What are the credentials of the Not Consumed team?

The Not Consumed team exists for one purpose: to help your family grow in faith so you can live #NotConsumed. We are homeschool parents with over 220 years of combined homeschooling experience, advanced degrees in education and curriculum design, and a deep love for serving families well. Every Bible study, family resource, and homeschool curriculum we create is anchored in Scripture and made to be practical, clear, and easy to use, because we know your days are already full.
We believe the best learning happens when families gather around God's Word together, so we create resources that work across ages and stages to make that time meaningful, approachable, and real.
What do you believe?

I believe that the Bible is the absolute authority in matters of faith and practice. It's 100% true, with no exceptions or figurative sections. I believe in the verbal, plenary inspiration of Scripture; in one God eternally existing in three Persons; in the creation of all things, including man, as the direct act of God; in eternally secure salvation by grace through faith in the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ; in the incarnation and virgin birth of Christ, and in His bodily resurrection; in the personal, bodily, premillennial return of the Lord Jesus Christ and His millennial reign on earth.
Is the curriculum accredited?

Though schools can be accredited, there is not an accreditation program for curriculum.

Perfect Fit!

We had a difficult time finding a phonics program for our 6 year old struggling learner. This was a perfect fit! The pages were engaging but not distracting and he was able to focus on the task at hand. He finally learned all the letters and sounds and will be starting Connections next week! We hope more levels come out soon! Thank you Not Consumed!

Great beginners start to phonics

I bought this for my newly 5 year old son & he is loving it! I wanted something to get us started with learning to read without being too overwhelming— and this fits that description entirely. He looks forward to his “school time” everyday and is breezing through the content! This makes the basic phonics principles easy to grasp and retain. We can’t wait to order the next step in this program. I also really appreciate the interweaving of scripture in the lessons. Beautifully created as well!

Just what we needed

This program is just what we needed and is something we look forward to doing together! Gentle approach with plenty of review to practice the letters, beautiful design, something I would definitely recommend!

My son is EXCITED!

My son is turning 5 soon and I have struggled to find curriculum resources he enjoys and can stay attentive to. This is BY FAR the best resource I have found! It is engaging, straightforward, eye-catching, etc. He thoroughly enjoys doing school work and it made me so happy. He loves the letter matching game. I was also shocked at how much was included especially for the cost! SO much value. I'm so thankful to have found your company. God bless!

Great Preschool Curriculum

I was looking for a curriculum for my 4 yr old daughter that was a little more engaging. This fits the bill!
The hands-on activities and worksheets are perfect. She loves having her own school books, just like her big sisters.
My one dislike is the teaching manual and worksheet pages are all in one book. If it were separated into a teacher's manual and consumable workbook, that would be much better. Having the consumables, stickers and manual separated would be helpful if more workbooks or stickers need to be purchased without purchasing full kits for multiple siblings learning together.

FAQ

No placement test is needed. If your child already knows letter sounds and can identify them in the beginning, middle, and end of words, you should start with Connections.

The time spent on each lesson depends on the needs of the child. The actual lesson and activities for the day should take between 10-30 minutes. However, playing and exploring with letter tiles, practicing reading, and fine motor skill development are encouraged to continue throughout the day!

At the end of Beginnings, your child will be able to read 42 sight words. They will be able to sound out words with short vowels. By the end of Connections, your child will know 108 sight words and will be able to read at a beginner/early reading level.

There are 2 teaching pages included in the student book at the beginning of each week that give you step-by-step instructions on the activities to complete and any teaching tips you will need. - Open and go!

God has blessed the Not Consumed team with a great deal of education (including a variety of degrees) and decades of combined homeschool experience. Several team members have subject specific degrees or master's degrees in education, specifically curriculum design.
