I came to the Good and the Beautiful through you just this year. I needed to change curriculum for my twins and this was a perfect fit! So glad that you got a link so that the company knows just how many people come to them through you. That is so exciting! So thankful for your sharing their curriculum all these years.

Thankyou for sharing that with me and wanting to support!

You are definitely one of the homeschool mamas (that i thank God for) for recommending TGTB... it's been a blessing in our lives, and I'm so glad I can recommend them to friends ❤ ps: seeing your daughter do level 6 just makes me think ... wow ... time flies. I remember you showing us a lower elementary LA lesson. Many blessings to you and your family ❤

I know Gina! It’s flown by!

Thanks for sharing! We just started using the Good and the Beautiful earlier this year after watching one of your videos. It has been a game changer in our homeschool.

Yes!!!! I’m excited for this I found them from you 4 years ago!!

We started the good and the beautiful bc of you and we have been using them for 4 or 5 years

I also decided to try tgab about 3 years ago because of you! Thank you so much for that! ❤️

Ooo this makes me so excited for high school!!! I was never taught how to manage my time and how to study in high school and it greatly affected my college career in nursing school and into my BSN.

I came to the Good and the Beautiful through you also! I'd love to let the Good and the Beautiful know that! 🥰 I was so bummed to miss out of the book bundle that sold out so quickly. I hope they bring it back! 🙏

We're on our 5th year of using the TGTB - it is everything I was looking for in our homeschool. I first heard of it through you, so thank YOU & I will most certainly use your link! ❤

The Badger Hill Farms series is so good!!

Yes!! You turned me on to TGTB! So thankful. ❤congrats!!

What a great idea Ashley. I heard about TGATB from you some years ago when I started homeschooling about 4 years ago. Those books, The Secret Door great, hope they come back in, know my 8 year old would love them. I’ll also pick up Math 7 for my almost 11 year old. Thanks so much for always sharing your hs journey and great curriculum choices. X

I just downloaded the app before this video ended. 😂 Those reading booster games are going to be a hit with my kids! I'm definitely going to add it to my educational apps for them.

The entire reason we've been using (and loving) the Good and the Beautiful since my oldest was in preschool (she's now in 3rd grade) is because of you! I will be using your link going forward! We get most of our curriculum from them. It's how all 3 of my kids learned to read. ❤️ And I got some of the Badger Hill series in the couple of days they were in stock! 😂 My oldest begged for that series and we surprised her with it for Christmas!

We did the same for our oldest daughter! 😊

I would LOVE to see some writing samples for each level. I used to be an English teacher, and while I don’t believe things need to line up with public school, I do know what it takes to be college ready if that is the goal. We are loving TGTB so far (prek- level 3) but I would love to see how the writing continues to progress in the later years ❤😊

I have a question about combining The Good and the Beautiful language arts with Sonlight Curriculum readers. I own most of the Sonlight readers from using the curriculum with my two oldest children. I love Sonlight literature, and want my younger children to read their books. Do the Good and the Beautiful readers link directly to the Language Arts workbooks, or could I just replace the reading time with a Sonlight Book? Also, can the Language Arts be ordered without the book pack? My kids will be going into 6th & 8th next year. Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions.

I have loved so many aspects of the higher levels GATB language arts. My kids have struggled not enjoying the higher level books…. Have you encountered this and how do you handle grumbling about not liking the reading?

@GraceandGrit

Yes they def have voiced not loving them all but I just encourage them to read things outside of what they’d choose on their own.

Last time I checked, the level 8 book studies were not available...are they bringing them back?

I haven’t checked the site in awhile, I ordered mine last summer!

I sent my email letting them know all the curriculum I have purchased has been from listening and watching your family's positive growth and sharing of all levels of all the curriculum and so many books. We too have found success with the program in so many ways for so many reasons. We love their family for all they do and give but only because we loved you and your family first. God's Blessing's over you and yours this coming New Year!

Question, I have a daughter who is going to be completing the LA 7 course and she wants to advance to the 9th grade option. She is an avid reader and very interested in moving forward past this book study option for 8th grade. What are your thoughts about that?

I absolutely love TGTB. Unfortunately my children have been behind so this last year or 2 we've been catching things up when it comes to language arts. My 8th grader has been doing TGTB level 6 and the level 8 book studies. We take turns by her on one day doing 2 lessons of level 6 and the next day a lesson of her book study. She is about 20 lessons away from finishing level 6 and is half way done with her second book study. So when she finishes level 6 we will slow down a bit and she will be doing one lesson of level 7 and then lesson of her book study until she finishes all 3 studies. Then I'll let her take her time with level 7 before we move on to high school language arts. It's really been working well for us. My Kindergartners recently finished the preschool and now are working through the level K slowly. My 3rd grader is almost finished with level 1 we do about 3 lessons a day, just to catch him and make sure there's no holes. But it's really easy for him. Level 2 I will be slowing down a bit and doing no more than 2 lessons a day. I truly love this program.

Good morning! Thanks for being here!

If I remember correctly, you have used BJU English for highschool as well. If that is correct, do you prefer one over the other, TGTB or BJU? I am one of those that will buy almost everything you recommended, because it has worked wonderfully for us. So I’m curious as to which high school curriculum to choose. I will be letting TGTB know that you’ve sent me many times throughout the years! Blessings.

Are your older children able to do TGTB language independently? My 5th grader is using BJU videos for it and I like how it’s independent. My oldest is using Abeka English 7 and is independent also.. Math is my strong subject so I need something on me for English 😬
