The A+ Homeschool Planner: Plan, Record, and Celebrate Each Child's Progress

This is our first year homeschooling (with a 6, 5, and 2 year old). It was overwhelming trying to plan and put down thoughts until I purchased this planner. After looking at 20+ planners of different shapes and sizes, reading review after review, I landed on this one. Simple, easy to use, straight to the point, perfect size, customizable, actually helpful layout, no extra frills wasting space and distracting, it is darn near perfect in every way!! Stop looking and do yourself a favor, click purchase now. With room for six students I even have room to include myself and husbands studies as well. One of the most consistent heads up comments given to me is to be flexible and be willing to adjust. The "extra" and "grades" pages at the end of every week will allow me to accurately do this as well as pace myself and the babes. Every page has an encouraging quote or practicable, tangible motivations and reminders. The A+ Homeschool Planner has eased any anxious thoughts, leaving me prepared and cultivating excitement that can only spur on the littles. I will update after this review once the year is completed and more can be said. I foresee nothing but great things!!***update***Bought a new one for this year. Even with COVID throwing a wrench in our end of the year, we finished an track and this planner helped SO much! Still stand by this and recommend it to anyone homeschooling or keeping up with their families activities!

I love this book! Since homeschooling is not always Monday-Friday from 8:00 to 3:00, it's nice to have a planner that covers all seven days so your weekend lessons and field trips can be planned without squeezing it in the margins. One great thing is that it's super adaptable for those times you need longer to complete a unit, go off course because of your child's interest in a topic, or change your plans for whatever reason. This planner is very flexible and can be easily used for those who love long-range planning and for those who like to plan day-to-day. The "Extras" and "Grades" are integrated within the weekly plans, so you have everything in one place. Another great thing is that you can record plans for all your children without having to have a separate planner for each child. The yearly overview section helps you see the scope of what you hope to accomplish through the year. The quotes and bits of encouragement and information at the top of each page are also nice without cluttering up the pages. I personally like the fact that the book is not spiral bound. Every time I use a spiral bound book the metal end gets caught on things and it always manages to un-spiral itself! If it makes a difference, most office supply stores can make it spiral bound at very little cost. I highly recommend this planner for anyone who plans to homeschool or is already homeschooling. I am so happy I bought this.

This is a great planner. I did as another reviewer recommended and removed the binding and had a spiral binding put in place. Having spiral binding on it makes it a lot easier to write in. I only have four children and one is an infant, so I use the extra spaces for personal daily/chore goals for myself and for the family as a whole. I like that the weekly calendar has a checklist for each line. I'm not naturally an organized person, so being able to check things off helps to feel like things are getting accomplished.Also, being able to write in my own calendar and weeks is helpful since we school year round and takes breaks sporadically. The flexibility of the planner will allow me to use it completely without having to cross out weeks that we take off. It's very functional and has really helped kick this school year off successfully.The only reason I gave this four stars instead of five is because the cover could be more durable if it was laminated. The edges get easily bent in the hustle and bustle of homeschooling. It also works much better with spiral binding, which I think would be a great option for customers to choose in the purchasing process instead of having to do it themselves. I did try to use it how I received it and I finally gave in and changed the binding because it was bothersome not being able to write on a flat surface. I also like that spiral binding allows me to just flip the unused pages behind and out of the way. Some people might also not like the size/thickness of this, but it holds a lot of content and provides flexibility, so the size doesn't matter to me.

I like this planner the most. I am a person who likes to write detailed report on a daily basis. It has so many pages that says “month” where i can write monthly notes on daily basis. Other than that there are pages about “grades” where i can write about our exams/ assessments. Then there is extra space/pages where i write further detail of chapters that are covered for each subject individually. Also, there are pages to write your goals that I am using to plan the work we are supposed to cover for our vaccation trip (during school days). I would say, every one who is homeschooling must have this plannar. The planner will help to write the quarterly reports/ annual assessments without recalling in memory.

This planner might be basic, but it has everything you need. I have looked and looked at planners and had a difficult time spending a ton of money with not being able to tell what was in the planner. This planner is basic, but it has the following sections in it: Year Calendar, Goals, Monthly schedule, Weekly schedule, Extras, an area each week for grades, and Year in Review. It has everything you need for a good price.

I homeschool, and get one of these every single year. It has enough space to write all that I need as well as its very sturdy and you can write your dates on there to accommodate your school year. It is extremely inexpensive and very well put together. They last years and hold up their shape and pages.

I'm now on my 3rd one of these having been homeschooling for 3 years and I love it! I can plan each week for all 3 of my children with plenty of space. The quotes on each page is a lovely touch. Without it I'd be a mess!

We have just started homeschooling and finding good materials has been a challenge, especially for secular content. This organiser is exactly what we were looking for and more. We're looking forward to using it all of this year... and also appreciate that it even includes (secular) reference links for finding schooling materials. A win overall!

Searched for a long time for a planner where I could fill in the dates and multiple students. This one does that and it’s great!

I love this planner. It has made planning the homeschool year really easy. I feel super organised and I can keep track of everything really easily. It also has lovely inspirational quotes and ideas on each page which is a lovely touch.

I was surprised when I recieved the planner because its more like a book than a planner. So I'm not a huge fan of the format.That being said it covers all the basics for organising home education when starting out. It has sections for yearly, monthly and weekly goals. But in future I'll probably use this as a reference and make my own in a ring binder format.
