Get Rid of an Old Book and Find Some New Favorites
Some homeschoolers sit in school desks, and some do their work laying on the floor. Some homeschoolers use an all inclusive curriculum, and some put together everything from scratch. Some homeschoolers keep neat and tidy grade books, and some don't keep grades at all.
Homeschoolers vary widely in their practices, beliefs, and schedules. However, one thing [...]

What to do when your early reader makes a mistake
1. If the mistake still makes sense, don't worry about it. For example, if your child says, "house" and the word was "home," just let them continue reading.
