God bless you, Mss phillips. My words fall short to express what my heart feels to have such a blessing in my life. That is what your free amazing, godly and beautiful curriculums represent in my children's life as well. For someone like us, being a law income family in country like Nicaragua, trying to raise and homeschool billingual christian children without access to purchase your books, i almost cry when i knew you also allow parents to download such exellent books and now you even offer simply good and beautiful math for free too! All that hard work and dedication you have put into it. God bless you and your family, as well as every single people involved in the good and the beautiful. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for thinking about people like me and my kids.
Thank you for your sweet comment, Francine! We're so glad you and your family are enjoying all that The Good and the Beautiful has to offer. It is messages like this that keep us going and keep us focused on why we do what we do. We hope the curriculum continues to be a helpful resource for your family. May you be blessed in all the wonderful work you are doing with your family. 💛
I am a first year homeschool mom of 7 and 9 year old boys. I was scared of doing language arts with them until we found the good and the beautiful. It is so fun and easy to teach.
This looks amazing! My son placed in level 4 but the old edition was sold out so I bought him level 3 to “catch up” since we were coming from public school and wanted to make sure he knew his basics. He loves level 3 and is quickly moving through it so I am excited for him to start level 4!!
We are starting a small private homeschool and will be using The Good and the Beautiful Language arts next year. I downloaded levels 1-5 and am trying some of the exercises right now. What made me choose to go with this curriculum is that it mirrors the way that I teach already. I have always made my lessons very comprehensive, with attention being drawn to the connections between all of the academic subjects.
Thank you! We're so glad you are enjoying the curriculum! You may also find our collection of The Good and The Beautiful audiobooks useful for your students! It's another great free resource from The Good and The Beautiful! goodandbeautifulstorytime.com/
So excited about all the new changes! We love TGATB!! This is our 2nd year! I have even found this suitable for my dyslexic children and can be tailored to their needs. Way to go!❤️❤️❤️
@@susanroberts9117 for reading we take turns reading so we can discuss ask questions and that I know they are comprehending whats being read even for the personal reading(which would normally be independent). In writing the younger grades suggest to have the child dictate to you what to write. As they progress in development and writing skills(even in older grades) I will follow younger grades suggestion as I encourage them to gradually increase writing themselves as I see them getting stronger while still assisting. Meaning I will still do some of the writing if I see them struggling but encourage them to do all that they can. It is difficult for them to put words to paper. Also if writing is not an option there of course is recording or talk to text. Spelling I am not super strict on memorizing the rules we just do what we can there. Again in younger grades there are alot of suggestions on getting out of your seat for movement spelling. We use these fun suggestions even in older grades. Bouncing, finger spelling on the carpet, sidewalk chalk, writing words with expo markers on the window and more. I have even found that if I flex my voice making a rhythm and breaking the word up while spelling the word out loud has helped. So for example if the word is "impossible" I will say I m. Poss. ible....if that makes sense You can tweek it however you like and take 2 days to do language lesson of needed. I hope I haven't caused confusion and have been of some help. We love it and going on 4 years of using TGATB!!
when we discovered the good and the beautiful we litterly dropped what we were using and jumped in because it was a fight to get school done with my oldest too. my oldest absolutely did not like me but working through your books and levels its got the warnings/reminders whatever you wanna call it to not push them to far and to follow there cues and not just what the book says
This looks incredible! I cannot wait until my oldest is ready for this level of Language Arts! Thank you for providing such a thorough and thoughtful language arts program.
I absolutely love your curriculum!! It has help my family so much and it is so beautiful! My son is level 4 and I can’t wait to download this one as well! Thank you so much Jenny and team!!
So wonderful! Were planning on starting level 4 at the end of the month. I an so happy that I didn't print the previous version. Beautiful changes. I am glad to see the course book is in color! I had read somewhere that the previous version was in black and white. So excited to start this. Thank you for all of your efforts!
I'm so excited to get this new level 4! My daughter tried the older level 4 last year and I think it just seemed too difficult for her at the time. It was overwhelming to her, though she placed at that level. We're doing level 3 instead right now but I'm so looking forward to this new level 4!
My daughter is almost done with level 3 and we can't wait to get this! Thank you so much for all the hard work yall put into this we looove your curriculum !
Can't wait! I was going to ask about using just the workshop book for older kids & bam she answered it! I've got 2 kids that I am going to use the workshop for! My youngest isnt quite there yet(lv2).
This looks beautiful! We are currently in Level 3 after switching from another program, and my daughter is thriving. She LOVES the challenging word climb, as she feels she finally has a language arts challenge. We are so thrilled to have this new version of Level 4 to use next year.
I am beyond excited about this!! I purchased Level 4 in the spring because I was concerned about curriculum companies running out of stock (lucky foresight I guess 🙃), but I am absolutely willing to pay twice so we can finally experience a revised edition! We have no complaints with the older versions, but this looks amazing. Well done once again, TGATB!
Looks amazing. We were so blessed to find and use your free resources during the initial lockdown and we enjoyed it so much, and currently using part of Level 3. Being far away in Africa I was happy to just work with downloads, but this looks so beautiful I think I will be purchasing the books for grade four next year. Well done on the thought and heart you put into every aspect of the curriculum. God bless you! It’s people like you that gave me the courage to take the plunge into homeschooling this year😘🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
My Level four daughter has been asking why her work isn’t as “fun” as her younger sisters’ wondering if we could start this mid course, I think she would love it!
We hope your daughter loves the new Level 4 Course Set! You can absolutely start at any point, but we would suggest that you consider reviewing the lessons from the beginning to see if/how they can enhance your learning experience. Be sure to sign up for our newsletter to receive email updates! You can find it on our website, here: www.goodandbeautiful.com/
My two older kids were previously in private school, but we made the change to homeschool this year. They are in grades 5 & 6, but with being out of class for the last 4 months, I’m starting to discover just what they missed out on by not having a teacher to complete the original curriculum. My 6th grader is doing level 6 lessons, but many of the 5th grade dictations. I feel like they could both benefit from your suggestion of using this course to encourage a love of writing and to get a better grasp on spelling. Are you suggesting doing the whole course on its own, or just using the spelling and writing workshop book in addition to the level they’re at?
Thank you for your interest, Nicole! The new edition of Level 4 will be available as a free PDF download when the physical course set is released, so you can view the full course, including the table of contents, to help you make that decision with your child. Consider signing up for the newsletter on our website for all of the latest updates on our products in the meantime!
I have 6 special needs children that I will be homeschooling for the 1st time this year... lol yikes... God blessed me with them through adoption and I have never been more happy... so far we are loving the homeschool lifestyle of freedom and nature that it provides... anyway, I downloaded the free program from TGTB, (it is beautiful btw), but not sure where the best (not expensive) place to go to get it printed - I love the color and the spiral. Do you have any suggestions for a good printer company I can upload to? I am going to get the kids all level 4 because some are a bit ahead and some are a bit behind. Thank you for offering this download for free - very kind... especially for big families who need to save a buck. God Bless.
Hello Katt! We're so glad that you are enjoying all that The Good and the Beautiful has to offer! We are so glad you found the curriculum! If you are not planning to print at home, we would like to encourage you to request pricing up front to compare our prices to where you want to have it printed. We are much less expensive than all printers that we know of. We buy in bulk to get fantastic pricing and pass the savings along to you, since one of the points of our three-fold mission is to make homeschooling more affordable. Also, our quality is fantastic with high-quality paper; vibrant, high-resolution color; and film laminated covers. We truly want you to have the best price possible, so if you find somewhere less expensive to print it, that is wonderful. But if we can save you money, please let us! We hope you love it!
@@TheGoodandtheBeautiful Yeah, I saw that when I looked into it. I didn't realize printing was so expensive. I will for sure just place an order with you in a couple weeks. Thank you so much! :) God Bless!
Hello! Thank you for your interest. There are no revisions currently planned for this course. A new edition of Language Arts Level 4 was released on October 12, 2020 and this version is already in line with our Language Arts Level 3 course! We hope you love it!
Thank you for your interest! The current edition of Level 4 was released on October 12, 2020. The course books do not have lay flat binding. You can purchase a physical copy on our website now or download the full unit for free, here: www.goodandbeautiful.com/products/pre-k-8-language-arts-course-set-level-4/
As always this looks AMAZING!!! My son has always 'just missed' the new editions. Any idea when the download would be available? He saw the review and wants this one...need to decide if we put LA on hold or keep pressing on.
We're so glad to hear your son is interested in this new edition! It will be available on our website next week so check back soon. Also, consider signing up for the newsletter on our website to be notified, here: www.goodandbeautiful.com/
How much of the spelling and writing workbook is faith-based? I'm working with a secular family and improving spelling and writing are my primary goals.
Thank you for your interest in our curriculum! A few of our products are non-religious, you can find that list here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wudSX4BdSIjuxd4GV-rQdQZTc07a33LJs7Z3KasB8go/edit#gid=0 For this unit specifically, we suggest that you take a look a the sample pages or download the entire unit to see if it is a fit for your situation. We hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any further questions.
@@TheGoodandtheBeautiful That wasn't what I asked, but thank you for answering. We already use Level 4. I simply edit out the references to "bad books" and faith.
Love your curriculums can’t wait for this one to come out! Should I just switch over to this one? My son is currently on level 4 we love that it’s so easy to use.
With a completely new daily lesson format and an extensive revision of how and when concepts are introduced, the new edition is very different and does not match the old version lesson by lesson. The scope of the course has changed very little; but due to the large changes made, the sequence has changed. The new edition of Level 4 will be available as a free PDF download when the physical course set is released, so you can view the full course, including the table of contents, to find the best spot to start this course with your child. We hope you love it just as much!
Thank you for your interest! We are working out the details for updating additional levels but do not have exact dates available at this time, but it will be closer to the end of 2021. Please contact our customer support team by emailing support@goodandbeautiful.com for assistance with your purchase and to report any binding issues.
Thank you for your interest, Story! You do not need to complete both editions, but you can if you feel it will benefit your child in writing and spelling as Jenny mentioned at about 2:20 in the video. You would not need to continue the old edition of Level 4 once the new edition has been started. We hope you love it!
It says that the new course is easier and aligned more with its grade level. Will it then be too easy for my 5th grader to do? Are there things that students learn in 5th grade that aren't covered in the level 4 course anymore?
Hi Brittany! As we create new editions of language arts, we are aligning the instruction methods and layouts more toward grade level. We are focusing the lower levels more on reading, writing, and spelling. Many concepts are still considered advanced but they are introduced in lessons that are easier to follow for both the child (in the self-guided levels) and the parent (in levels 3 and under). We now save some of the more complex grammar concepts for higher levels, but grammar is still covered thoroughly. Our courses have increased, rather than decreased, in how thorough and rigorous they are for children as there is more learning woven into each and every lesson. We suggest that you take a look at the sample pages - or download the entire course set for free - on our website before making a decision on how to move forward. We hope this helps!
This looks wonderful! My son is in the middle of level 4, we'd love to try this new edition out. Are the same stories from the old edition in the new edition's reader?
Thank you for your interest! Yes, our new edition of Language Arts Level 5 is currently in piloting. We anticipate its release in October or November 2021. The free PDF download will be updated when the new edition is released. Please stayed tuned to our social media channels and sign up for our newsletter for the most up to date information on new releases.
We will only be starting level 4 in January, as my two boys first have to finish a dyslexia book series they are currently busy with. Will this new set still make use of the two additional readers Twenty and Ten, and (I can't remember the second's name now :( )? Will I still need to buy that, or does the reader cover all the stories they'll need for lessons?
Thank you for your interest Mrs. Van! The personal reader contains two new books and two books that were included in the original edition (Carlotta and The Belgian Twins). The Level 4 World Biographies Reader is brand new and the additional books used in the previous edition are not necessary for the current edition. The readers cover all the stories they'll need for the unit.
Currently in level 4. I don't want to start all the way over...that would be discouraging to my daughter. What if we skipped any spelling and writing sections in the old version and used the spelling/writing workshop book? We've already struggled with writing assignments.
We understand that, Angie. The scope and sequence for this course have changed, but you can transition by reviewing the free download to find the best place for your child to begin.
Is this new level going to be more teacher intensive like the lower grades? Or is it helping the child work on independent learning like the old level 4? I guess I’m the odd man out...I really love the old level 4 and so does my daughter. She really loves the creative companion. I hope this is a good change.
Thank you for your support, Jessica! We're so glad to hear how much you enjoyed the previous version of level 4. You are not alone as it was loved by many! The new editions are created with lessons that are easier to follow for both the child (in the self-guided levels) and the parent (in levels 3 and under). Our courses have increased, rather than decreased, in how thorough and rigorous they are for children as there is more learning woven into each and every lesson. We hope this helps!
Hello! We’re so glad you found us! Many customers use a 3-Ring binder or print pages as needed while others utilize their local print shop to have the printed pages spiral bound. We hope you find this helpful and invite you to check out our downloading and printing helps page for some great tips to print at home: www.goodandbeautiful.com/helps/
We are tracking just behind your update releases. My son is about 2/3 through the old level 4. I think I will print the writing and spelling workshop book for him to work on. We would LOVE to be a pilot family for level 5! How can we make that happen?
Thank you for your offer, Nicole! We are not seeking any additional families for the piloting program at this time but we appreciate your willingness to do so.
Yes, Peggy! You can find it on our website as a free download, here: www.goodandbeautiful.com/faq-help-extras/pre-k-8-curriculum-language-arts-level-4/

Hi! Thank you for your interest! The Course Book and the Spelling and Writing Workshop Book were created to be used in tandem, so they work best together, but yes, the Spelling and Writing Workshop Book can absolutely be used on its own with a few tweaks. You can always download the PDF version of the Course Book for free on the Good and the Beautiful website if you'd like to see exactly how it corresponds to the Spelling and Writing Workshop Book. www.goodandbeautiful.com/free-downloads/language-arts-level-4/
Thank you for your purchase! We continue to evaluate the best bindings for each of our course books and appreciate your feedback. We do have a note on our website that the Level 4 Course Book and Level 4 Spelling & Writing Workshops books have both transitioned to layflat binding. (No changes to content have been made). We also have an informative page on our website for breaking in layflat binding. We hope that you find it helpful. www.goodandbeautiful.com/bookbinding/ As a friendly reminder, many of our courses are free to download, with others available at an affordable cost so that you are able to print and bind as desired. While it many not be helpful now with the current book you have, we hope the information is helpful for your next purchase.
I have a 5th and 6th grader... would it work to just get the spelling and writing workshop? We need more work on those things. We are doing level 5 right now, but would love to add this in if it could stand alone from the rest of level 4. Thanks!
Than you for your interest! It is possible, but we suggest that you take a look at the samples available on our website to make a final decision on what is best for your family. The workbooks work best when used together but can be separated. We hope this helps!
Can you please talk A bit more about the pastels? I wish I would’ve know to get a set for our class because it was sort of confusing to have all these lessons randomly and needing pastels it felt like
Thank you for your interest, Sunny! Art projects using chalk pastels are included in several lessons. This is just one of the unique features found in this course. Details about the additional items needed for any additional activities can be found in the About This Course section of the Level 4 Language Arts Course Book. You can learn more about the unique activities at about the 6:25 mark in the video. Not every lesson will have an activity as they are sprinkled throughout the course. We hope you love it!
Thank you for your interest! The course set is available for purchase on our website now. The Answer Key will be added shortly. Check back again soon for an update!
Thank you, Daniela! We are excited to release the new edition of Level 4 next week. You'll find it here, once available: www.goodandbeautiful.com/products/pre-k-8-language-arts-course-set-level-4/
Hello Claudia! Yes, the Language Arts Level 4 Answer Key can be found on the FAQs, Helps, and Extras tab of our Level 4 product page. We hope you enjoy the course!
Thank you Kacie! We love the Creative Companion too, but the replacement is in full color - along with the updated Course Book. You're sure to love it too!
We are so glad you found us! We suggest that you start on this page of our website to watch the short video and download the checklist, then have your children take the assessments for Math and Language Arts (look for the tabs after the checklist) to determine the best fit for your child. The homeschool experience usually allows children to progress at a faster rate. The Good and the Beautiful curriculum is carefully designed to pack a lot of learning into a short period of time while keeping difficult subjects understandable. Thus, our curriculum tends to progress at a faster rate than public school curriculum. Children going from public school to The Good and the Beautiful tend to start at a lower level than they would expect, but they also tend to progress very quickly. Our grade comparison chart is as follows: Level 4: 4th Grade/5th Grade Please let us know if you have any further questions.
What is the issue with the binding? I’ve seen a lot of comments on this. Im waiting on my level 3 to arrive, and I would like to know what I need to look out for. Thanks
@@melissab7996 the pages fall out! It’s SO frustrating! There’s a place left open, in the binding so the binding doesn’t fully close! I wish they wld use a spiral binding instead of the metal binding. Once you start using the level you ordered, you will see what I’m talking about.
My two kids are writers now because of this course ❤

We truly want you to have the best price possible, so if you find somewhere less expensive to print it, that is wonderful. But if we can save you money, please let us! We hope you love it!
@@TheGoodandtheBeautiful Yeah, I saw that when I looked into it. I didn't realize printing was so expensive. I will for sure just place an order with you in a couple weeks. Thank you so much! :) God Bless!
Hi there is this getting redone for fall 2024? We are on level 3 now and just thinking ahead!
Hello! Thank you for your interest. There are no revisions currently planned for this course. A new edition of Language Arts Level 4 was released on October 12, 2020 and this version is already in line with our Language Arts Level 3 course! We hope you love it!
This looks so awesome! Are you in the process of revising any of the other Language Arts?
Wow! We are in level 1 & 5 but this is gorgeous!
Will the updated Level 4 get the new lay flat binding?
Thank you for your interest! The current edition of Level 4 was released on October 12, 2020. The course books do not have lay flat binding. You can purchase a physical copy on our website now or download the full unit for free, here: www.goodandbeautiful.com/products/pre-k-8-language-arts-course-set-level-4/
SOOO excited for this!!
I cannot wait to get my hands on this 🙌
As always this looks AMAZING!!! My son has always 'just missed' the new editions. Any idea when the download would be available? He saw the review and wants this one...need to decide if we put LA on hold or keep pressing on.
We're so glad to hear your son is interested in this new edition! It will be available on our website next week so check back soon. Also, consider signing up for the newsletter on our website to be notified, here: www.goodandbeautiful.com/
How much of the spelling and writing workbook is faith-based? I'm working with a secular family and improving spelling and writing are my primary goals.
Thank you for your interest in our curriculum! A few of our products are non-religious, you can find that list here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wudSX4BdSIjuxd4GV-rQdQZTc07a33LJs7Z3KasB8go/edit#gid=0 For this unit specifically, we suggest that you take a look a the sample pages or download the entire unit to see if it is a fit for your situation. We hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any further questions.
@@TheGoodandtheBeautiful That wasn't what I asked, but thank you for answering. We already use Level 4. I simply edit out the references to "bad books" and faith.
@@damienknudson4504 So kind.
Love your curriculums can’t wait for this one to come out! Should I just switch over to this one? My son is currently on level 4 we love that it’s so easy to use.
With a completely new daily lesson format and an extensive revision of how and when concepts are introduced, the new edition is very different and does not match the old version lesson by lesson. The scope of the course has changed very little; but due to the large changes made, the sequence has changed.
The new edition of Level 4 will be available as a free PDF download when the physical course set is released, so you can view the full course, including the table of contents, to find the best spot to start this course with your child. We hope you love it just as much!
The Good and the Beautiful thank you!
I love this! I can't wait. :-)
Are you updating all the LA? Will you be fixing the binding?
Thanks for the video!
Thank you for your interest! We are working out the details for updating additional levels but do not have exact dates available at this time, but it will be closer to the end of 2021. Please contact our customer support team by emailing support@goodandbeautiful.com for assistance with your purchase and to report any binding issues.
This is so beautiful. Will it be wrong to do this edition and the old edition??
Might add a little but I was thinking the same thing! Especially for the spelling book 👍
Thank you for your interest, Story! You do not need to complete both editions, but you can if you feel it will benefit your child in writing and spelling as Jenny mentioned at about 2:20 in the video. You would not need to continue the old edition of Level 4 once the new edition has been started. We hope you love it!
Aww I wanted to see inside the readers
You can see inside the readers next week, and for free, when the PDF download is released with the unit.
Will there still be geography and grammar cards?
It says that the new course is easier and aligned more with its grade level. Will it then be too easy for my 5th grader to do? Are there things that students learn in 5th grade that aren't covered in the level 4 course anymore?
Hi Brittany! As we create new editions of language arts, we are aligning the instruction methods and layouts more toward grade level. We are focusing the lower levels more on reading, writing, and spelling. Many concepts are still considered advanced but they are introduced in lessons that are easier to follow for both the child (in the self-guided levels) and the parent (in levels 3 and under). We now save some of the more complex grammar concepts for higher levels, but grammar is still covered thoroughly. Our courses have increased, rather than decreased, in how thorough and rigorous they are for children as there is more learning woven into each and every lesson. We suggest that you take a look at the sample pages - or download the entire course set for free - on our website before making a decision on how to move forward. We hope this helps!
This looks wonderful! My son is in the middle of level 4, we'd love to try this new edition out. Are the same stories from the old edition in the new edition's reader?
Thank you for your interest, Carmen! There are a few stories that are the same but we are certain that you will enjoy the new additions as well!
Amazing updates! We are working through Level 4 now (old version). Will there be a similar update to Level 5?
Thank you for your interest! Yes, our new edition of Language Arts Level 5 is currently in piloting. We anticipate its release in October or November 2021. The free PDF download will be updated when the new edition is released.
Please stayed tuned to our social media channels and sign up for our newsletter for the most up to date information on new releases.
We will only be starting level 4 in January, as my two boys first have to finish a dyslexia book series they are currently busy with. Will this new set still make use of the two additional readers Twenty and Ten, and (I can't remember the second's name now :( )? Will I still need to buy that, or does the reader cover all the stories they'll need for lessons?
Thank you for your interest Mrs. Van! The personal reader contains two new books and two books that were included in the original edition (Carlotta and The Belgian Twins). The Level 4 World Biographies Reader is brand new and the additional books used in the previous edition are not necessary for the current edition. The readers cover all the stories they'll need for the unit.
This is so beautiful!!!
Currently in level 4. I don't want to start all the way over...that would be discouraging to my daughter. What if we skipped any spelling and writing sections in the old version and used the spelling/writing workshop book? We've already struggled with writing assignments.
We understand that, Angie. The scope and sequence for this course have changed, but you can transition by reviewing the free download to find the best place for your child to begin.
Is this new level going to be more teacher intensive like the lower grades? Or is it helping the child work on independent learning like the old level 4? I guess I’m the odd man out...I really love the old level 4 and so does my daughter. She really loves the creative companion. I hope this is a good change.
Thank you for your support, Jessica! We're so glad to hear how much you enjoyed the previous version of level 4. You are not alone as it was loved by many! The new editions are created with lessons that are easier to follow for both the child (in the self-guided levels) and the parent (in levels 3 and under). Our courses have increased, rather than decreased, in how thorough and rigorous they are for children as there is more learning woven into each and every lesson. We hope this helps!
For those of you who print off the materials for free. How to you bind it all together?
Hello! We’re so glad you found us! Many customers use a 3-Ring binder or print pages as needed while others utilize their local print shop to have the printed pages spiral bound. We hope you find this helpful and invite you to check out our downloading and printing helps page for some great tips to print at home: www.goodandbeautiful.com/helps/
I would love to see a 'long video on how we teach writing' :)
We are tracking just behind your update releases. My son is about 2/3 through the old level 4. I think I will print the writing and spelling workshop book for him to work on. We would LOVE to be a pilot family for level 5! How can we make that happen?
Thank you for your offer, Nicole! We are not seeking any additional families for the piloting program at this time but we appreciate your willingness to do so.
Is there an answer key for the curriculum ? Thank you
Yes, Peggy! You can find it on our website as a free download, here: www.goodandbeautiful.com/faq-help-extras/pre-k-8-curriculum-language-arts-level-4/
Would this be more geared to fifth grade or more towards fourth grade now?
I would like to know this as well!

This all looks amazing. Can the spelling and writing workshops book be done by itself? Without the set
Hi! Thank you for your interest! The Course Book and the Spelling and Writing Workshop Book were created to be used in tandem, so they work best together, but yes, the Spelling and Writing Workshop Book can absolutely be used on its own with a few tweaks. You can always download the PDF version of the Course Book for free on the Good and the Beautiful website if you'd like to see exactly how it corresponds to the Spelling and Writing Workshop Book.
www.goodandbeautiful.com/free-downloads/language-arts-level-4/
@@TheGoodandtheBeautiful Awesome! Thank you!
Ordered these and was bummed they are not spiral bound. That would have been so amazing. ☹️
Thank you for your purchase! We continue to evaluate the best bindings for each of our course books and appreciate your feedback. We do have a note on our website that the Level 4 Course Book and Level 4 Spelling & Writing Workshops books have both transitioned to layflat binding. (No changes to content have been made). We also have an informative page on our website for breaking in layflat binding. We hope that you find it helpful.
www.goodandbeautiful.com/bookbinding/
As a friendly reminder, many of our courses are free to download, with others available at an affordable cost so that you are able to print and bind as desired. While it many not be helpful now with the current book you have, we hope the information is helpful for your next purchase.
I have a 5th and 6th grader... would it work to just get the spelling and writing workshop? We need more work on those things. We are doing level 5 right now, but would love to add this in if it could stand alone from the rest of level 4. Thanks!
Than you for your interest! It is possible, but we suggest that you take a look at the samples available on our website to make a final decision on what is best for your family. The workbooks work best when used together but can be separated. We hope this helps!
Can you please talk
A bit more about the pastels? I wish I would’ve know to get a set for our class because it was sort of confusing to have all these lessons randomly and needing pastels it felt like
Thank you for your interest, Sunny! Art projects using chalk pastels are included in several lessons. This is just one of the unique features found in this course. Details about the additional items needed for any additional activities can be found in the About This Course section of the Level 4 Language Arts Course Book. You can learn more about the unique activities at about the 6:25 mark in the video. Not every lesson will have an activity as they are sprinkled throughout the course. We hope you love it!
Looks amazing, as expected! ❤ Maybe I missed this, but when is it available?
Thank you Amber! It will be available next week. We hope you love it!
@@TheGoodandtheBeautiful , I know we will. Thank you!
How does a family become a pilot family? We would be interested if it was ever an option (for any subject).
PS this looks amazing, as always!! ❤️❤️❤️
Sorry if I missed it, but where would the answer key be? Is it in the course book or in PDF form? Thank you.
Thank you for your interest! The course set is available for purchase on our website now. The Answer Key will be added shortly. Check back again soon for an update!
Absolutely gorgeous as always. when will this be available on your website ?
Thank you, Daniela! We are excited to release the new edition of Level 4 next week. You'll find it here, once available: www.goodandbeautiful.com/products/pre-k-8-language-arts-course-set-level-4/
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE RECOMMEND A GOOD PRINTING COMPANY?? Thank you sooooooo much!!! 🙏🏻♥️
Barnes and Nobles Press.
Hi, is there an answer key book for L/A level 4?
Hello Claudia! Yes, the Language Arts Level 4 Answer Key can be found on the FAQs, Helps, and Extras tab of our Level 4 product page. We hope you enjoy the course!
@@TheGoodandtheBeautifulHappy Monday. Thank you for your response.
Does it come with an answer key?
Yes, Ruth! The Language Arts Level 4 Answer Key can be found on the Language Arts Level 4 FAQ's, Helps, & Extras page.
Looks wonderful.
When will this be able to purchase
Thank you for your interest, Pamela! It is scheduled to release next week. We hope you love it!
Will u be doing a new level 5 Lang arts? ☝one more question.. The levels wrk like for 'level 4' is actually for 4th or 5th grade right?
Yes, my understanding it level 4 is for 4th-5th grade. They have a page on their website that goes over the levels and grade level.
@@heatheraz4680 ty
@Jenny Phillips👏 okay, ty so much!! Can't wait! 😍
No more creative companion?
This looks fabulous!
Thank you Kacie! We love the Creative Companion too, but the replacement is in full color - along with the updated Course Book. You're sure to love it too!
Hello is level 4? Fourth grade.
We are so glad you found us! We suggest that you start on this page of our website to watch the short video and download the checklist, then have your children take the assessments for Math and Language Arts (look for the tabs after the checklist) to determine the best fit for your child.
The homeschool experience usually allows children to progress at a faster rate. The Good and the Beautiful curriculum is carefully designed to pack a lot of learning into a short period of time while keeping difficult subjects understandable. Thus, our curriculum tends to progress at a faster rate than public school curriculum. Children going from public school to The Good and the Beautiful tend to start at a lower level than they would expect, but they also tend to progress very quickly.
Our grade comparison chart is as follows:
Level 4: 4th Grade/5th Grade
Please let us know if you have any further questions.
So this wouldn’t replace handwriting? It looks more like writing styles rather than handwriting.
Oh how fun!
We LOVE the curriculum, but DISLIKE the binding!!!!!!!
What is the issue with the binding? I’ve seen a lot of comments on this. Im waiting on my level 3 to arrive, and I would like to know what I need to look out for.
Thanks
@@melissab7996 the pages fall out! It’s SO frustrating! There’s a place left open, in the binding so the binding doesn’t fully close! I wish they wld use a spiral binding instead of the metal binding. Once you start using the level you ordered, you will see what I’m talking about.
@@jillhaselden8313 You can prevent this by squeezing the wire binding closer together
