Grade 1 Online with Books is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 19.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Product We started using the DVDs this year, and they have been such a blessing! I truly love the first grade DVDs on how they are so interactive and very entertaining. My first grader, my kindergartner, and my three-year-old all love to sit and rewatch the science DVDs LOL The teacher does such an excellent job, and I was very impressed with the content. My children seem to be able to absorb all that is being taught, the only part that might be a bothersome for some is the prep work/time ( but keep in mind I have four kids, so for me two hours a week per kid of prep and grade time equals eight hours a week for me ;) but my husband and I both feel that every minute is absolutely worth it! For all of the wonderful biblical things that my children are learning, along with the excellent academic content, we have been more than pleased with this program and are looking forward to continuing this program in the future! I also wanted to note how much I love that even though my children are doing teaching DVDs, BJU still incorporates time where you are still the teacher and you get to experience fun projects and assignments with your child(ren). I definitely feel I am still there main teacher, but now I get the privilege of having professional tutors assist me throughout our school day ;) Thanks BJU for creating such a wonderful biblically sound curriculum for our family!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent! My daughter used this for first grade and it was the highlight of her year. She loved the teacher! Her soft-spoken, kind manner set my daughter at ease and made her excited to do her video lesson everyday and her reading skills grew daily. The video contained more than just instructions for the worksheets, it had video clips of things they were discussing, lots of explanation, and puppet characters that made it engaging, fun, and far more educational than I would have done on my own. It was the book curriculum with added fun things to watch and understand - all done by a sweet teacher! This was worth every penny - best money I spent for this year.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from overall great product The only negative I can give is that some of the videos are outdated. Overall the teachers keep my children engaged in what they are doing. I would like to see them break the videos into 2 parts not just one phonics and reading class.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Better Than Expected! My son and I are so happy with this curriculum! Spelling is his favorite subject now. Mrs. Lindstrom is so sweet, and with the help of her friends, makes the lessons fun. The videos are just the right length. I am most impressed with the incorporation of the Bible.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worked well for first grader I switched my first grader to the online BJU 1st grade math in January. I had been using the new edition with her, and REALLY dislike it, having used the third edition with a previous child. The new 4th edition makes simple math concepts way too hard for a first grader. She enjoyed Mrs. Lawson and did well with the online class. My only complaint is that a 30 minute class is very long for a first grader, and sometimes I'd speed through lessons because it seemed to drag on for my daughter. I really like how the online class incorporates fact review every day!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great program! This is our first year with BJU Press, and my son and I love these lessons, teachers and the website's features. The program keeps my son's attention very well, and he is learning the concepts easily. I like the customizable gradebook online and seeing his overall grade in each subject right from the homescreen. There are some changes that could make it even better, though overall we definitely recommend this program! If the student homepage at this level could be simplified to just a "play video" button for each subject, I think that would be so much better. My son doesn't read his own objectives and assignments at this level anyway, so it would eliminate a step for him and minimize potential confusion. It would also be really nice if the Spelling Test papers were included. Also, Mrs. Walker is an awesome and enthusiastic teacher who brings a lot of interesting things to her lessons. One negative, though, is it can sometimes be too much. Some of the activities she includes for answering questions correctly, for instance, are more distracting than rewarding or take a lot of extra time. And suggesting optional activities to a first grader, of course makes them want to do it. I would prefer if she only mentioned additional ideas in the mom's minutes, not to the students, but that's just my personal preference. One other note to BJU Press: the Math 1 community helpers bar graph was missing from our handouts. Just letting you know for future customers. Again, we love this program! The constructive criticisms are for BJU Press, and you can edit them from my review of you like. We love and recommend these video lessons!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Phonics Instruction My children have all enjoyed taking Phonics with Mrs. Walker. Some of it is a little outdated, for example, we had to explain the character of "Chip" (the enormous computer) to my current first-grader who was streaming the lessons on her tablet. However, overall, it is a fun program that my children have enjoyed. Mrs. Walker's positive attitude is contagious and my children have grown to love reading through this course.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Solid Foundation for Reading We have used the First Grade Phonics and Reading 1 class six times. We found the class to be such a rich, well-rounded approach to teaching reading. As a parent, I loved the Mom's minutes that allowed me to know exactly what my children were going to be learning that day without having to watch the lesson myself. And Mrs. Walker's guidance and helpful insight into the teaching process were also invaluable in helping me to set reasonable expectations for our children. The way the class was broken up into the composition, phonics, review, handwriting, and reading sections made it easy to have natural breaks. Even with having two children who struggled to learn to read, they stayed interested due to the variety of teaching methods and media used. The only reason I gave four stars for "ease of use" is because of the comparison to other BJUP online courses. It does take more preparation than other classes (but this is actually multiple courses in one). I found that spending the time to watch the mom's minutes, pull the worksheets, and extras took more time than other courses so I gave the four star rating based on the comparison. In that way it was "harder" to use but by no means excessive - it was very well balanced when compared to the amount of material and length of the class. My children LOVED this class and I'm so thankful for such a high quality product that gave me the confidence that my children were given the great foundation in reading which is so necessary for future learning.
