breaks down writing for the kids in a simple way and this is just fun Simple practice, especially over the summer or if it's an area where she does the extra practice when it comes to writing So these scholastic workbooks you guys have been my favorite all-time favorite cheap affordable. They get the job done Now as I started my homeschooling journey you guys I you know, I fell into the trap Of explode the code and I definitely have to say I have enjoyed explode the code because my daughter She started off our homeschooling year in third grade. Um, she really didn't need the beginner explode the codes But as we were studying prefixes and suffixes last year I utilized this explode the code book 8 for that skill and it was amazing. My daughter. She loved it We still have a couple of pages in here. She hasn't finished So if I want to pick this baby back up for the summertime for like extra practice I definitely can but I have really been enjoying the explode the code series Again, it's just quick simple independent fast effective work Now as I'm going into uh, I guess starting from the beginning with my younger two I have actually just started the explode the code series from the beginning with the Get ready for the code series for my youngest one And I'm going to tell you guys this get ready or for the code has been so stinking cute I really enjoyed this series and um, hopefully I can go through the a b and c book with my daughter This upcoming school year for her pre-k year We already has have dabbled into this one and it has been so much fun I actually was able to get this explode the code the a b and c Print it off from my membership from scribe So if you have a scribe membership just go under documents and type in get ready for the code and it's there for you to print So, um, I didn't even have to purchase these. I just had to print them from home So I have been enjoying starting from the beginning now I see you guys why so many people do love explode the code and it's definitely like One of my top favorites as far as like homeschooling workbook supplements Now some other workbooks that I love and I have loved have been the evanmore workbooks you guys, um I loved evanmore spelling when we started off with this one. It really has been amazing evanmore has awesome workbooks So we have utilized their spelling workbook and one of the newer workbooks that's going to be new for us Is going to be this science workbook I actually picked up this evanmore science workbook because in our upcoming school year We are going to have like a heavier history year So I really just wanted to have like a simple workbook for my daughter to continue to Do science but do it more independently. So that is why I picked up this cheapy five dollar evanmore workbook In this particular one. She is going to be going over organisms and ecosystems Earth systems space systems structures and properties of matter So it's really an opportunity for her to get some science in Because again, like I said, we're having a heavier history year And I feel like that's like the best way to utilize these workbooks Is if you know that one of your subject is going to take the back burner Buy a simple workbook and your kids will still be able to get that knowledge and gain that knowledge throughout that year in a more simpler independent way So, um, this is going to be my first time using a skill sharpeners workbook However, I have used the spelling workbooks and I have loved them from evanmore Now, um, some more workbooks that I have been loving has been from shell education You guys has been 180 days of spelling and word study Now I have a video on my channel where I have compared evanmore spelling to 180 days of spelling And I love them both this spelling curriculum. It's just um has word study with it It's not just the spelling words and I have loved it So brielle is actually working through five and we're going to be using this book right here for her next school year And I love it. It's just a really simple way for her to you know, get that spelling get that vocabulary in all in one And it really has been great. So these are some more of my favorite workbooks. I haven't tried any of the 180 day series I know they have like reading social studies math Science they have a lot in this 180 day series I am only familiar with the word study, but if I do find that I need to supplement With another subject in a future, I might pick up one of the 180 day books as well So 180 days have definitely been a great workbook in our home school Now the last workbook that I'm going to share you is a new one I actually haven't uh tried it yet. We're going to be using it for this upcoming school year Which is wordly wise you guys I have heard about wordly wise so much On youtube on the internet everywhere. Everyone talks about wordly wise how it is such a good and great solid Vocabulary curriculum. So this is going to be my first time utilizing this in our home school Vocabulary is actually one of the areas that I need to beef up with my daughter When it comes to our homeschooling journey I feel like especially when they get into middle school like um not middle school, but um upper elementary is like when You really start to beef up that vocabulary. So I really think that wordly wise is going to be great for us Um, but so far you guys it's just a simple Workbook when it comes to vocabulary. Hopefully she loves it But this is just another one of those supplements that I am adding into my home school So you guys I really hope you enjoyed like this short simple video as I'm showing you guys some of my favorite homeschooling Workbooks and supplements that I have used over the years Hopefully hopefully this video will like inspire you to uh grab some workbooks Especially where you need to fill in those gaps with your main curriculum.
