Resources for Your Young Reader

February 21st 2009 02:27
Starfall is an interactive website that helps children learn to read through phonics. This website really helped my daughter become a strong reader. Another great website for your young reader is Seussville University which is based on the very popular Seuss books. Studydog is another excellent website that offers a downloadable program that will help your children read. The phonics lessons are presented in a game setting; kids actually have fun while learning. They used to offer the program for free but I believe it has changed. Nevertheless, do check out their website to learn more about what it offers as well as pricing.

Some other resources I recommend:

From PreK to K

October 6th 2006 23:20
We love going to the beach, there's so much to discover there.
My daughter is now in First Grade and is going to a traditional school. But here's another guide I wrote back when we were still homeschooling.

One of the joys of homeschooling is that you're not limited to a specified set of curriculum or academic goal. You can choose what subjects you want to teach and what your child is interested in. of course, reading, penmanship and math must always be included.

Coming Up With A Daily Schedule

October 1st 2006 18:55
Some of the books we used for PreK
Here's another guide I wrote for those thinking of homeschooling their gifted children.

Most newbie homeschoolers start out with a specific schedule, mine would rival that of a traditional school,lol. I think this is mainly because when I was first starting out I wasn't that confident so I tried to tailor it to the way I learned when I was in school.
