I keep thinking of homeschooling my 6 year old because he struggles with reading and math with this common core they are teaching now. He gets lost in the large classroom size and being a mom who has to work, it can be keep up in the nights. This was helpful and made more sense about what I am looking for and how to decide the best route. Thank you so much!

Thank you so so much for your video. I totally agree that prayer is the key. My son is in the 5th grade and he has been struggling these past couple of years. He was in public school from K-2nd and has been in online schooling for the last three years. He has still struggled to keep up with the curriculum. My son has several medical conditions that has been affecting his schooling. I am considering homeschool him so that he will not feel the pressures and stress of not completely comprehending his lessons. He does so much better with one on one teaching. Thank you and I look so forward to viewing your other videos.

If not check out HSLDA they are a wonderful source for how to start and requirements by state etc. I also recommend checking out homeschoolers on KZfaq for inspiration. Two to start with are 'Pepper and Pine' and 'There's no Place Like Home. Last tip look in your local area for homeschool groups and check out a Meetup. 😉

Tina D i decided to do both. My daughters are home and doing distant learning I am also doing my own lessons on top of it to encourage even more Learning. Maybe next year I will homeschool exclusively but this is a good way to ease into it. I also was having a huge issue finding the curriculum I was going with McGraw-Hill which I do like them but their team of specialists to help you decide what curriculum you want was not available because of Covid.so I didn’t get the support I needed.

In TN it jusy depends on if who you are enrolled with. If you use an umbrella school, you have to follow that particular organization's rules. If you enroll with the state you would have to follow their rules. With the umbrella school I use, my children weren't required to test at any grade level. It was optional.

I was wondering what you thought of the logic of English curriculum. I was thinking about using it. unfortunately where I live no one is using it. so I have no one to ask about it.

@TeacherMom 7 жыл бұрын

Are you speaking about the logic of English curriculum in general?

@janetlewis7071 7 жыл бұрын

Yes. I'm trying to figure out if it really works. The idea is great I understand the concepts. Are there any pros and cons? I don't know anyone who has bought the curriculum. I also do not know how successful it is. My child is struggling with spelling and sight word based programs.I kind of believe if you can't spell then you really have a problem achieving a higher education. We have hit that dreaded third grade reading epidemic. I call it functioning illiteracy.

@TeacherMom 7 жыл бұрын

To be honest with you, I do believe that knowing the mechanics of the English Grammar is necessary, but it doesn't always have to be taught using a curriculum. Some children "get it" and some do not, but it doesn't take away from the fact that it is suppose to be taught according the standards of our educational system. Now, there are ways to accomplish this with a young student. You can have them read a sentence that is full of errors, if they are reading, and ask them to correct what is wrong. If they do this with no problem then I am pretty sure they have a grasp of the English mechanics. It is always good to set your foundation early, so that when they get in high grades, they are up to par with what they are expected to know. For example cover the basics: nouns, pronouns, verbs, action verbs, helping verbs, capitalization, punctuation, first; second; and third person, how to answer a question in a complete sentence, etc. I think with younger kids copywork is a great way to implement this. Copywork is just copying down particular sentences or passage of any kind and because they are doing that they will, by repetition, learn the mechanics of English. Life of Fred Language Arts isn't recommended until high school. My son has always loved grammar and Fred was a great fit for him because he learned more than just "grammar". He has also learned more from the Language Arts program than any other book I had his siblings in. So, if a curriculum is not working for your child in this particular subject, or any other subject, drop it and get creative. If it is sight words that you are having a problem with, tackle a couple of sight words at a time. When my kids were younger, I labeled everything in the house. I wrote the name of things on index cards and that was how they learned to read. It was everywhere. Remember learning is a lifestyle and you want him/her to have the love of learning. Once that happens magic will begin and you will see your child progress tremendously. Blessings! (((Hugs)))
