What homeschoolers say about Workman Publishing
Homeschool families appreciate Workman Publishing's 'Big Fat Notebook' series for its clear, student-friendly explanations and visually engaging format that helps make complex subjects accessible. The books are often praised for covering key standards and serving as effective study aids or supplements. However, some users note that these resources are best suited as supplementary materials rather than full curricula, as they may lack depth in certain areas and require additional teaching support. The Backyard Explorer Kit is enjoyed for hands-on learning but is sometimes seen as more of a fun add-on than a rigorous science program. Overall, Workman offers good value for families seeking approachable, well-designed educational supplements.
