This is an in-depth look inside the Letters + Numbers 1 by Gather 'Round Homeschool. One of the newest offerings from Gather 'Round, this program is specifically designed at a preschool-age level. Letters + Numbers will be a 4 book series, with the rest of the 3 books slated to be released between now and the end of 2020. The first 2 books focus on introducing all 26 letters of the alphabet, along with numbers 0-10.

But don't be confused that this program ONLY teaches Letters + Numbers! It is designed as an all-inclusive preschool program, including Science, Bible, Social Studies, Art, Fine Motor Skills, and Life Skills.

  • I have a 1year old. But he knows some letters and numbers. Love love love the biblical aspect of these lessons. Your right I like how your saying the lessons are incorporating the whole bible, not one testament or the other. Your a wonderful mom and may God continue to bless your family.❤️❤️❤️❤️
  • @TheseDays
    Thank you for going into detail! I’m really thinking about getting this curriculum!
  • @SwittyKiwi

  • @StaceyYoder
    This looks so cute. Love hearing more about it.
  • Thanks for the detailed look inside Gathered Round. This is a great idea...we are learning spanish as a family so I think I will grab Story Book in Spanish!
  • @sklanguage589
    Yes, helpful. I need inspiration. I was especially paying attention to how you encorporate Spanish.
  • @GFamilyThai
    These books are the first book that all child needed to have.
  • @BellyBurly87
    I thought they looked expensive but as you say it includes so much so it's probably worth the money. I think mixing the new and old testament like that is really good. Your right normally it's either old or new testament with things x
  • @parislynn1122
    Did you print and spiral yourself? If so what punch binder and coils did you use?
  • Thanks for the info! What age is your preschooler that you're using this with? Doing some tot school with my youngest, and not sure when I might move to something more indepth like this.
  • @MaryPinkHair
    I say don't rush kids.... I mean there is so much more to learn besides reading writing and arithmetic. (a rat in the house might eat the ice cream) How long do you think I have been remembering that? I'm 73 yrs old. School was easy compared to what else we were learning.
