It’s a question I’ve been afraid to ask, much less answer, for a long time. What if my child never learns to read? Last week, we resumed my son’s daily reading lessons and practice. He is profoundly dyslexic, and all the research shows that in order for him to become a proficient reader he needs daily,…
“I feel like a baby, all the time. I want to be able to do school like everyone else,” my son said a few months ago. Hesitantly, I asked him what he meant. “Everyone gets to do their school on their own and I have to always be with you so you can read to…
All week long, I have shared how I plan for a new school year. I shared where to start and also our curriculum choices for sixth and tenth grade. I want to wrap up the week with some real life examples of how hands-on learning layers into my curriculum choices, particularly for my youngest son….
As the new school year approaches, I find I am being asked this question all the time – What’s the best curriculum for children with learning differences? It’s been more than a decade since we first began homeschooling. That first year, I actually thought very little about curriculum (I look back on now and wonder,…
Finding the right curriculum can be a challenge for any homeschooler. Add in homeschooling a child with ADHD and the task can seem almost impossible. This is everything you need to get started as a parent making homeschool curriculum choices for your child with ADHD. When we first started homeschooling, more than a decade ago,…
There’s a lot of back to school stuff happening around the internet right now. I usually love this time of year. The posts make me feel motivated, inspired and almost ready to get back into the swing of all things school around here. I love looking at the curriculum choices and hearing from other moms,…
I have written a lot about our summer learning plans and activities. I have done to it support you, of course. But the truth is, I have written so much about it over the past years because summer has always been a bit of a struggle for me and for my children. While I went…
I dreaded it for years and I know I am not alone. It’s something that most homeschool moms ask at one time or another as their child gets closer to the high school years. What am I going to do about algebra? Or geometry, or any higher level math for that matter! One mom said…
When we first began homeschooling, curriculum was sort-of an afterthought. After three years in public school, the mechanics of homeschooling were what concerned me most, not what we were actually learning. It seems strange now, but it looking back, it makes sense. When you are teaching in a traditional school, there aren’t really a ton…
Behavioral changes and consistency take time – far more time than I like to admit. So why do I always feel so much pressure and rush to see progress? How long should it take to change my child’s behavior (and my own, for that matter)? I saw a pamphlet in my son’s doctor’s office yesterday….
Teaching your child to code as a part of your homeschool can provide a fun and engaging learning experience that pays off! A big part of my decision making as a homeschool parent has always been how what we are learning will impact my children’s potential success as an adult. It was true for math,…
I am a paper girl. There, I said it. I love notebooks. I love pens in every color. I love stationery stores. It’s no surprise that usually I buy a new paper planner each summer, as I begin planning for the upcoming school year. But the truth is, as my children have gotten older, the…
