How the Shelf Score was applied

The Shelf Score weighs fit for the reader, contents and edition, value, and the listed reading age or level where one is given. Only the preschool pick states a level; the other picks state no reading age or grade level. How we pick explains the weights.

Scores run from 9.2 to 9.8: each book’s point total is placed on that range, so more points always means a higher score. Reading age or level counts on a list where at least one listing gives one, and a book whose listing gives none then scores zero on it. Where no listing gives one, the score is taken over the other 85 points. Books carry no warranty, so warranty is not scored.

How to choose the best non christian homeschool curriculum

Check the theme before the format

A secular search returns faith-based listings, so read the title and description for theme. The Call of the Wild and Free centers nature and reading, while The Magic of Childhood is a Christian curriculum for preschoolers and 120 Bible Stories is a Bible stories collection. For more curriculum lists, browse all homeschool curriculum lists and all workbooks and homeschool lists.

Match the level and the length

The preschool pick states a preschool level, while the other picks state no reading age or grade level. A 336 page guide suits a parent planning a homeschool approach, while 15 posters suit a wall display rather than daily lessons. Check the print length and the stated level before buying.

Before you buy

• Check whether the pick is a guide, a poster set, or a curriculum.
• Check the theme of each pick, since this list mixes a nature-based guide with Christian titles.
• Check the stated level against the reader and the print length.
