    i just looked at their website, and it looks like something i’d be interested in teaching my son. thanks for the chance!

    It looks like I might be too late, but if there is any hope for me I would LOVE this set!!! Awesome giveaway for a mom getting ready to homeschool her twin first graders. 🙂

  17. Rebecca

    Just starting to look into homeschooling my daughters. Am enjoying your blog. Thanks for the chance to win.

  18. Elissa Blake

    Hello! I’m also just about to start my home school journey with a 6-year-old son who is about to start Grade One! We love the look of the classical method but we are absolute beginners.
    take care

    I would love this set! I read and reread parts of the Well Trained Mind almost every night before I go to bed:) My husband jokes that i am becoming an expert and we haven’t started yet(but soon) homeschooling our son. I have almost all the MP3’s of talks that both Jessie and Susan have given! I can’t wait to use this curriculum with our son!

  36. Kerry

    Wow. What a great giveaway! My daughter is still a little young but I am beginning to build a library to use when I start homeschooling her.

  41. Paige

    What a fantastic giveaway! I will have a first grader next year and it would simply be a dream to have all these books ready for her. Since our family is on such a strict budget, I often have to rely on borrowing books from other families, using free printables online, or telling my older ones they CAN NOT write in their “consumable” books because I will need it for the next child. I will continue to hope. 🙂

    Just getting ready to start homeschooling and winning this would be an excellent way to start – keeping my fingers crossed XXX

  66. Jen T

    Oh wow! My son is just a year away from “starting 1st grade” and we would love to have some resources set to start with! What a wonderful giveaway!

  75. Julie Capp

    This is a superb giveaway! Thanks for doing this, nice to have all this excitement for me on a weekend 🙂

  80. Mandi Bozarth

    I would LOVE to win this. I just checked out The Story of the World from the library and I think it is great. My son is doing kindergarten work right now, but he is so interested in history and how people used to live. This book is so well written and really is interesting — even for me. I can’t wait to look at the other materials now. Thanks for another great post.

  81. Kim

    We will be doing 1st grade next year!! Hint, hint 🙂 The material looks great, I’d love to see it first hand. Thanks!

  90. Jennifer Ott

    We are just beginning to research what to use with our first 1st-grader soon! Since he is the first of four, we’d love to win this great giveaway! Thanks!

  95. sarah w

    no kids yet, but i’m working on my plans now to home school. plus my girl friend is in the midst of doing it with her kids right now.

  97. Laura

    Oh, what an awesome gift! We loved SOTW from the beginning when we used it years ago with our middles. Now there’s a whole new edition and I’ve been debating getting all new for this next go around. I think the full Peace Hill 1st grade program would be awesome to use for my little man – they didn’t have it all my last time to do first grade:)

  102. Andrea

    We stumbled across The Ordinary Parent’s Guide to Teaching Reading last year and have fallen in love with it! We were looking for a way to provide early reading instruction to our oldest daughter while caring for twin infants. Never in our wildest dreams would my husband and I have considered homeschooling, but the desire to have more time with our oldest while keeping the twins from exposure to RSV and the like prompted us to give it a try. This guide has been our test case to see if it would be possible for us to actually teach at home. Wow! It has been incredibly easy to use and has been incredibly effective. Now we have the proof that we can do this and intend to do first grade next year. Winning this give away would be a fantastic gift!!

  109. Mmama

    Oh, I have a little one who is so excited about reading and writing right now. Thanks for pointing this option out!

  116. Sheilla Turner

    What a wonderful give-a-way!!!! I love simple homeschool and always look forward to their emails. This give-a-way would help me to better teach my 1st grader that seems to be struggling in many areas. Good luck to all!

  122. Cara

    What a great opportunity. My oldest is in 1st grade and we are deciding to start homeschool and I’m researching different curriculum options!

  127. Soni

    I am just getting started with homeschooling and am using the WTM as my primary guide…winning this addition would be super! Good giveaway!

  136. Tricia

    ooooooh, that would be a wonderful addition to our school room! I’ve got four kids, the oldest having just turned five, so what appears to be wonderful resources would be put to very good use in this household.

  140. Carrie Cotton

    What a great give away. We are on our first year of homeschooling our twins, just easy preschool this year but are exploring all our options for the years ahead. Would love to have this resource!

  143. Caroline

    Wow, thank you for this opportunity!

    I love “The Well-Trained Mind,” which has made me feel like we could actually successfully homeschool our children (whereas before I wasn’t sure that I could do so and really give them the best … I can’t teach everything well!).

    These resources look great!

  147. Angie Young

    Wow this is a great giveaway. Would love to win this. I know whoever does win it will be extremely happy!! Hope everyone has a great weekend!!

  149. Elizabeth

    We love Peace Hill Press products! We are using Story of the World Part II this year for my older kids; I’d love to have the First Grade package for my youngest!

  157. Genevieve

    How we LOVE Writing with Ease!!!! THank you Peace Hill Press from the bottom of the heart of this homeschooling mother!

  159. Mary Ann

    What a great giveaway! We started using OPGTR this year with my son in K. We are about 1/3 through it and he is reading well already. It would be great to continue in 1st with these other resources from Peace Hill Press…and get the chance to pass on an extra copy of OPGTR to a family just starting out with homeschooling! Thanks for the giveaway!

  161. Sarah M

    This would just be so awesome. Right now my kiddo is a bit smaller, but we are ALWAYS on the lookout for great curriculum, either for this year, next, or the year after that! Sign me up!

    I would love to win!! We are still fairly new to homeschooling, and I am wanting to move away from my pre-packaged curriculum. It was the easiest way to start, but now that I am more confident, I have found that I want to give my kids a classical education. I have Story of the World on the top of my wish list…..thanks for the chance to win!!

  165. Sarah

    This sounds awesome! I’d love to have some more books to teach my children. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway!

  166. Jessica I

    I recently read The Well-Trained Mind and found it very interesting and full of great ideas as I begin to develop a plan for educating my young children. Thanks for the chance to win this give-away!

  170. Laura

    I was very happy to have heard Susan Wise Bauer speak this summer. The enthusiasm in which she speaks about classical education and the flexibility there is in it (which I think may be lost on some) was very inspirational to me and cemented my desire to use the classical model in our homeschool.

    Thanks for this opportunity!

  172. amanda beavers

    I would really like to win this package I have been looking at their packages and think they seem great. Thanks for the offer.

    I LOVE the SOFW! I just started it a month ago with my 5yo son. I would be so happy to get the first language lessons to start with him in a few months. Thanks for the chance!

  175. Jaclyn Reynolds

    We’re homeschooling and this would be wonderful for my 6 year old!! Thank you for the wonderful chance to win!

  179. Guisla

    This is a fantastic give away! I really appreciate what Peace Hill Press has done for the home education community.

  180. Molly Lemen

    oh my goodness! Please pick me! I could totally use this for the next up coming year! I promise I will be very nice to it and give it a loving home… I’ll make it waffles every morning and always be available for a hug!

  181. Joanne

    I’ve got SOTW on my Amazon wishlist, but my homeschooling budget for this year is already spent! My DD is just starting first grade (we started schooling in March, since she was ready and interested). The timing of this giveaway couldn’t be more perfect! Thanks!

  203. Andrea R

    This is our first year homeschooling. My daughter is in Kindergarten, but doing first grade work. I would love to add these into our schooling! It would certainly make a lot less work for me in compiling lessons! Thanks!

  204. Mindy

    Is it really that easy? Sign me up! We’d love to have this in our home. My oldest will be in 1st grade next year and after that, I’ll have three more 1st graders within two years, so we’d make good use of it! 🙂

  209. Jenn

  224. Betsy

    Our oldest will be in 1st grade next year, and her two younger sisters would love this curriculum down the road. What a great package!

  229. Connie McAlpine

    I homechool 2 children and they love the story format for history. We also the variety of activities that go with the chapters. It really helps them remember things!

  230. Michelle Gallo

    I used this curriculum years ago with my two older children, then gave it to a friend when they moved on in grades. God gave us two more boys and they are both in this age range. It would be wonderful to be able to use this great curriculum with them too!

  236. Serena

    I would LOVE to win this! I already have The Ordinary Parent’s Guide, which I love, so the rest of it would be wonderful!

  238. Melissa

    Have read the Reading Guide and it has great suggestions for preparing children to read before actively beginning teaching!

  241. Danielle Rafael

    This would be so fantastic!! I was just discussing some of these very same books with our charter school teacher the other day. We already have Ordinary Parent’s Guide to Teaching Reading. I find this very user friendly and simple to teach my son how to read. He’s doing great! Fingers crossed we win!! 🙂

  243. Vivien Siew

    We use Writing with Ease, First Language Lessons and Story of the World with all three of our children.

  248. Danielle

    This collection would be great to share with my homeschooling friends and then use it for my own family in a few years when my daughter is ready (she is 3.5)!

  251. Gwenyth
