   Great way to give your home schooler(s) a well rounded education!
The hardest struggle I have had in homeschooling my children is feeling like I have left my kids with a well rounded knowledge covering a multitude of topics, stories, poems, riddles and such, that we all learned in public school as children. I teach our 3 girls at home, and I also have a close friend who is an elementary teacher. She has told me several times that you can always tell the kids who were home schooled. She compared their knowledge to Swiss cheese. Some spots were covered, but in their knowledge they were large holes. This book makes a huge step in resolving it. These are the stories we grew up hearing, but are not usually included in most home schooling curriculum! Definitely worth the buy and I wish I had known about this book when my oldest was in kindergarten.

   Wonderful, but not a curriculum
This book is an excellent resource for aspiring authors. I found it very helpful to begin our home school education. It is, however, not even close to a curriculum. It will not cover education for an entire year of age for any child. It is a published checklist of cultural background and basic education skills that your child will do very well to have by the end of the kindergarten year. It can be used to complement traditional schooling or check for gaps in home schooling. The book is designed for a parent and child to use together, with the parent being able to customize and use additional resources if needed. It is definitely worth having in your collection for the price. For the homeschooling crowd, the Core Knowledge website has teachers - handbooks that provide information, expand resources and teach resources to teach, turning the information into a real curriculum.

   Great for bedtime reading
My four year old daughter asks me to read every night to her out of this. She is asking questions about who lives on certain continents and what the people do in the paintings.

   Great Start for Homeschooling Kindergartners
This is not an all-inclusive text as it may appear at first. It does have good suggestions to get you started on the path of homeschooling. I feel like it is a bit too sparse for what I want to achieve with my kindergartener, but it was still worth buying just for the information it contains. If you are thinking about homeschooling, I would suggest reading this book, So You're Thinking About Homeschooling Second Edition Fifteen Families Show How You Can Do It.

   I think it would be good for a public school student as well if parents ...
We use this as the basis for our home school curriculum for 5 years old this year. It helps me to ensure that I cover all my bases. We are using the content to supplement what I teach. I think it would be good for a public school student as well if parents wanted to do some study at home that is age appropriate, but their updated version is better aligned with the common core.

I am going to start my homeschool children and use common knowledge. This book helps to lay the foundation of what students should know at each level. The book is full of information to help children learn at an appropriate level.

   Highly recommend
I wasn 't sure if he would slow enough to be homeschooled for kinder and be ready for in-school grade 1. The way this book is organized, it was so easy. Knowing the topics had just enough information to give him the facts, and it always sparked great conversations if he wanted to go deeper on the subject. We have completed history and he wants more. It is not a full curriculum, it is just what the title says, but with history I find the topics better than my own for my kinder. Kids are all different, but parents are this book worth the price.

   Confusing pronoun use / poorly written / edited
Despite E.D.'s rejection, despite E.D. , JR. and John Holdren, editors of this book, What your kindergartener needs to know, fails to use coherent pronouns. The book is in terms of gendering your child all over the place. They should have used pronouns throughout the book, gender neutral. For example, in a matter of 2 paragraphs, your child goes from referring to him as a him to a her.

   Great homeschool guide
I'm very happy with this book! '' It is a great guide to the homeschool and helps me to make sure I am not missing a lot of topics. My daughter is only 3.5, but I think a lot of it is something she can understand. When we come across something that is not ready for us, we can either adapt it or revisit it later. So far, she enjoyed the few readingsactivities we’ve done. One thing I say is that you should probably supplement some topics. Such is the section on Columbus. Overall, I am very happy!
