Teaching Reading Made Easy
Teaching Reading Made Easy is a guest post by Meeghan at Sight and Sound Reading.
It is easier than you think to teach reading. I always used to think that teaching someone to read would be a challenging experience. I never imagined my mother would prove to me it is actually very simple. This is the story of how I taught my daughter to read…

Homemaking While Homeschooling: Getting It All Done
Mother, wife, teacher, cook, housekeeper: there are often many roles a homeschooling mom needs to play. And sometimes it seems as if there is no way to maintain a house, feed your family nutritious meals, and teach our children each day.
Occasionally the problem is that we've set the standard too high, and we need to step back and think of what we can realistically accomplish. But sometimes the way we plan and how we carry out the plan can help us to homeschool and still be the homemakers we need to be.

History Through The Ages Timeline Trio Giveaway
I can't think of something more exciting than starting off the new year with these history timelines. These timelines make the perfect hands on activities for any history program.
HISTORY Through the Ages Timeline Trio helps put the puzzle of history together. It allow you to follow across eras of time using illustrated figures to represent people and events key to world history. Using them in the Record of Time notebook allows a portability that will become both a valuable resource and treasured keepsake!
With eras of “time” being such an abstract concept, a child can have difficulties wrapping his young mind around the idea of it – adults, too! Quite often the student will become frustrated and bored, resulting in a deflated desire to understand the subject at all. Understanding when and where events took place, however, is crucial to understanding the patterns that evolved throughout history! It also illustrates God's hand in all things from civilizations to sciences, something unfortunately left out in public school educations today. The key factor lacking in teaching the subject of history was transforming it from an abstract concept to a concrete framework, visible and even tangible! Practically all people, young or old, rely on visualizing in order to learn. A child will see patterns happening and will make sense of how one event leads to another.
Win One

Why You Need P.E. in Your Home School
I had the privilege to attend a Christian school through 5th grade. I loved every minute of it and I think my attendance there played a large part in shaping who I am today.
I especially enjoyed the opportunities for active play with my friends, and I had plans to play on the basketball team as soon as I got into junior high. I even won the award for “Most Athletic” one year. Just thinking about myself now as “Most Athletic” now seems laughable.
