Paradigm Basic Science Mysteries Curriculum

We like Basic Science Mysteries because it keeps the student's interest and helps with reading comprehension. Each lesson has a motivational story that involves something to be learned in the science lesson. Our sons enjoyed using this course.

Use this course to teach your child to read for comprehension and to find answers to questions in the activities. How? It is methodically organized. Most question occur in the same order as they are found in the text. Each question is phrased from the text which is the old fashioned way that worked. It is a beautiful way to teach homeschool students who didn't use a textbook approach in the elementary grades. Introduce them to reading to find the answer with a curriculum designed to do that.
