Each and every stage of homeschooling looks different and is equally rewarding. Homeschooling the preschool and early elementary years can feel less stressful because they are so young and it’s harder to mess up. Our homeschool journey started during the preschool years and keeping it simple is key!
The first sign we had of their autism was a developmental delay in their fine motor skills. These are the exact skills needed to color, draw, and write.
The best learning-to-read homeschool curriculum is the one that fits your family. Having an autistic student, one with dyslexia, and one who was an early reader meant we used a variety of programs and methods to learn to read and they all ended with the same results, a young person who could read and loves doing so.
Welcome to Monday in our homeschool! It’s fun to see what real life looks like for someone else, so come take a peek inside a normal day for us. We are in our 5th year of homeschool, this year we have 4th grade, 3rd grade, and Kindergarten going on. Our homeschool this year includes online classes, family subjects, special needs.
Our school year is half over and in many ways it feels like it flew by and also went at a snail’s pace. Either way, here we are at the mid-point evaluating our initial plans. We tried several new things this year, many of which worked great! A few things worked not so well. We started the year with doing more online classes, a new local drop off co-op, and have one in public school. So let’s see how each student is doing.
