Rainbow Starter Package Secular Grade 4

Our Secular Packages retain the neutral resources from our Starter Packages (such as All About Reading, Saxon Math, and Story of the World) while replacing others with the addition of neutral or secular materials.

• Language Arts: First Language Lessons is added for grades 2-3, as well as Essentials in Writing/Literature at the upper levels. G.U.M. Drops, Spelling Workout, Ready Readers and Zaner-Bloser Handwriting are also included to round out language arts.
• Social Studies: History is world focused in elementary, with Story of the World (Grades 1-4) and History Quest (Grades 5-6). Grades 7-8 add geography tools to the US History Detective series.
• Science: Includes Science Odyssey or Exploring the Building Blocks of Science depending on grade level with Friendly Physical Science for 8th grade.

"I need your 7th grade curriculum package." How often we've heard similar pleas, but didn't have a package option to offer. Now we do! With the new homeschooler in mind, we wanted them to be easy to jump into and get started. They are! We also wanted them to be solid and strong in academics. They are! And we wanted them to utilize a variety of homeschooling products, so you would have a better idea of what works well for you and your students. They do! Can you tell we're just a bit excited about these packages? They include products we have used in our own schooling. They include products that have a proven track record in terms of success. They include products that are effective with a variety of learning styles.

We offer four series of packages for grades K - 8.

• Starter Packages include some items with a Christian perspective.
• Economy Starter Packages include budget curriculum choices some of which are items with a Christian perspective.
• Secular Packages are similar to our Starter Packages but do NOT include any items with Christian perspective.
• Standards-Based Packages include courses from mainline curriculum publishers that are aligned to state and national standards.

As you progress in your homeschool experience, you will get a better feel for the types of materials that work best for you and your students. But for now, our main goal in putting together these sets is to make it easy for you to get started. We want you to be able to Homeschool with Confidence! ~ Janice
