Making homeschool decisions easy
Sing, Spell, Read and Write is a curriculum that I had the joy of being introduced to in the very beginning of our homeschooling adventure. Now, I am in the trenches of this program with my second child. This child learns 100% differently than my first and I am beaming at his success with reading and writing. What type of program is this and how

I was thrilled to add in Wordly Wise 3000 (Second Edition), in which we are currently using Book 3. While I can only speak for Book 3, since it’s all we have used, hopefully readers might chime

Since my boy’s love to play on their (non internet) computer with their educational games, I thought this would be great to try out. In the past we looked into different curriculum that offered computer learning and we currently use a (non-internet) computer program for my oldest son. Since we
