Teaching Creative Writing with Bardsy Homeschool

teaching creative writing

For some reason, I thought teaching creative writing to my homeschooled kids would feel simple. I’m a writer! But, feeling comfortable as a writer didn’t quite equal to easily teaching the skill. Helping my students put together an academic paper? Not a problem. Teaching creative writing?  Not so much. So I feel grateful for helpful tools in this area. I’ve discovered how Bardsy Homeschool can

Homeschool Spelling with Spelling Power

When we first started homeschooling, spelling was one subject that I thought I could easily handle with a workbook.  We trudged through  many years of Abeka spelling books and then switched to Spelling Workout for a few years with the youngest boys. By the time I reached my third child, spelling lists and tests had begun to try my patience.  It seemed silly for them

Introducing PRIDE Reading Curriculum: an Orton-Gillingham method

The pace of my children learning to read varied widely between five kids. Kind of like the tortoise and the hare! Some took off almost on their own or with a sibling’s support.

Morning Time Is Better Together

Morning Time goes by many names: circle time, morning basket, even symposium. Our time learning together anchors and defines our homeschool. Better Together by Pam Barnhill has been a breath of fresh air to our well-established practice.

Morning Time goes by many names: circle time, morning basket, even symposium. In our home this time is anchored by our history study.  We read aloud from our spine book, look at maps, and have rollicking discussions.  From this firm foundation, we move into individual skill work in language arts and math.  But our time learning together anchors and defines our homeschool.

Handwriting Without Tears Cursive Success

What I believe sets Handwriting Without Tears Cursive Success apart form all others is its ease of use. It truly does take the tears out of handwriting. It uses a vertical style approach and most children develop a vertical stroke first when learning to print.

Handwriting is something I feel is still very important, even in this age of computers and spell correct. But that doesn’t mean I think it should be difficult. We have so many other subjects that need to be covered in our homeschools. How much time and emphasis should be placed on learning cursive in this modern age?
