Bible Study
 
KJV Kids’ Study Bible, by Lawrence O. Richards. The KJV Kids’ Study Bible uses the complete King James Version, a timeless treasure and traditional favorite that’s hard to find in children’s Bibles. Besides the faithful text of the King James, this colorful edition contains many helpful features and activities to keep the child’s interest. It has introductions to each book, a summary of what each book is about, thought questions for the child to understand God’s Word at their level, fun facts about life in Bible times, and important verses to remember. In addition, there are eight color maps that show where Bible events took place, and a dictionary/concordance.
Mathematics  
Saxon is the only major math program on the market that systematically distributes instruction, practice, and assessment throughout the entire text as opposed to concentrating, or massing, related concepts into a short period of time--usually within a unit or chapter. Saxon’s unique approach ensures that students not only gain but also retain essential math skills.
Science
 God’s Design for Science, by Richard and Debbie Lawrence. This is a complete science curriculum for grades 1-8 all in one set! It covers life science, earth science, physical science, chemistry and ecology. Learn how real science supports biblical authority and the Genesis account of creation. The curriculum was designed specifically with homeschoolers in mind so the lessons are short, easy to teach, and take a hands-on approach using ordinary household items for experiments and activities. The recommended sequence is... Grade 1: Life Science; Grade 2: Earth Science; Grade 3: Chemistry; and Grade 4: Physical Science followed by Grade 5: Life Science; Grade 6: Earth Science; Grade 7: Chemistry; and Grade 8: Physical Science. Each subject has a "Beginners" section geared to elementary-age students, and when you start the series over again with middle school students you will use the more in-depth "Challenge" section. This way, each subject is taught twice to reinforce previous learning and develop deeper understanding of the concepts. (This also lets you teach younger and older children at the same time.) The curriculum comes with 16 softcovers (including both student & teacher books) and 4 CD-ROMs. All of the worksheets and tests may be photocopied for use with more than one student.
  The Scientist's Apprentice, by Hilary Welliver. This complete one-year science curriculum allows you to teach all your kids in grades K through 6 together! Students learn about astronomy, anatomy, earth science, and oceanography through experiments, activities, songs, art and more. Includes detailed teacher information, lesson plans, bibliographies, and reproducible activity sheets. More interesting than a text and easier than creating your own study.

Grammar & Writing Grade 6, by Curtis & Hake.
From the creators of Saxon Math! Believing that students would benefit from a language arts series designed with the Saxon model of incremental development and continual review, they commissioned a team of authors to produce Grammar and Writing. This comprehensive yet easy-to-use language arts program covers English grammar, writing, spelling, punctuation, and vocabulary. The curriculum embeds content from other subject areas so that students learn valuable knowledge while developing English language skills. The texts are written by Christine Curtis, Adjunct Professor of English at Biola University, and Mary Hake, former teacher and homeschool parent. As longtime users of Saxon Math, we’ve found that the Saxon style of instruction works just as effectively in language arts. Homeschoolers will want to buy the kit which contains a Student Textbook, Student Workbook, and Teacher Packet.
