Review: Reading Kingdom Online from Reading Kingdom | Crystal Starr Blog Reading Kingdom Online from Reading Kingdom is an online program for 4 to 10 year old children that can teach them to read up to a 3rd grade level.

Being on the TOS Review Crew is such a blessing. The things I receive really fill out our curriculum. I've discovered some amazing products through my time on the crew that I might not have ever heard of and probably wouldn't have ever spent the money on (because I wouldn't have understood how great they were). I also love that it gives me a knowledge base of what is out there and how it works so that I can help other homeschool moms (via the internet or in my local community) make good decisions for their children. I'm very passionate about helping other moms in their homeschool journey. If you have a blog you should considering applying and becoming a crew member too.

Review: Homeschool Planet by Homeschool Buyers Co-op | Crystal Starr Blog I have been on what has felt like the never ending hunt for the PERFECT homeschooler planner for years.
