BEAUTIFUL FEET BOOKS
As I was writing a review for the Early American History study for Beautiful Feet Books, it became apparent that there would be a lot of value in reviewing the company’s resources as a whole (in addition to the specific study.)
WHO/WHAT IS BEAUTIFUL FEET BOOKS?
Beautiful Feet Books was started in 1984 by Rea Berg, a homeschool mom who wanted to teach her children history without using a dry and lifeless textbook. Inspired in this pursuit by Susan Schaeffer Macaulay’s For the Children’s Sake and the writings of Charlotte Mason, she created a living books approach to the subject of history.
Today, Beautiful Feet Books‘ vision is “To help homeschooling parents ignite wonder and connect with their kids through the best stories and guided lessons.”
To accomplish this vision, they create, develop, and publish history and literature-based homeschool curriculum, unit studies, and teacher’s guides.
WHO SHOULD USE BEAUTIFUL FEET BOOKS?
This curricula was created with kids of all ages in mind. And, kids who love to read should really benefit from the style and substance of anything from Beautiful Feet Books.
Additionally, visual learners will find the beautiful picture books helpful while kids who lean towards the reading/writing slant of the learning style model, will like the meaty amount of text.
And, if you have auditory learners, reading the book selections will serve them well.
Students who are kinesthetic learners may find the sitting and reading to be a wee much without breaking the time up with something hands-on/physical.
But, it’s important to note that Beautiful Feet Books has a variety of activities listed in their Teacher Guides that will keep all kinds of learners engaged.
WHO SHOULD NOT USE BEAUTIFUL FEET BOOKS?
If you have a student who is very reticent to read, this may not be the best option as each study is based on a selection of books to read over the course of the year.
This curriculum also won’t likely work well for a student who prefers to work in a vacuum instead of taking time to partake in discussions with other students, parents or siblings.
