Playlist FAQs

Select a question to show or hide its answer.

What does “Audiobooks Available” mean?

For curriculum packages, the first number counts assigned books and resources represented by the audiobooks; the second is the full package list, including teaching references where listed. For Classical Conversations reading selections, both numbers refer only to our curated selection—not the complete annual Challenge book list. Read-aloud collections count only their specified read-aloud list. A combined print volume may require more than one recording, so the playlist’s recording count can differ. Any uncertainty in the package total is explained in the coverage notes. Open the coverage notes and the full playlist to see which books are included, which are missing, and any edition differences.

How do I buy and listen through your bookstore?

Choose “View playlist on Libro.fm” to browse a collection. You can buy individual audiobooks on demand or explore Libro.fm membership options while supporting First Homeschool Bookstore. Visit our audiobook page for memberships, listening options, and gifts.

Can I use these alongside my curriculum?

Yes. Use your curriculum guide for reading order and assignments, and keep the assigned print copies for illustrations, study notes, and other material that may not be included in audio. The playlists are listening companions, not complete curriculum packages.

Will these match my curriculum edition?

Compare your own reading list with the playlist before purchasing. Each playlist identifies its package or reading-selection scope and includes the date we checked it and edition notes. Curriculum lists and audiobook availability can change.

More curriculum collections planned

We plan to add playlists for My Father’s World and other curriculum providers. We’ll list each collection here once it’s ready.
