In my opinion I loved the spiral cause it lays flat but ours too are coming apart which is a challenge. I love the watercolor aspect, that alone makes me want to get LA 5.
I do like the individual books rather than a huge reader! My kids will like that too. That separate art watercolor book looks great too! That New Concept bubble was so needed! I'm guessing the lesson book prompts you when to do the art work?
I printed the PDF of the watercolor on watercolor paper. Kiddos have enjoyed it. Anyone else just want the box the books come in?? They make it so appealing. Thank you for the flip through!!
Man, I wish their Level 3 would be released this summer, but I know it is coming. We love the older, but the new ones makes me smile lol Can't wait to jump into fully with TGTB LA this coming year and thank you for the encouragement!!
Thank you for sharing this. My kids are younger. But, it’s so encouraging knowing we have picked a curriculum company who is always improving. Not even from a financial standpoint but they are truly listening to feedback from the users. Their curriculum is just amazing compared to others I’ve looked at.
I'm anxiously awaiting the release of level 1! We've been using All About Reading with some success, but adding in so many other parts of ELA - I'm really looking forward to the updated levels!
I've been just printing everything out though, and probably will with the free LA version, and just purchase the books and 'extras.' As much as the paper and printing quality is better - I think not having it bound like this, would make it a lot easier for my kids to write in the book.
We did not get an answer key with our level 5 language arts course set. According to the website it is a separate purchase for 12.99, but you can get it for free as a PDF download.
Over here wishing I had a child in level 5 😅 it looks great! I love that TG&TB always tries to make their courses better and listens to families! We just got the new Prek course and science for littles so that's still exciting! 😅🙌
Our oldest son will be in level 5 next year, and he is so excited for it! He loves this curriculum and we are really looking forward to the changes they've made. He's most excited for the water color activities. This will be our 4th year using TGTB for LA and we are so impressed with it.
I waited for so long for this one!! Don’t even care that my now 5th grader will continue with it into 6th (until he finishes). By that time, hopefully new level 6 will be available! New one is gorgeous and SO streamlined!
As a teacher, I have loved the Good and the Beautiful, but its not my daughter's jam😭 it makes me so sad, but my youngest has enjoyed the pre k version, so I hope he will continue to love it!!
@@lydiazook4615 Yes, basically the things I loved about the curriculum ( beautiful artwork, multiple subjects in the same workbook) were the problem. She has ADD and dyslexia. She finds all the visuals, and multiple subjects together, overwhelming. My little one doesn't seem to have those learning challenges at this point and enjoyed the pre k curriculum. I wish it had worked for my daughter, but you have to use what works for each specific child. And that's one of the blessings of homeschooling!!
Thank you for this! I am going to rush purchase the 6th grade level NOW because I prefer the current layout. Had I not seen this update, I would have been bummed to receive the new edition with these changes.
I definitely like the new, colorful organized layout. I also really like the answer key being separate. I don't even mind that the new editions are grade level and not advanced. But with that I really hope they consider making a Level 8 and not force people to use book studies as a course for 8th grade. Tsmfs.
We used to homeschool and we used TGAB in their early days.... Can you make a video for summer studies I can do with my 5th grader daughter? Thank you!
I’m a first time homeschooling mom and was wondering if the free curriculum download comes with everything you showed. That would be so helpful if it is all included.
My daughter is excited for the new level 5! The watercolour looks like so much fun! I’d purchase now, but going to wait until level 1 is released.. being in a Canada, shipping and duty prices are quite high. Other than that… we LOVE TGATB and have enjoyed your videos on them!
Since you have used it through high school, does it ever deviate from teaching about Europe? I’ve been using it since level k and currently in level 4. They learned about North America briefly but there is a noticeable trend towards Europe.
Great comparison video. I love that they are changing the binding and making it more colorful. Do you know if they are going to change all the levels? I’m going to buy level 3 but now I’m wondering if I should wait.
Do you feel like you could do the majority of level 5 if you decide to skip one or two of the books that come with it? We are a couple weeks in and enjoying it but my son is not Enjoying the book.
Are the geography and grammar cards updated for content or do they just have an updated look? I have an old set from my son who started the cards a couple years ago and I'm wondering if I should get a new set for my child starting level 5 next year.
Appreciate your great advice. As a new mom to homeschooling I need all the help I can get.Which worldly wise are you using for your sixth grader? Next school year my daughter enters sixth grade, that work book looks interesting to me. Thank you 😊
Do you feel that this curriculum has enough spelling as a stand alone or would you add something to it? This will be our first year doing The Good and Beautiful language arts. We currently have 5 different books to get language arts done.
Now on our year 3 of TGAB LA, we have started to switch some of the books out.Although they are worked into it, we have not found it to be a big problem.
We switched from Saxon to Simply Good and Beautiful Math and we have all enjoyed math more! Saxon was bogging my ten year old son down with too much writing. Do the LA coordinate with grade levels mostly? We haven’t done their LA. Do we need to buy their readers with the LA or are we able to use ones we choose?
You were a big reason why we switched to TGTB curriculum! I can't wait for my kiddos to get to level 5! The watercolor lessons look amazing.
I love the flip throughs. They really help. Thanks!
In my opinion I loved the spiral cause it lays flat but ours too are coming apart which is a challenge. I love the watercolor aspect, that alone makes me want to get LA 5.
Love love love the changes… excited for my son using level 5 next year! Yes all the flip thrus please🙂
I just wish you could choose the binding preference you want, I like the older binding better
I do like the individual books rather than a huge reader! My kids will like that too. That separate art watercolor book looks great too! That New Concept bubble was so needed! I'm guessing the lesson book prompts you when to do the art work?
It does!
Yes! Just ordered all of the goodies for August! Thanks so much for this flip through!
Love your flip throughs! My oldest will be using level 5 in the fall and it looks more streamlined and easier to follow. Thanks for sharing ❤️
Thanks for sharing the flip through comparison. Enjoyed it!
I love the way they’re doing the new stuff!!
Love the peek through and comparison between the versions, very helpful!
I saw you said no more flip throughs on Instagram. I would love to see more in depth on high school subjects!
I printed the PDF of the watercolor on watercolor paper. Kiddos have enjoyed it. Anyone else just want the box the books come in?? They make it so appealing. Thank you for the flip through!!

High school flip through from TG&TB would be great! Thanks so much Ashley!

This was so helpful. Thank you for sharing. I really appreciate curriculum flip throughs.
YES to flip-throughs! :) Thank you!
Thanks Ashlee! Our Level 5 arrives today ( I hope)! I can’t wait to look at everything. It looks beautiful!!!
Over here wishing I had a child in level 5 😅 it looks great! I love that TG&TB always tries to make their courses better and listens to families! We just got the new Prek course and science for littles so that's still exciting! 😅🙌

My youngest daughter is doing level 5 this year. We just got it in the mail and I was so impressed! I’m super excited to start the school year now!
Love homeschool content! Curriculum reviews & curriculum choices for next school year are soooo helpful!
Thank you for this flip through! ❤️
Thank you! I just bought the level 5 so it was fun to see a detailed explanation of what is in it.
I waited for so long for this one!! Don’t even care that my now 5th grader will continue with it into 6th (until he finishes). By that time, hopefully new level 6 will be available!
New one is gorgeous and SO streamlined!
Love the flip through and comparison. Thank you
Looks so good! Please keep making flip throughs! Helps me so much.
As a teacher, I have loved the Good and the Beautiful, but its not my daughter's jam😭 it makes me so sad, but my youngest has enjoyed the pre k version, so I hope he will continue to love it!!
Gina, I'm curious what it is that doesn't work for your daughter. Could you share?
@@lydiazook4615 Yes, basically the things I loved about the curriculum ( beautiful artwork, multiple subjects in the same workbook) were the problem. She has ADD and dyslexia.

@@ginamcgrew9955 thanks for the reply! That totally makes sense. I can see why it wouldn't work for her.
Thank you for this! I am going to rush purchase the 6th grade level NOW because I prefer the current layout. Had I not seen this update, I would have been bummed to receive the new edition with these changes.
super helpful! also- love your nail color!
I’m so glad you shared this. It looks awesome.
I'm so glad they have changed their binding. That in itself makes me so happy 😆

But with that I really hope they consider making a Level 8 and not force people to use book studies as a course for 8th grade. Tsmfs.
You did a MB logic course I believe last year. Have you done an update as to if you liked it? Thanks so much. Love your videos.
Thank you!
We used to homeschool and we used TGAB in their early days.... Can you make a video for summer studies I can do with my 5th grader daughter? Thank you!
Coming soon!
Do you know when the new level 6 was released? It's hard to tell what edition it is on their website.
Just ordered level 5 last month. Eager for it to arrive ❤
I’m a first time homeschooling mom and was wondering if the free curriculum download comes with everything you showed. That would be so helpful if it is all included.
We ordered it to use for the Fall 👏👏 can’t wait
My daughter is excited for the new level 5! The watercolour looks like so much fun! I’d purchase now, but going to wait until level 1 is released.. being in a Canada, shipping and duty prices are quite high. Other than that… we LOVE TGATB and have enjoyed your videos on them!
Exactly what I wanted to see. We use Abeka and I’ve been thinking of switching to TGATB for my future 5th grader.
This was very helpful to see the new changes. I'm curious how different level 2.
Just and note, the answer key is actually not included. It has to be purchased separately or you can get the free download.
Do you know if level 4 has been updated to the None spiral also? Thank you.
love ur channel.....no code for gatb
Since you have used it through high school, does it ever deviate from teaching about Europe? I’ve been using it since level k and currently in level 4. They learned about North America briefly but there is a noticeable trend towards Europe.
Great comparison video. I love that they are changing the binding and making it more colorful. Do you know if they are going to change all the levels? I’m going to buy level 3 but now I’m wondering if I should wait.
They are but not all at once!
Are you still using TGATB?
It sounds like you your high schoolers are doing TGTB language arts? I’d love to see a video about that
Do you feel like you could do the majority of level 5 if you decide to skip one or two of the books that come with it? We are a couple weeks in and enjoying it but my son is not
Enjoying the book.
Are the geography and grammar cards updated for content or do they just have an updated look? I have an old set from my son who started the cards a couple years ago and I'm wondering if I should get a new set for my child starting level 5 next year.
They do have an updated look!
Do you know if they will be updating level 6? We just finished old level 5

Do you feel that this curriculum has enough spelling as a stand alone or would you add something to it? This will be our first year doing The Good and Beautiful language arts. We currently have 5 different books to get language arts done.
Yes I do!
Just curious if the lit books are required? Is it OK to pick other books if my kids want to read something different?
Now on our year 3 of TGAB LA, we have started to switch some of the books out.Although they are worked into it, we have not found it to be a big problem.
You can pick your own as well. The course does ask questions when a reader is assigned so you obviously could just skip that
We switched from Saxon to Simply Good and Beautiful Math and we have all enjoyed math more! Saxon was bogging my ten year old son down with too much writing. Do the LA coordinate with grade levels mostly? We haven’t done their LA. Do we need to buy their readers with the LA or are we able to use ones we choose?
The Good and the Beautiful has LA assessments on their website that are super helpful with deciding which level to start with.
It does not correlate with grades, although that’s how it has worked out for us
