Picking Bible curriculum for your homeschool is one of the most important planning decisions you will make each year. The right course keeps Christ at the center, matches your student’s reading level, and gives you a realistic weekly schedule. This guide walks through the questions our team at Deeper Roots Publications hears most often from homeschool families. When you are ready to order, visit our Home School Bible Resources category or call Howard Lisech at 407-797-8557.
1. Start with your student’s grade and reading level
Bible curriculum should challenge thinking without overwhelming new readers. Check the publisher’s recommended grade range on each title, then read a sample lesson with your child. Deeper Roots places each book in the Discovering series on a clear progression so you can see where a seventh grader fits compared to a tenth grader. If you are teaching multiple ages, look for a teacher guide that lists discussion questions you can adapt for younger siblings.
2. Confirm the course is Bible-centered, not opinion-driven
Quality homeschool Bible courses open the Scripture directly, assign memory work, and apply passages to daily life. Avoid programs that replace biblical text with long author commentary. Our statement of faith on the What We Believe page explains why we treat the Bible as God’s inspired Word. That conviction shapes every teacher guide and student workbook we publish.
3. Compare teacher guide and student workbook formats
Some parents want a full scripted lesson plan. Others prefer weekly objectives with room to add family devotions. Before you buy, note whether the package includes a separate teacher edition, answer key, and reproducible student pages. Bundles that pair both books often save money and keep pacing consistent across a semester. Download our free Bible Curriculum Brochure for scope-and-sequence charts by grade.
4. Request samples and read parent reviews
A one-chapter sample reveals whether the writing style fits your home. Read how other homeschool moms describe their experience on our Bible curriculum reviews page. You can also email DeeperRootsPubs@gmail.com to ask which Discovering book follows the title you used last year.
5. Plan your budget and shipping timeline
Order early in the summer so you have time to preview lessons before your first day of school. Print bundles and digital options are listed in the online shop. For co-op groups ordering multiple sets, call us for quantity guidance. Shipping and return policies are posted on Shipping & Returns.
