How To Help Your Children Read

2009-01-29T06:05:00.000-08:00

Reading has always been a difficult chore for me. I call it a chore because when I was young and in school it was one of the hardest thing I ever had to do. I would do anything I could to get away from reading.


Most of the time the subject matter of the books offered in
class held no interest to me so I had little interest in
reading. I mean, after all, how long can you find joy in
watching Spot run? And I didn't even know Jane or Dick. Why
would I want to read about them?

I also suffered a little dyslexia and the jumbled up letters of
each word were sometimes a little hard to make sense of. I would
need to read some words several times before it made sense.
Sometimes I had to read the entire sentence over and over.

Back then, those many years ago, the teachers didn't have the
time or patience to work with each student and they never knew the problems faced by slow readers.

Homeschooling and the Family

2009-01-16T03:21:00.000-08:00

According to the National Center For Education Statistics, almost 1.5 million children underwent homeschooling in 2007 alone. That’s a lot of children. Once upon a time, homeschooling used to be a radical statement – something like a declaration of independence. It was the conservative Christians who advocated homeschooling in the ’80s and legalized it in every State. But the typical homeschooler of the day is not religiously motivated.

Recent surveys indicate that parents are actually quite fed up of the public school systems where much of the learning is superficial and compulsory. They are also concerned about negative school environment ranging from drugs and abuse to negative peer pressure. As a result, we have a surprising mix of people who form the homeschooling world of today. They cut across all religious and regional borders. Their main aim is providing meaningful and productive learning through a method that strengthens the bond between the various members of the family.

On-line Educational Sites

2009-01-15T03:07:00.000-08:00

On-line educational sites for Homeschoolers have sprung up all over the internet. They serve to help homeschooling families by providing extra curriculum and tools, when necessary, to allow for a well rounded education. When you have the cash to make such an investment or choose one that is affordable enough to fit your needs, you may end up with a false sense of security that you are actually meeting your child's need to develop independent thinking behaviors. The quest here is to encourage the child to be able to learn and have the desire to learn well beyond the homeschooling atmosphere. Raising self managers, leaders and successful followers takes on a new challenge for parents when trying to adapt a structured curriculum that does not take the individuality of your child into consideration. The Linked site here discusses something very important to homeschooling families: The number of hours per day for formal instruction. You will also be provided with links that discuss Homeschooling Methods, Grading and Homeschooling Vs other forms of education.
