Robinson Curriculum
Curriculum
Introduction
An overwhelmed parent asks, “Can someone tell me what is RC? I am new and I keep hearing about it.”
Answer: It’s a printing curriculum delivered digitally. It’s centered around the Robinson self-teaching methodology. The student’s day is pretty straight forward.
- A lesson of math – they mark their own work against the Answer Key.
- A page of writing – on any topic they want. You mark it for errors.
- A few vocabulary words – use flashcards or the vocabulary exercises.
- A couple of chapters of reading – they go from Book 1 – 150 over time.
That’s it. The next day they pick up where they left off the day before. As you implement the Course of Study and they mature, they become self-taught, active, independent learners.
As the parent you print out the books from our curriculum as needed and the student works from that printed material. Buy them a notebook to do their math in and another to do their writing in. Instruct them to put the date at the top of each page as they go along. These notebooks will act as a complete record of their work.
Saxon Math is recommended. The free Saxon Math Placement Exams will tell you which book to start them in. Before Saxon 54 they would need to learn their math facts by rote memory using randomly ordered flashcards. The excellent Ray’s Arithmetic math curriculum is included free of charge.
It costs just $195 for all the kids, all the subjects, all 12 years, and is getting better all the time. The only thing you need is your phone or tablet or laptop and the recommended printer. It prints a 300 page book for just 60 cents worth of ink.
