"Thanks for all you do!  In addition to saving us time (and money!), your reviews have helped me have good discussions with my son about how important it is to make choices that reflect our values." - Laura, Austin, Texas

 

"This is by far the best website I have found for Christian schools to see the content of books without having to read them all.  Keep up the good work!" - Gloria, Savannah Christian Preparatory School

 

"I was able to use the service to determine if what my daughter is reading is appropriate.  It turns out that there are a few touchy subjects that I need to discuss with her about the book she's reading now.  The site is a huge blessing for today's busy parents."  - Michelle, San Antonio, Texas

 

"Discovery Journey helps me be a better parent.  Knowing what my children are reading and viewing affords me an opportunity to have more open communication with them." - Peggy - Atlanta, Georgia

Home School

Education through home school is the fastest growing form of education today.  One of the best ways to insure success in your child's education, especially as part of a home school program, is to foster a love for reading and learning.  Research has indicated time and time again the correlation between early reading success and later success in all education.   This can be especially true in a home school environment where a child can advance at their pace. 

 

Discovery Journey's reading program is perfect for home school curriculum because of our unique system of combining great books with  activities and experiences that bring the book alive for the reader, creating in them a desire to learn more.  Discovery Journey not only evaluates children's books and movies but we also research and identify 5 child activities and family trips designed to bring the family closer together, foster a passion for learning, and build the character of your child.  

 

Because home school parents take a great interest in the content that their children read and watch whether it's for education or recreation, Discovery Journey's character trait based reviews are also perfect for home school programs.  Discovery Journey reviews children's books and movies based on 10 character traits and 7 behavior influences.  Home school parents will know exactly what moral lessons their children will gleam from the books on our site.
