If I download this, is it complete or are there other things I would also need to download?
Hi Jennifer,
Yes it is a complete curriculum. The only additional resources you will want are a U.S. Wall Map and maybe an Atlas, but I have a lot of online links for more info so you can get away without one 🙂 The history portion also has some optional additional books you can get from the library to supplement the curriculum as well.
Hi there,
Did you used to sell this as 2 or 3 separate parts? I saved a similar curriculum to use with my son but now cannot find it anymore. It had 2 or 3 different parts/books but it looked so similar to yours.
Hi Doreen,
No I’ve never sold the Road Trip USA in parts. It does come with a few files to download, the teacher’s manual, student workbooks and the animals unit. Search your computer for RoadTripUSA.pdf and see if you can find that file. The rest should be with it if you purchased the curriculum 🙂
I bought this a couple of years ago but the laptop I downloaded it on died. I used it with my oldest and wanted to use it again with my youngest this year because I liked it so much. I was wondering if you had a record of my purchase and if so could i get the link sent to me again or do I need to purchase again.
I did purchase the program and unfortunately, my daughter dropped the laptop that its downloaded on. Is there any way that I could get a link to download it onto my new one? I can provide proof of purchase if needed.
Hi! I just bought the download. Thank you so much for putting this together! I can’t wait to dive in with my first grader. I have a question about the scholastic books that you showed on the video: Did you find them in a package deal on Amazon, or did you order each one separate? Thank you in advance!
They actually sent them to me for review, I believe it was a monthly subscription but this was a few years ago 🙂
Hi! I purchased this curriculum and am going to be using it with my second grader. Are there quizzes and tests that go along with it? If not, do you know of a site that would have some that correlate with this curriculum?
There are state quizzes and reports in the TM 🙂
Hi. When do you suggest reading If You Lived at the Time of the American Revolution? I am not seeing that one listed in the materials needed for any state. Thanks!
That book starts on Lesson 16.
Will you ever offer this in the printed book format?
I’m not sure, I’ve talked to a few printers, but haven’t been able to work it out yet. I’d like to, but for now it’s digital copies only.
Hi!
I’m interested in using this curriculum next year. I was wondering what the average cost is to have it printed at someplace like fedex/kinko’s or staples.
Thanks!
Both of those places are extremely expensive. I normally refer people to http://www.thehomeschoolprintingcompany.com. They offer much more affordable pricing 🙂 Tell them I sent you!
Great! I wasn’t familiar with them, but will definitely check them out (and mention you.) Thank you!
Hi, Erica! Is there a link somewhere to the IF YOU… books you reference in the Road Trip USA curriculum? I haven’t purchased yet but am hoping there’s a direct link to Amazon or something 🙂 THANK YOU!!!
Hi Nicole,
yes, there are links to them in the curriculum under the “resources” page.
