Moxie Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Tot School? Confessions of a Homeschooler's Letter of the Week Curriculum? We did the Confessions plan last year for pre-k and really liked it. It is a ton of printing but I have other littles coming up so it was worth it for me. HTH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelli Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 This looks really neat, but I haven't used it yet...might have to do it this fall with my pre-k kid! http://www.daniellesplace.com/homeschool/index.cfm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkacademy Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 This looks really neat, but I haven't used it yet...might have to do it this fall with my pre-k kid! http://www.daniellesplace.com/homeschool/index.cfm I LOVED DANIELLES PLACE!!! Her ABC I believe is wonderful and from my understanding it is added too as well. The ABC membership is a one time thing so you have it for life. I have been wanting to do the one with the insect lapbooks and keep forgetting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homemama2 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Are you thinking of the book A is for Adam by Ken Ham? It's not a preK "program", it's a book, but letter 'D' is for Dinosaur. ;) It has teacher notes and student exercises in the back of it and is in poem format.

I'm planning on adding it to LHTH from HOD for my soon to be 4-year-old this fall. For only $12.95 that fits in my budget easily :001_smile: Thanks for letting me know about the lifetime membership as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom&nana Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Also Totally Tots has a fun ABC craft with books and ideas to go along with it. Just click on each letter for more information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladydusk Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Learn your Letters, Learn to Serve? Haven't (and probably won't) use it, but looks intriguing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnMomof7 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Is it the Answer's in Genesis preschool curric? They have one, and since D is for Dinosaur is a Ken Ham book, it made me think of that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kht2006 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Like Jennifer said, maybe the Answers in Genesis one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savmom Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Bible & Rhyme from Hubbard's Cupboard does a letter of the week curriculum that incorporates bible lessons, crafts, etc. My dd loved this when she was 4-5. Except for printing, it is totally free! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
