What homeschoolers say about Press for Learning
Press for Learning's Building Foundations of Scientific Understanding series is appreciated by homeschoolers for its hands-on, inquiry-based approach to science that encourages critical thinking over rote memorization. Many parents find the curriculum thorough and well-structured for grades K-8, with clear explanations and activities that engage students. However, some note that it requires a significant time investment from parents to prepare and guide lessons, which can be challenging for busy families. The curriculum's pacing and depth may feel slow or repetitive to some, but overall it is valued for fostering a deep conceptual understanding of science.
