Homeschool+: An Online Learning Program For Kids
Homeschool+ is an online learning program for kids ages 4-8 from Age of Learning (also the creators of ABCmouse and Adventure Academy).
Main Parts of Homeschool+:
- My Reading Academy
- My Math Academy
- Arts, Sciences, and General Knowledge
- Lesson Planner
- Extended Fun and Learning Content: Books, Games, Art Activities, Puzzles Videos
Both the Reading and Math Academies offer an adaptive learning experience. It is truly customized based on each child’s understanding of reading and math. When your child first begins the program, in both the reading and the math sections, it will begin by walking them through some activities to assess where they are at in each subject.
My Reading Academy
The My Reading Academy does a comprehensive job of teaching things like letter sounds, splitting words into syllables, world families, word recognition, reading and comprehension and so much more! The program is designed to take your child to full reading comprehension.
My Math Academy
The My Math Academy assessment begins with simple 1-10 number recognition and works its way up to things like number order, the 100 chart and more, all done through game-based learning to make it fun and engaging. After completing the assessment, Homeschool+ provides lessons and activities customized to your student.
Arts, Sciences, and General Knowledge
For the 1st and 2nd grade learners there is even more content!
This part includes 12 separate courses:
- Grammar and Writing

Each course contains online lessons as well as printable offline lesson plans (I’ll tell you more about this in a little bit) to accompany the online lesson. This is such a cool feature of this program!
