One distinction among these Christian publishers is literature-based versus textbook: literature-based programs (Sonlight, My Father's World, Heart of Dakota) teach through living books on a daily schedule, while traditional textbook lines (BJU Press, Abeka) follow a graded scope and sequence closer to a Christian day school. Both teach history, reading, and science from a Christian worldview, as each publisher describes it. Several of these publishers name no denomination, and the directory lists them as Christian (denomination not stated). The picks below group publishers by approach. In our assessment, budget-conscious families can look at Master Books, Alpha Omega's workbook lines, or the entirely free Easy Peasy All-in-One. Confessional Lutheran families, who are Protestant but catechetically distinct, have their own materials and are listed at the end; families in the Reformed and Presbyterian tradition have a dedicated page.
