Presidential Penmanship BJ Style Review

Posted in Homeschooling, and Reviews

Zeezok Publishing was founded in 2003 with a goal to provide quality literature and educational books for use in training the next generation.  They believe that “It is better to build children than to repair men.” Zeezok Publishing sent us the Presidential Penmanship BJ Style Complete curriculum on cd to review.  This program includes handwriting skills practice for grades 1st through senior high.  While we do not normally use a separate handwriting program, I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to easily incorporate the use of this program in our every day schooling.  Since the program is made up…

Keyboarding for the Christian School Review

Posted in Homeschooling, and Reviews

Keyboarding for the Christian School is not just a typing product.  Yes, you begin the program by learning proper hand/finger placement for all of the letters, numbers, and symbols.  In fact, the first 29 lessons cover the routine typing practice that you will find in most basic typing program.  There are no frills – just good old fashioned typing practice. The part that differentiates this product from other typing programs is that it goes beyond just the basics of typing.  You will learn how to vertically and horizontally format a document using scripture passages from Psalms.  You will learn how…

Math Tutor Review

Posted in Homeschooling, and Reviews

As part of the TOS Crew, we were given the opportunity to review 2 products from the Math Tutor dvd line.  We received The Basic Math Word Problem Tutor – 8 Hour Video Course and Young Minds – Numbers and Counting.

Worship Guitar Class Volume 1 Review

Posted in Reviews

Jean Welles offers her Worship Guitar class in two formats: one for children ages 5-9 and one for anyone 10+.  As part of the TOS Crew, we received the Worship Guitar Class Volume One. Since we are already working on learning the guitar, we were excited to receive this class.  We soon found out that this wasn’t (in our opinion) a complete guitar class.  The class does a nice job teaching you to play the worship songs, but you are going to need an additional program if you want music theory and a more in depth guitar study. The course…
