And now for today’s favorite vendors (and that 4th giveaway!) —

Hewitt Homeschooling

If you have been involved with homeschooling for any length of time, you have undoubtedly heard Hewitt Homeschooling and their Lightning Literature program mentioned more than once.

Lightning Literature is available for junior and senior high (with programs for elementary grades coming soon!).  Lightning Lit uses a combination of novels, plays, and autobiographies (full-length texts), and also essays, short stories and poetry, to teach composition, literature, and other language arts skills. Hewitt Homeschooling believes that reading great literature, and then writing about it go hand in hand in preparing students for college-level reading and writing.

The Crew was given the opportunity to review several products from Hewitt:

The junior high levels (Grade 7 or Grade 8) are full year courses, High school Lightning Lit programs,  The Joy of Discovery, and Learning Objectives for Grades K-8State Chronicles, a notebook that can be used to study any state you wish, arrived in a few Crew homes.

  1. Isn’t that like picking a favorite child?! 🙂 I love so many of them. Little Women is always a top favorite but I also love Pride and Prejudice.

  2. Me personally – I like anything by Dickens or Twain. I know vastly different styles! I also really like George Elliot. My kids are completely different. I guess they are not to into realism. They prefer Verne, CS Lewis, & Tolkien! One we all love is Kipling though and Stevenson!
