Big Book of Homeschool Ideas

Author: Homeschool Network

Wouldn’t it be great to have a resource you could turn to when you have a question in your homeschool?

How can I encourage my teens to be more independent learners?
What should a preschooler be doing for school?
How can I make geography practical and fun?
What can I do to make learning handwriting easier for my children?
What are my options for foreign language learning in homeschool?
What should I do if my child hates math?

In this book, we go beyond the basics of academics and delve into delightful methods like active learning, learning with video games, using LEGO® bricks for learning, teaching on the road, learning with movies, and gardening.

The Big Book of Homeschool Ideas talks about all kinds of children: boys, only children, twins, teenage girls, and perfectionists. There are chapters about special needs such as giftedness, bipolar disorder, dyslexia, and sensory issues.

The 55 experienced homeschool moms who contributed to this resource don’t hold back from sharing their best advice about managing a homeschool budget, balancing homemaking with homeschooling, and even maintaining a strong marriage.

Conversation, The: Challenging Your Student with a Classical Education

Author: Bortins, Leigh A.

Why do so many families stop homeschooling when their children reach high school? Why, when young adults are mature enough to apply their knowledge and communicate wisely, do we emphasize silence, lectures, and multiple-choice tests?

In The Conversation, her third book on classical, home-centered education, Leigh Bortins looks back on thirty years of homeschooling as she makes a compelling case for parents to stay the course through high school and experience the rich conversations that emerge during the rhetoric stage of learning.
Conversations strengthen and unify the family.
Conversations provide accountability for the good habits thatmake learning possible.
Conversations enliven the academic content that guidesstudents to become virtuous adults.

What else is in store for the Potter family? For Amanda, Jackie, Emmy, Grace, and their parents, there’s no such thing as an ordinary month!

Shouldn’t You Be In School?

Author: Hart, Angelina

We all choose to homeschool for a variety of reasons. Some for religious reasons, some political, some of us use curricula and others unschool. Yet the one thing we all have in common is that when we move through our day during what most people consider to be “school hours” we are faced with the same question: “Shouldn’t you be in school?” This book strikes a humorous chord with all of us that attempt to find creative ways of answering, ignoring, overlooking, informing, defending or explaining our situation when that inevitable question comes our way. Follow two young girls as they are faced with this question many times throughout the day and watch all that they learn while not in school. Whimsical illustrations created by the author and her two daughters, age 6 and 4. Author’s Note: I really appreciate the support for independent artists! This is obviously a self-published book that lacks somewhat in artistic layout and whatnot. The publishing house I used was a fill in the template kind of thing- but what it lacks in style in makes up for in heart! The price is also not under my control and self-publishing is costly per book. But I like to think that as a community we are willing to support each other and freedom of expression on topics outside the major publishing houses’ interests. I would love to see hundreds of children’s books on more ‘alternative’ subjects! So get writing everyone!! Thanks again for your support!
