In this episode, I dive into one of my all-time favorite homeschool math curricula—Teaching Textbooks. If you’ve been looking for a self-grading, online math program that simplifies the homeschooling, you’re in the right place! I share how Teaching Textbooks has been a game changer for my family, providing flexibility, ease of use, and a stress-free grading system.
From the ability to access lessons on-the-go to customizing grading for each child, Teaching Textbooks offers everything a busy homeschooling parent could need. I also discuss how the curriculum supports students from grades 3 through high school and provides lifetime access to grades—perfect for homeschoolers who need to track progress or meet state requirements.
Plus, there's a gem that I wish I had known about when my kids were younger—free math tutoring over the phone! If your child struggles with a lesson, just call and get real-time help from the Teaching Textbooks team.
Listen in for a detailed review, pros and cons, and a bonus—how to get your first 15 lessons free to see if Teaching Textbooks is the right fit for your homeschool.
