We do not use a separate secular reading curriculum from our secular language arts curriculum. Our language arts curriculum have always been great literature curricula.

What is Secular Curriculum?

Secular curriculum only discusses religious beliefs from an anthropological perspective. It is not faith-neutral (this becomes important especially when discussing science and history curricula). It does not posit biblical/religious beliefs as historical fact.

What is Secular Reading Curriculum?

It is a reading curriculum that does not mention religious beliefs.

My children are avid readers, I once came across a book I thought my oldest would enjoy, only to learn, from her, that it had a big Christian spin to it. This is not a secular book.

If you find you are unable to find a curriculum that isn’t meeting your needs, think about what it is you are looking for. Are you looking for great books about history that you can learn from? Can you find the book you want and then create lesson plans around it? Homeschool moms are resourceful, think outside the box Momma and make it happen for your family.

    many of these curricula are used in faith-based households as well. isn’t it interesting how different ways of thinking can still use the same products?
