Just because you pass a test and can memorize something doesn’t mean you learned something.

Listen to what this student has to say. She really does give an amazing speech.

I am batting around the idea of adding in Sonlight Curriculum this year. Sounds like a great program. I like the idea of lesson plans prepared and ready to go :)

How about you?

Goals for Kids

Setting goals for your child can help them feel a little more comfortable, confident and more focused.

Goals should be set for a number of reasons:

Goals can help your child get from point A to point B. Homeschoolers need direction and a plan. I’m sure one of the many reasons for homeschooling is to teach them responsibility.

Goals can provide desire and motivation. When your homeschooler reaches a goal it can give them a great deal of confidence. That confidence can lead them to the desire and motivation to reach another goal.

Making a goal form and reviewing together can give you and your child feedback on whether they are making progress or not. It can help to get them back on course if they get distracted and unfocused. This is one sure way to hit those homeschool goals.

It’s never too early to teach your toddler to read and prepare them for homeschool.

Your childs development of early literacy skills depends on parental direct involvement in teaching reading and writing. Just imagine in just five to ten minutes a day you can well prepare your child for early success in homeschool.

Check out these statistics

  • Over 30 million adults in the United States and Canada are considered functionally illiterate.
  • 38% of all 4th graders can not achieve basic levels of reading profeciency in the U.S.
  • 42% of children leave school without achieving  basic, functional English in the U.K.
  • 33% of Australia grade 5 students do not meet the bench mark literacy skills.

As a homeschooling mom myself I know how critical it is to teach our children to read at an early age.
