Online Reading Instruction for Homeschoolers

September 6, 2017//  by Sallie

Post may contain affiliate links to materials I recommend. Read my full disclosure statement.

I’ve heard many homeschoolers mention over the years how much their kids love Reading Eggs, but for some reason we never used it. When Caroline and I had the opportunity to try it out, we were interested since we always like looking for fun ways to learn on the computer! (Truth be told, I’m not …

How I Teach Language Arts – Relaxed Homeschooling in the Early Elementary Years Series 2

Relaxed Homeschooling Reading and Writing in Early Elementary

January 13, 2014//  by Sallie

Post may contain affiliate links to materials I recommend. Read my full disclosure statement.

I almost feel like it is dishonest to say how I teach language arts because I sometimes feel like I haven’t. I have facilitated a lot of learning. If there is any area where I feel like I’ve really embraced relaxed homeschooling and can see how well it can work, it is relaxed homeschooling language …

ABC Mouse Website for Toddlers, Preschool, Kindergarten, and First Grade

May 29, 2013//  by Sallie

Post may contain affiliate links to materials I recommend. Read my full disclosure statement.

Perhaps the best website I’ve used with Caroline is ABC Mouse. It is by subscription, but worth every penny in my opinion. There are two things that set ABC Mouse apart from other learning websites. The first is the high quality of the site in general. The graphics and production level are far superior to …

Baby Einstein Alphabooks

March 29, 2009//  by Sallie

Post may contain affiliate links to materials I recommend. Read my full disclosure statement.

We never really sat down and taught Caroline her ABC’s. It just happened naturally over time because we provided lots of interesting materials for her to use such as the Baby Einstein Alphabooks. So while we did do lots of things to provide learning materials and engaged with her about print and books, she was …
