/Online or Hard-Copy Curriculum

* NEW * Online access is now included with every hard-copy purchase. (Learn more)

Beyond the Page curriculum is available in either hard-copy or online format. Our online and hard-copy curriculum are EXACTLY the same. You are not choosing between a hands-on, literature-based curriculum and a fully digital sit in front of the computer all day curriculum. With either curriculum, you and your child will be completing the same activities, reading the same books, and finishing the same projects. The difference really comes down to preference. If you would like to read your daily lessons on an iPad or iPhone, the online curriculum is right for you. If you like to have a hard-copy book in your hands, the choice is clear.

This page describes the /Online curriculum in detail. If you need more help deciding, check out this FAQ.

Beyond the Page /Online Benefits

• Less expensive than hard copy curriculum
  Beyond the Page /Online is a less-expensive alternative to hard-copy curriculum. With no curriculum books to print, stock, and ship, we are able to pass the savings on to you.
  
  
• No shipping charges (great for international, Alaska, and Hawaii customers)
  You will not pay any shipping charges for the portion of your purchase that is made up on /Online units. If you live in Alaska, Hawaii, or internationally, this can save you a shipping surcharge that can be between 20% and 50% of your order. Note that shipping charges may apply to the parts of your order that are actually shipped.
  
  
• Quick access to videos, pictures, and websites on the Internet
  Beyond the Page curriculum features links to a variety of online material including articles, images, videos, and games. With the /Online version, this content is quick and easy to access. While the hard copy curriculum still contains link information, this content is more readily accessible and more likely to be used if it only a click away.
  
  
• Integrated with Portfolio and IdeaShare
  Beyond the Page /Online provides quick one-click access to our unique community of parents and educators through Portfolio and IdeaShare™.
  
  Portfolio is an online tool that enables you to document and share your work with other families and teachers. IdeaShare lets you share good ideas and resources you used while implementing a lesson. Both of these tools are available to all Beyond the Page families, but they are even easier to access from the /Online lessons.
  
  
• Start using your curriculum today
  With Beyond the Page /Online, you can start reviewing and using your curriculum immediately.
  
  
• Reading and Questions sections can be typed online and printed instead of written by hand
