2015 Schoolhouse Review Crew Blue Ribbon Winners!

It is that time of year again! The time the Schoolhouse Review Crew team members get to vote on their favorite products, resources, and curriculum from the 2015 Crew Year.  We had some amazing vendors this year! I’ll be sharing both the official winner and if I had a different choice, I’ll share that too! I’m only including some of the winners in my post. You can visit the Schoolhouse Review Crew to see the full list of winners!

Favorite Reading Curriculum: Reading Kingdom. ~ This was Supergirl’s choice! She loves Reading Kingdom!

Favorite Writing Curriculum: Institute for Excellence in Writing.  This is my favorite!  I love IEW.

Favorite Spelling Program: Institute for Excellence in Writing: Phonetic Zoo.  We did not review a spelling program this year but I have heard such excellent things about Phonetic Zoo!

Favorite Grammar Program: Institute for Excellence in Writing: Fix-It! Grammar.  This was part of the Deluxe Combo that some reviewers received.  I reviewed Fix-It! Grammar last year.

Favorite Literature Curriculum: Progeny Press. This was the first year that the Crew reviewed Progeny Press and I didn’t!  I have reviewed Screwtape Letters along with Bow of Bronze and then I reviewed the Hobbit. Most recently I reviewed The Hunger Games along with The Courage of Sarah Noble.  Since I didn’t review it, I couldn’t vote for it.  I voted for Sharon Watson’s  Illuminating Literature: When Worlds Collide.

Favorite History Curriculum: Home School in the Woods. We did not review Amy Pak’s products in 2015 but we did in 2013. I reviewed Great Empires. For this crew year I voted for Homeschool Legacy.

Favorite Science Curriculum: Visual Learning Systems. This was Supergirl’s Favorite! She loves Digital Online Science!

Favorite Math Curriculum: CTC Math.

Favorite Math Supplement: SimplyFun.  We did not review either game from SimplyFun. We voted for Super Teacher Worksheets as I had been using it as a supplement for Supergirl’s math studies.

Favorite Christian Education Curriculum: Grapevine Studies. This is a wonderful study!  Did you catch my review? It’s perfect for the advent season!

Favorite Foreign Language Curriculum: Middlebury Interactive Language. Turtlegirl loves High School French!

Favorite Fine Arts Product: Maestro Classics.  Supergirl continues to listen to The Nutcracker nearly every day.

Favorite Video: FishFlix.com.  We did not review any of the videos from FishFlix.com. Supergirl’s favorite are the videos from SmartKidz Media.

Favorite Preschool Product: La La Logic. *Sh* don’t tell Supergirl that it won Preschool Product. Seriously though, this is great for early elementary as well. Did you read my review?

Favorite High School Product: Writing with Sharon Watson.  When Worlds Collide was a product I didn’t know I needed! Definitely a favorite here in multiple categories!

Favorite College or College-Prep Product: Freedom Project Education.  I did not review this one.  For our family it was a tie between When Worlds Collide from Sharon Watson and The Critical Thinking Co.’s Practical Critical Thinking.

Favorite Parent Product: Koru Naturals. I am so glad that we got to review the Emu Oil along with the Shampoo and Conditioner and then to review Koru again with three more great products including my now favorite honey soap and Turtlegirl’s favorite Skin Clear Cream!

Best Online Resource: Super Teacher Worksheets.  Supergirl agrees!

Just for Fun: USAopoly.  Wonky Cube was our favorite of the two!

All Around Crew Favorite: Institute for Excellence in Writing.  I was so blessed to review the brand new edition of the Teaching Writing Structure and Style and Three Resources this year!
