Question 1

What should a typical curriculum for 2nd-graders cover?

Accepted Answer

A well-rounded 2nd-grade curriculum focuses on developing independent reading habits, advanced phonics, and multi-digit math concepts. Timberdoodle's 2nd-grade homeschool curriculum expands on these basics by incorporating historical studies of the medieval world, animal biology, spatial logic puzzles, and foundational art appreciation.

Question 2

How do I know whether to choose the Basic, Complete, or Elite 2nd-grade curriculum kit?

Accepted Answer

Basic Kits focus strictly on core subjects—perfect if you want a minimalist approach or want to add your own electives. Complete Kits add essential enrichment, including our signature thinking skills, history, and introductory STEM components. Elite Kits offer the ultimate, stress-free 2nd-grade homeschool curriculum experience, packed with extra hands-on building tools, comprehensive art projects, and deep-dive learning materials to keep high-energy second graders fully engaged.

Question 3

What's faith-based about the Classic edition?

Accepted Answer

We pick every item in this kit against one standard: is it the best thing we can find for a child this age? At this grade level, the materials that won that test don't carry religious content either way — so the Classic and Nonreligious kits contain the same items. The single difference is the handbook, where the Classic edition's suggested reading list includes Christian titles. We flag that difference carefully. We serve charter school families who aren't permitted to buy materials containing religious content, so we label anything that carries any — even a reading list tucked inside a handbook. We'd rather over-label than let a family order something their program isn't allowed to buy. You'll also notice there's no Bible course in the kit. That's deliberate. We believe Bible study is too important to become one more subject to check off — what your family studies should flex with your children's ages, what they're wrestling with, and what your church is walking through this year. A boxed Bible curriculum can't do that. We've written more about how we think about it here:  The Bible: It's Not Just Curriculum .

Question 4

How much time does it take to do the 2nd grade kit each day?

Accepted Answer

We asked parents who used our 2nd Grade Kit how long their student spent on "school,” and they estimated that their students spent 1-4 hours a day on their kit, working 4-5 days a week. That variation is likely to be impacted by how in-depth you take your child's studies, what your child's learning approach is, how distractible he is, and much more.

Question 5

How Do You Know If Your Child Is Ready for the Next Kit?

Accepted Answer

Not sure if it’s time to move up? Totally normal! A great place to start is with our  Placement Tests . We have complete tests for younger kiddos to show exactly where they are. For older students, you’ll want to focus on the  math and language arts  sections to get a good feel for their readiness. Kids are usually ready to jump into the next kit—with maybe a few exceptions. If your child is heading into 3rd grade but places into 2nd-grade math, no problem! You might want to grab the 3rd-grade kit and simply swap out the math. If a subject didn’t stick last year, now’s your chance to figure out why. Maybe your child just missed a few concepts (hello, summer review!). Maybe the curriculum didn’t click. Maybe math just isn’t his jam (yet). Or maybe he needs a little extra support—and that’s okay! One of the best things about homeschooling? You’re not locked into a one-size-fits-all timeline. You can customize learning to fit your child and help them succeed at their own pace. Ready to start exploring? We’re  here to help  every step of the way!

Question 6

Are Timberdoodle Kits Accredited?

Accepted Answer

Nope—and that's totally normal! Here's the deal:  Accreditation  is for schools, not curriculum. Your local school district might be accredited, but their textbooks aren't. Accreditation looks at things like teacher degrees and classroom hours, not the books or materials being used. And since Timberdoodle kits aren't a school—they're a collection of awesome learning tools—there's nothing to accredit. If you see a homeschool program claiming to be "accredited," just remember: it's the  school  that's accredited, not the curriculum. And don't worry— no state requires homeschool curriculum to be accredited . (Phew!) What you  really  want to know is: "Will Timberdoodle meet my state's homeschool requirements?" In most cases, the answer is  yes —we meet or beat what's needed! However, every state's rules are a little different, so we recommend checking yours. (We even have a  quick cheat sheet  to help!) Still scratching your head?  Reach out —we'd love to help you figure it out!

Question 7

What awards have Timberdoodle Kits won?

Accepted Answer

We've been honored with more than 40 awards from top homeschooling resources over the years. We're talking about the  Practical Homeschooling Reader Awards ,  The Old Schoolhouse Excellence in Education Awards , and  Cathy Duffy's Top Picks.  Our  Elementary Curriculum ,  High School Curriculum ,  Kindergarten ,  Middle School Curriculum , and  Preschool/Readiness  kits have all earned top awards. We've also been recognized for our  Boxed Curriculum  and even for being  Most Unique.  These awards are a testament to how much our customers love our kits! Winning them means receiving very high satisfaction ratings from YOU, our amazing homeschooling families. It truly shows that the time and effort we put into creating comprehensive and engaging curriculum pays off!
