If you’ve visited my blog for very long, you know that I was a member of The Old Schoolhouse Crew for the 2008-09 year. The Crew, sponsored and coordinated by The Old Schoolhouse Magazine, is a group of 100 bloggers who received homeschool and family-related products throughout the year and wrote reviews of each item.
You can read all of my reviews by clicking here. (You’ll see only the first few lines of each review and will need to click on the title of any review that you want to review in its entirety.) You can also look at this post which contains a list of every item that I reviewed and has links to each review. (A little easier to navigate, perhaps, than the other link…)
Several of the 2008-09 Crew Mates have made Top Ten lists of their favorite or most-used products. I’ve been wanting to do the same and am finally taking the time to do it!
(These are items that we’ve continued to use even after the reviews were completed. We’ve continued to use others as well, but I’m limiting the list to ten. It’s impossible to put them in a 1 – 10 order, so I’ll just alphabetize them.)
- All About Spelling
- Beyond Five in a Row
- Crayola Art Studio
- Critical Thinking Math and Logic
- Kinderbach Online Piano Lessons
- Peterson Directed Handwriting
- Prima Latina I
- Rime to Read
- Spears Art Studio
- SpellQuizzer
It doesn’t really fit my list since we aren’t still using the review products, per se, but I want to mention Salem Ridge Press. I loved the books they sent to us, and I plan to order more books from them in the future. It’s so hard to find high quality literature that makes a great family read-aloud – but Salem Ridge Press is the place to look!

Hi Cindy,
This top ten list is fantastic. The Crew sounds like a great group and it's quite impressive the collection of people you have involved. You can post this to our site http://www.toptentopten.com/ and link back to your site. We are trying to create a directory for top ten lists where people can find your site. The coolest feature is you can let other people vote on the rankings of your list.
