God’s Design for Sex Series

The curriculum includes substantial guidance for parents as primary instructors.

The series includes a dedicated parent book 'How & When to Tell Your Kids about Sex' that covers principles, foundations, and age-appropriate approaches for different developmental stages

The curriculum facilitates direct instruction through structured parent-child conversations.

Books are designed as read-alouds with parents providing explicit instruction, and 'What's the Big Deal?' is structured as conversations with suggested dialogue between parents and children

The curriculum teaches anatomical and biological terminology explicitly.

Reviews note that 'specific terms for genital organs are used' and the books progress to more detailed biological terminology as students advance through grade levels

This curriculum does not align with NGSS or standard science education frameworks.

The series focuses exclusively on sex education from a religious perspective rather than comprehensive life science standards, with no mention of disciplinary core ideas, science practices, or crosscutting concepts

The curriculum includes minimal retrieval practice opportunities.

Only 'What's the Big Deal?' mentions 'discussion questions that you might use if they seem helpful,' with no systematic review or assessment components described

This curriculum does not incorporate hands-on activities or laboratory work.

The series consists entirely of books designed for reading and discussion, with no mention of experiments, investigations, or hands-on science activities

The curriculum appears to build age-appropriate biological knowledge systematically across grade levels.

Reviews indicate the series progresses from basic anatomy and reproduction concepts for younger children to detailed discussions of puberty, sexual biology, and reproductive processes for older students
