- The following is a Homeschool Review -
All through my years of homeschooling my 5 children, I always wanted them to take a course in Home Economics. I tried a few different books that were available, but nothing that I wanted to stick with. I recently came across a one-year program of study that is perfect for homeschooled students.
I do have to say that while I did teach my children a great deal about Home Economics, from my own experience, as well as a three-year course of study I took as a teenager in school, I would have liked an overview program for them to complete as well.
This program was published by Landmark Freedom Baptist Curriculum. It is a 2-semester (one year) course of study.
The course includes 4 paperback books:
1. Student Workbook, 226 pages.
2. Study Guide Answers, 34 pages.
3. Test and Quizzes.
4. Test and Quizzes Answer book.

Details
- There are 5 lessons for each week. There is a brief daily assignment to complete (directly from the student workbook).
- Quizzes are given at the end of each week. There is a total of 34 quizzes, to cover the term of an entire school year.
- There are 4 quarterly tests, given at approximately every 2 months. All instructions are clearly laid out in the student workbook so you will always know when it is the right time to assign a quiz or test.

Specifics
The text is interesting and enjoyable to read. There are adorable comic illustrations throughout the workbook.
The entire course provides a practical study of Home Economics. It will help build a strong foundation of overall skill and experience in managing one's own home.
The lessons are designed for teenagers. As I was reading through the workbook, I thought that any middle to upper school student, at any skill level, could learn from this course. In other words, no prerequisite is necessary for either teacher or student.
Throughout the entire year, the student is assigned the ongoing task of creating her own family cookbook. There are ideas, help, suggestions, and instructions for working on this project.
By the time the student has completed the course, she will have gained a great deal of knowledge. She will also have her very own cookbook!
