Linguistic, Read, Write Learners

The first two posts in this series briefly discussed basic learning styles and multiple intelligences. The rest of this series will cover each learning style in greater detail. To keep things simple each intelligence will get its own post. Just know that everyone has several intelligences and so will not fit exclusively into...

Learning Styles: The Basics

Posted by Montserrat | 0 comments

There’s one lesson I learned right away when we first began homeschooling – not everyone learns the same way. Why this shocked me, I don’t know. I am so glad that I learned it early on in our homeschool experience. Most parents and teachers prefer to teach according to how they learn. I know I sure do! But...

Thoroughly Fun Homeschooling

Posted by Lisa N. | 0 comments

There seems to be a lot of discussion lately in the homeschooling community about the idea that you can either have fun or be thorough. I’d like to propose that home school can be fun and thorough. My definition of “fun” goes beyond just “Woot.” I count satisfied, fulfilled and contented too. In much...

How to Study Nature

Posted by Cindy West | 0 comments

Last month, I wrote about the importance of including nature study in your homeschool. This month I’d like to take a brief look at various ways to implement nature study. Some people might try to tell you that “real” nature study should look a certain way, but just like we all choose curriculum based on learning...

Reluctant Reader but Powerful God

Posted by Guest | 0 comments

I have a struggling learner, a very bright little boy that makes my heart smile but with a few special ingredients that are different from his sisters! After many frustrating home school days, which often left me exhausted and him frustrated, I decided that something needed to change. I needed to learn what was going on...

How We Do it with Four

Posted by Christine | 0 comments

If you had told me ten years ago when my first son was born that in 2010 I’d be homeschooling anyone- let alone a fifth grader, second grader, and two preschoolers- I would have chuckled and shaken my head. Now, here I am, homeschooling my kiddos and loving almost every minute of it. It’s taken me a few years to feel...

The Learning Styles of the Fun and the Not So Fun

Posted by Jenny | 0 comments

“Mom, teach me to tell time!” asked my seven year-old, Madeline. I replied, “Okay Maddy, let’s get started.” What seemed like a fun thing to embark upon, turned out to be… not so fun. I had drawn the face of the clock; cut it out, and even used a clasp in the back to hold the hands so they could move (I wanted it...

Teaching to Their Differences

Posted by LauraD | 0 comments

If you homeschool more than one child, you have undoubtedly noticed that each of your children learns differently. Now I realize that I am hardly shocking you with my insight here, but I know that I often have to remind myself that not all of my children will follow in the footsteps of my oldest daughter. Last month I...

The Autism Spectrum

Posted by Angela | 0 comments

Wondering if your child might be on the spectrum? The first thing people ask me when I tell them my son has Asperger’s Syndrome, a form of Autism, is how did I know that Xander had a problem? To be perfectly honest, I wasn’t sure he did. He seemed like a perfectly normal, albeit quirky, child. Sure, he was super hyper,...

Vision Therapy: From Skeptic to Cheerleader

Posted by Darnelle | 3 comments

Get Back Here! I know what you’re thinking . . . Vision Therapy? Why in the world would I care about THAT?” WAIT! Let me ask you not to move on just yet. I understand that the topic of “Vision Therapy” sounds remote and weird and totally unrelated to any home school problems you may be having. I...
