Wonderful package
I absolutely love this package. My little boy was struggling in school and was behind. Struggling to read, writing backwards, couldn't read his sight words and the list goes on but now he actually is interested in learning and is learning very fast! He doesn't want to do just one lesson each day. He loves class. The smile on his face makes me so happy that I choose Rainbow Resource.

Why did you choose this?
Is this a full school year or calendar year? About how long should it take to complete a full curriculum. Further are there assessments to determine whether the student is ready to move on?
These courses provide the necessary components for an academic year in four main subject areas - language arts, math, science, and social studies. They are designed to be completed in the course of an academic year (usually 180 days; nine months). They can be started anytime, however.
There are assessments provided within the different courses.
Does this include a guide explaining what to teach each day?
There is not a guide for the overall package but each product has its own pacing guide. The products are very user-friendly and in most instances, you complete one lesson per day.
Is this a whole year of curriculum?
Yes, it is. The Rainbow Starter Sets include full-year courses in the four core subjects - math, language arts, science, and social studies.
it was a recommendation from a fellow homeschool mom.
I needed a curriculum that did not have any religious focus. I chose the Rainbow Resources package because I was able to get Saxon Math.
It seemed to be the closest to the type of education my son would get in a school setting. Normally I would not be homeschooling and I definitely need help to make sure I can keep us on target. This…
