What Is Michigan BookShark Virtual?
Michigan BookShark Virtual (MBV) offers online essential subjects, including Social Studies, Language Arts, Science, and Math, and online electives to students from Kindergarten through 8th grade. These essential subjects are FREE to families when they sign up through MBV. Families work one-on-one with our MBV Coordinator to customize the Level for their child(ren) and receive online grading and mentoring (progress checks) by MBV teachers and mentors. Families will have online access to the interactive BookShark Virtual platform, including the weekly schedule, videos, mapping activities, and assessments. Enrolled students will also receive an All-Subject BookShark package of materials, including novels, activity sheets, supplies for experiments, and so much more. MBV, Michigan BookShark Virtual, is an online homeschooling option that is offered through Berrien Springs Public Schools of Michigan.
We really appreciate how BookShark has organized the curriculum to build up knowledge and skills intuitively. It offers an excellent variety of books, which expose readers to topics they may not have been aware of or tried before. Our son especially liked how science lessons are a good blend of reading with a hands-on experiment. Also, we chose to use the Math-U-See curriculum, which gives clear instruction, addresses misconceptions, and provides scaffolding of skills leading to greater success.

So today I asked Logan what he thought about his new BookShark homeschool curriculum. He’s in 7th grade now and needed a bit of accountability besides mom. Guys.. he loves it. He asked if he can keep the books. He is learning so much, challenged enough to keep his little ADHD brain busy, and reads over 2 hours a day including personal time. Thank You BookShark and Alpena Public School’s Partnership Program for offering to us this amazing program!
