'What your first grader needs to know' is by far the best book that I have purchased for homeschooling. I believe it's a must have for every homeschooling family wondering if they are covering what they should. Along with non-homeschooling families curious if their child is where he or he should be at in the school system.It goes over everything your child needs to know in the first grade, breaking it up into sections by subject. It not only explains to you what your child should know, but gives you pointers on how you can help your child learn and achieve the first grade goals.I have nearly every book in this series, for each grade level, and use them all. And for a lot of the concepts, you can really use them at any level, such as the stories and poems. Each subject is broken up into sections/chapters, which I mark with sticky notes sticking out of the top. And even though as time moves on, they are getting older, the first editions are just as wonderful as the second. Like I stated, you can use any of them at any level. You do not have to use this first grade book for a first grader, use it for any child who could benefit from it. So if you feel your child is at a different level, all you do is adjust.I use these books as a basis. I can adapt any lesson plan to this book. When reading the poems and short stories, or the history section ( or really any section) it opens up a whole world for more research and reading. The stories get my kids interested in a topic, and they want to know more, so, we find more. A trip to the library, an Internet search, or a kindle download (usually free). Our kids enjoy them as much as I do. I have used them for many years now. I started with the kindergarten series when our now 17 year old was 5, and homeschooled until 6th grade (and again her freshman year). She is now a National Honor Society member, dual-enrolled, straight A student in the publc school system.) and considering finishing up her high school career at home,) And again with our now 8 year-old, and beginning some of the reading with our toddler, but will repeat it as he grows. But they're never to little to be read to!Sections on reading, literature, poems... Math, science, social studies and music. My favorite are the literature, poems and history. I use them the most. Only wish those sections were bigger.Many thanks to the author of this great book for putting everything I need to know to teach my child, under one cover.
