Homeschool Curriculum

Parents who are deeply invested in their children's education can be hard on themselves and their kids. When exhausted parents are living the day-to-day grind, it can seem impossible to muster enough energy to make learning fun or interesting. How do parents nurture a love of learning amid childhood chaos, parental self-doubt, the flu, and state academic standards? In this book, Julie Bogart distills decades of experience--homeschooling her five now grown children, developing curricula, and training homeschooling families around the world--to show parents how to make education an exciting, even enchanting, experience for their kids. Enchantment is about ease, not striving. Bogart shows parents how to make room for surprise, mystery, risk, and adventure in their family's routine, so they can create an environment that naturally moves learning forward. If a child wants to pick up a new hobby or explore a subject area that the parent knows little about, it's easy to simply say "no" to end the discussion and the parental discomfort, while dousing their child's curious spark. Bogart gently invites parents to model brave learning for their kids so they, too, can approach life with curiosity, joy, and the courage to take learning risks.

"I've used other language arts curriculum and this is my favorite. Pair it with mcguffey readers and it covers everything. It's a gentle approach to language arts. the second grade can easily be done by a first grader if you'd like. The poetry is tasteful and my daughter loves it.. the pictures are beautiful. Very little busy work. Not a beat you in the head type of curriculum. it has picture study, poetry memorization, grammar, copy work, oral or written composition. I watched Simply charlotte mason video that recommended and I tried it after we got bored with the good and the beautiful. It's not scripted and doesn't need to be. I like this one better than first language lessons which was very scripted and repetitive. Pair this with mcguffey's for vocabulary, spelling and extra reading for a well rounded language arts curriculum that you child will love. Instead of begging to be done, she begs for another lesson."
