Question 1

How do I know which Level to use?

Accepted Answer

We recommend that all families begin with our placement tests before purchasing. The tests are designed to help you identify exactly where your child should start, so you can begin with confidence rather than guessing. You can find the placement tests https://www.story-weavers.com/placementtest.

Question 2

How do I print my materials?

Accepted Answer

TSW is a digital-first curriculum delivered as PDF downloads. For families who prefer to work digitally, we recommend using GoodNotes on an iPad, which allows your child to write, draw, and interact directly on the pages without printing anything. For families who prefer physical books, we recommend printing through our partner Wonderroots, who produces high-quality bound books and ships them directly to your door. TSW families receive 10% off through our partner link. Get your books printed through Wonderroots here.

Question 3

What does "lifetime access to updates" mean?

Accepted Answer

When you purchase a TSW level, you own it. That means any time we improve, expand, or update that level, you get the new version automatically at no additional cost, for life. TSW is an actively developed curriculum and we refine our materials on an ongoing basis based on family feedback and our own quality standards. You don't need to do anything. Updated files will always be waiting for you, and you'll never pay for an improvement to something you already own.

We reccomend printing your Lesson Books right before you will begin using them so that you've always got the most current version.

Question 4

Can lessons be done with multiple children at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and many TSW families do exactly this. Because The Story Weavers is discussion-based and activity-driven rather than independent-workbook-based, siblings at similar levels often work through lessons together naturally. For children at different levels, some families run separate TSW levels simultaneously while sharing read-alouds and discussions across the group.

Question 5

Do the booklists change?

Accepted Answer

Occasionally. When a book becomes difficult to source or a stronger option becomes available, we update our recommendations. The most current booklist for each level is always available here: https://www.story-weavers.com/downloadabooklist

Question 6

What is the consumables file?

Accepted Answer

When you purchase a TSW level, you'll see a file called "Consumables" in your folder for each book of the curriculum. The consumables file contains all of the pages your child will cut out, or interact with directly during lessons. These are the pages that get used up over the course of the year. Having them in a separate file means you can print or reuse just those pages without reprinting the entire curriculum, which is especially useful for families with multiple children working through the same level or those using the curriculum digitally.

Question 7

Can TSW be used alongside traditional school, worldschooling, or travel?

Accepted Answer

Yes to all of the above. TSW's flexible, discussion-based format makes it a strong fit for families who travel frequently, split their time between homeschool and other programs, or school in unconventional environments. The materials are portable, the schedule is adaptable, and nothing about TSW requires you to be sitting at a desk at 8am.
