Time4Learning Review


Good morning!  I am going to take a couple minutes and review an awesome website that I found recently. 

https://www.time4learning.com

Time4Learning is an excellent tool for those who home school. The website is very straightforward, easy to understand, and navigating is a breeze. 

This is my third year homeschooling my oldest son (7th grade). I am pretty scatterbrained and unorganized, unfortunately. When I was making my own lesson plans, I had a hard time keeping the sequence of the lessons in order, if that makes sense. I felt like I skipped around a lot. There is a fluidity with Time4Learning that I really like. I absolutely LOVE that you can make a lesson plans for the entire school year (or less, if you want) with just a few clicks. Time4Learning keeps track of everything for you. How awesome is that? Homeschooling can be a challenge, and it's really nice to have access to a website that makes it so much easier. Attendance and grades are tracked. In Missouri, you have to log your child's hours, and it can be such a pain! T4L does the tedious work for you. 

Another great feature is that you have access to the lessons within all of the grade levels. That is really helpful if you have a child who might be a little behind in a subject or if you have a child who has mastered their grade level in a subject and can move up. 

With just a couple clicks, you can view all of your child's reports. You can see all of their work in their Student Portfolio. It's really great, and I absolutely love it! The price is very affordable, as well.

Up until I found Time4Learning, I was using primarily workbooks and worksheets. I knew I needed to change things up a  little bit, because my son, who loves school, was feeling pretty bored with his daily routine. I could tell that he wasn't enjoying his school time. My son is definitely a product of the technological times that we live in. He loves being on the computer, so Time4Learning was just what I was looking for. He is excited about school again. :) 

I would HIGHLY recommend Time4Learning for homeschooling families.

  1. Hi there! Loved reading your review! We are long time T4L users, and the record keeping and the fact that while I *can* lesson plan with T4L, I don't *have* to, are my FAVorite things about it. :D

    The access to grades above and below has been wonderful over the years. At one point, my son was doing 4th grade math, 5th grade language arts and 6th grade science!

    So glad to hear that your and your son enjoy the program. Looking forward to reading more of your blog...

  2. Have you tried using the program via the Puffin App? I am considering this for my son, only he needs mobile access and I can't find reviews of the app.
