"Bright Beginnings
is a comprehensive, practical home-schooling curriculum which
certainly is child and family friendly!" |
|
"Mrs. Shaw has
poured a big bucketful of creativity and care into this program." |
|
“If you
want to get a jump on homeschooling with your preschoolers, this
one-to two-year program provides a nice balance of academic and
informal learning. Written by a homeschooling mom, it is a practical
curriculum for those with some dedicated time to devote to teaching
their preschoolers. Parents who want to do a structured
preschool with their children should be very pleased with Bright
Beginnings!” |
|
"Kindergarten
is the grade I taught and so I recognize that you have done an
excellent job of putting together a curriculum that is not only fun,
but educationally sound as well... I can see you have put a lot
of love into it." |
|
"Being familiar
with the curriculum development process, I can appreciate the wealth
of information as well as the love and care that went into preparing
the lessons in Bright Beginnings...they are a gold mine! The
curriculum is easy to follow, which makes it great for people who have
never taught before. If I should ever go back into the preschool
classroom, I will definitely be using this curriculum!" |

"Thanks for
sending us a review copy of your book, Bright Beginnings. I
absolutely love it and you will have my personal recommendation when I
talk with new home schoolers. Years ago I used {another preschool
program} with all three of my children. Although it was worth every
minute I put into it..... I had to put WAY TOO MANY of the those
minutes in! Your title looks like something I would have dreamed of
13 years ago." |

"If you desire a
comprehensive preschool curriculum based on Christian principles, look
no further. Tammy Shaw has interwoven character training and
Bible knowledge with heavy doses of real-life learning experiences and
open-ended art and science projects. The only materials
needed are a Bible, common household items and optional library books
(which I highly recommend to enhance and reinforce the lessons)
The 144 lessons can be completed using various schedules and may begin
at any time of the year. Included are 33 fun worksheets an A-Z
flashcards. Letters, shapes, numbers, colors, gross and fine
motor coordination skills, listening, visual discrimination, and
classifying skills are creatively taught in a fun-loving, motivating
way. The Bible lessons proceed chronologically and contain an
additional hands-on activity and a prayer focus to complete the
lesson. When teaching this program to a group of five young
neighborhood children, ages 4-5, I discovered this is not only
effective for homeschools, but also for small groups, day care
centers, and Bible classes. This program leaves children begging
for more and looking forward to the next school day! What more
can you ask for? Requires little teacher preparation time.
Highly user-friendly." |

I received the workbooks
and am currently reading through them. I LOVE THEM! I can see
that God used you in a mighty way to make them. Thanks for sharing
with me... I will be sure to pass along the great news of your existence to
my MOPS group and anyone else who will listen! |

I wanted to tell you
that I love the Bright Beginnings curriculum. My 4 year old is
enjoying all of the hands on activities and I like this style of teaching
(not too dry). I'm wondering if there are similar curricula for a 9
year old? Any info you can give will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you. |

I wish I had Bright
Beginnings when my children were preschoolers! I am a home schooling
mother of six, whose oldest, completely home schooled, graduated last year
from high school. I have a masters degree in school psychology and am
familiar with many home school curricula. Tammy Shaw has put together
an incredible amount of information, ideas, and instruction in order for you
to easily teach your preschooler in nine subject areas. You won't have
to get a different book for each subject the way I had to when I taught my
preschoolers. Tammy gives daily lesson plans that are very easy to
follow. She lists everything that you need each day to teach your
child. Her instructions are thorough and simple to understand - I
would think that your teenager could very easily teach your preschooler with
these books! I appreciate Tammy's emphasis on teaching the Bible to
your child by reading age appropriate amounts of scripture, using a prayer
focus and including a memory verse. Tammy has selected a variety of
activities and ways of teaching the subjects so that you are not doing the
same things every day with your child. I HIGHLY recommend Bright
Beginnings. I'm counting on my children using this curriculum with my
grandchildren! |

I have received Bright
Beginnings and have been pouring over the pages. I am very, very
impressed! First of all, this is the most impressive preschool
curriculum that I have come across. When you say "complete", that is
exactly what it is. It lives up to all of the descriptions that I read
about it. I cannot even begin to imagine the amount of time it took to
put this together and I am thankful that you decided to publish it for
others to benefit from. |
