I have used several units from MBTP, We actually bought the whole year the first time. We loved it. I am not a planner so sometimes it was a lot. Every time I stray away I miss it and we end up going back and doing some units during each year lol. Would love to see how it continues to go.

Thank you so much for this video! MBTP has been on my radar awhile but I just have not taken the plunge. There really is not alot of in depth reviews of the program itself. I really appreciate you being willing to do one. Yes, I would love to see an indepth review of Charlotte's webb and the water cycle. ( I am surprised the life cycle was not parked with Charlotte's webb seems like it would have been a better fit. )

Thank for more information on them. Looking into this for next school year for my 10year old son. Wish they had more in the higher grades to use with my older daughter as well. One thing I wanted to say is that knowledge most kids do take economics in public schools, unfortunately most the time it is taught in a way most kids don’t understand or are very uninterested in understanding. I think it is so awesome that you are teaching your kids young! I love that they have this material available for a younger age group. I think that is unique.

We used every level from 4 to 5 all the way thru 10to12....not with a single kid, but between my three. My favorite overall level was 8to10. So many good books and concepts and amazing activities in that level.. My oldest loved the curriculum and used it as his main curriculum in K, 2nd, 5th and 6th grades. my middle didn't as much, but occasionally liked doing a unit. My daughter loved the Sarah Plain and Tall unit, my sons both loved Holes and my oldest always enjoyed the science units and experiments so much! I can't wait to see more reviews, it might make me very nostalgic and wanting to pick up some for my youngest to do them again!

I changed my mind after going back through and looking at the units again...10to12 was probably my favorite level overall! and now I am so nostalgic for mbtp units that I am loading up my cart with units we loved when my son did it, or units we skipped because they weren't of his interest but my daughter will probably like them! They truly are fantastic!

What a great in depth video of how Moving Beyond the Page works. There’s really not many videos on KZitem about them. We used the LA/SS/S for my two kids a couple years ago. Ages 5-7 and 8-10. It was incredible and have so many options to dive deep into topics. Plus there’s so much room for creative expression. I was so new to homeschooling then that honestly we got too overwhelmed between the two age groups and subjects. I thought we had to do every activity when it was scheduled. Now that I’m more comfortable, I’m actually going to be bring back their science for my kids next year. I decided we can do one activity per day rather than sometimes 3 and veto what doesn’t work for us. The literature is absolutely outstanding! Since I’ve done a few different age ranges, I do know that they don’t focus on writing (aside from creative) until much later. I think that’s great that you are still incorporating a supplemental writing program. I so look forward to your future videos on MBTP. 😊

Right before our recent midterm elections, we did the unit study for “The Whipping Boy” + the Government unit. My daughter went with me to vote and it was such a great experience right after that unit. As a field trip for “The Whipping Boy,” since we learned about the feudal system, we went to “Tournament of Kings” (which is the Vegas version of Medieval Times). I love how MBTP connects everything and is so hands on!

Thanks for another incredibly helpful review. Two questions if you can answer: (1) If you don't read the book with your kids, are you able to manage their activities to see if they are on the right track or not? I am wondering how much time I will have to spend reading each book with them (2) Do you read the entire book and then go through all activities or do you read some pages, then do related activities, then read more pages etc.?

I normally am sitting in the same room listening to my kids read the book, as they take turns reading aloud or listening to the audiobook. If for some reason I am not, then the MBTP units have the discussion questions and answers for each chapter they read so that helps me make sure they are understanding what they are reading. I normally cap reading at about 20 minutes per day. We read the chapters and then do the activities with that chapter. The MBTP tells you what chapters to read. I have a bunch of videos on specific units to give you more information.

I tried mbtp for two of my kids this year, ages 4-5 and 6-8. I wanted to love it, but it didn't work out. The 4-5 level (kinder) was so repetitive and far below grade level, and the 6-8 (2nd grade) was very disjointed. We enjoyed the literature selections, but it wasn't enough to meet standards for the grade levels. I found myself supplementing more and more until we finally let it go.

I think you can do whatever is best for your homeschool. For this unit both my kids had a physical copy of the book and listened to the audio book read aloud to them. In our upcoming unit, there isn’t an audio book available so they both have copies of the book and will take turns reading aloud.
