Homework helpers!!! Advance Your Homeschool And Studying Resources!!!

📚 1. Thank you all for joining me for my Usborne Books & More Enhance Your Homeschool/ Studying Resource discussion. Everything is here and ready to read. I hope you enjoy and let me know if you have any questions. Homeschooling has been a part of our lives for a few years...See more

💻 2. We all know the importance of teaching our children to read. It is said that readers are leaders, and all leaders are readers. This little saying is absolutely true. Looking into the future, though, it won’t be enough for our children to be readers of the written word....See more

📚 3. The beginning stages of learning to read start well before a child is school-aged. When a parent reads with their kiddo, they expose their children to language, both spoken and written. You might not think your child is looking and following along (especially those rowdy...See more

📝 4. When I was in school, I used to get frustrated when my math teachers would go too quickly for my mind to comprehend. It wasn’t until I got to college, when a professor took the time to sit down and work through my weak areas, that I actually grasped the concepts at hand. I...See more

🖋 5. For lots of kids, writing can be difficult. I know I have a couple kiddos who, because of weak fine motor skills, get easily fatigued. If you have a child with poor penmanship, or a child who hates writing, I have good news! Usborne makes thinking outside the writing box...See more

🤓 6. When it comes to science, we LOVE to use several resources. My first go-to when we get to a topic we don’t quite understand are our dictionaries and encyclopedias. There are a variety of ages and topics covered. One of our favorite and most-used science books is the ...See more

🎶 7. Not enough hours in your day to squeeze in music classes? I know that for us, walking makes it difficult for us to get out and about to enrichment classes. I love that I have the opportunity to introduce my kids to the world of music right here at home! (P.S. Ear plugs...See more

📚 8. History and Geography are two of my weak points. I only took two history classes in high school and I never took a geography class. But one of the absolute BEST things about studying at home is that we get the opportunity to learn (and re-learn) right alongside our...See more

📚 9. I have so many wonderful language arts books on my wish list I want to show some of them to you! Check out the second picture. Excuse the glare. 📚 ****** What is a grammar rule you always seem to forget? I always get verbs, adverbs, and adjectives mixed up. Always. (Check the comments for one more graphic.)

10. Art! 🦋🖌 Do you have a budding Michaelangelo in your home? Or maybe a child who takes interest not so much in the creating of artwork but rather learning about the different artists and their artwork? I have a good mix of the two in my family. My girls, for the most part,...See more

11. Last topic for now: Learning Palettes! If you haven't heard of learning palettes before tonight, don't feel too bad. These hidden gems (literally... I had never heard of them before a week ago) of Usborne are AmAzInG! They are self-correcting, so your kiddo can work on their cards by themselves. These make a GREAT quiet time activity. Even if you don't homeschool, this is a great way for your child to reinforce all they are learning. It also helps you see where their strengths and weaknesses are. #homeschool #homework #education
