You are welcome to download these planning and scheduling templates for use alongside the {affiliate link –>} A Beka K4 curriculum. They are a very popular download on this site over the years, in spite of their longevity! Recently, I decided to update them for you. The following is my description of the files from 2010! But, this article includes the download for the new (and the old) versions of my files. I hope you enjoy them!

I am planning this year’s curriculum for my 4 year-old, and I am almost finished! I’m planning just the first 6 weeks of school first, and then I will tackle the rest later. I’m off to a good start! We’ll begin K4 this year with my daughter, and am going to use A Beka primarily. Specifically, we will use Reading/Writing/Phonics, Math, and Bible, with a few other things thrown in here and there.
These are just my own personal files, they’re really nothing special. However, I am sharing these personal planning sheets with you, in case you might like to copy them and use them for yourself. Of course, I made these with A Beka curriculum in mind, but you may find them useful for your own choice of curriculum.
There is plenty of space under each subject for jotting down ideas, related activities, and anything else you might need to write there. I have them in a 3-ring binder, in order by date. I keep the backsides of each sheet blank for jotting down more ideas.
4-Day A Beka Preschool Plan
So, that’s what I’m using for daily lesson planning this year! We’re following a four-day schedule. Day 5 is left open for catch-up, assessments, field trips, or just my “cleaning day.” A Beka begins “seatwork” in Lesson 83, so there are two sets of planning sheets. However, in my own personal opinion, I don’t really think the seatwork is necessary. I doubt I will even use those pages. They just seem like busy-work to me! I don’t want to be sitting at the kitchen table all day long, after all.
A Beka is a solid curriculum, especially in phonics, writing, handwriting, and spelling. I will probably use it until my child is able to read fairly independently. After that, we’ll choose a more relaxed curriculum that doesn’t include quite so many worksheets. Also, it’s extremely expensive, and they never have sales even worth mentioning here on the blog. So I don’t promote them much, and wouldn’t really recommend them to families on one income.
This is an older freebie, but it’s still available for download to my current subscribers. There is a link in every email sent from me that will lead you to this download. It’s included in my exclusive subscriber library. I hope you enjoy!
