What a treat to introduce you to my friend, a person who has poured encouragement and support and wisdom into me, Carrie De Francisco.   Carrie is a mom to 2 homeschool graduates, she is a treasured voice in the home school community through her podcast, her books, her speaking engagements and her amazing videos on Instagram. She also provides encouragement for the moms of differently abled learners and especially for moms of dyslexic learners. The bottom line is Carrie will encourage you today, wherever you are on your home school journey.  This episode is full of a lot of helpful and practical tips for families that are home schooling dyslexic learners.  Here they are: *Have your child teach someone else something, or explain something they love *Spend way more time on your child's gifts and talents than on the things they're struggling with! *Use the dyslexic font for your computer *Use speech to text because it is not cheating! *Have your child read aloud the paragraph they wrote using speech to text and then help them edit as they read it aloud *Use Grammarly –its your writing tutor! *Use audio books (Audible, Hoopla, Libby are 3 great ones!) *This article breaks down a bunch of audio book options. Read it here. *Math U See is Carrie's favorite math curriculum *Use colored markers, drawings or symbols to help them differentiate the words they're learning and/or memorizing.  Places to find Carrie: Her website here Her podcast here Her books here here and here Her Instagram account here  Some favorite quotes from today's episode: *“Homeschool kids don't just turn out OK. They can really flourish, even if it's hard in the middle.” GE *“Just because it's hard doesn't mean we're doing something wrong, or that our home schooling wasn't working, or that our kids are never going to learn. It just means it's different. “ CF *“If your kid has dyslexia or dysgraphia or dyscalculia they are gifted. They are gifted in so many ways. They have so many gifts they are going to be better than OK!” CF *“The Lord created our kids to be learning machines and we just need to trust the process.” CF *“God is going to use this. We don't know how and we don't know when, but we can trust Him.” GE *“Listening to books is reading books.” GE *“According to a study from Harvard, the number one thing that helped kids with dyslexia and dysgraphia be successful was to have at least 1 person in their life who is their cheerleader. At least one person who was their encourager.” CF *“As their moms, we know they are super smart and super intelligent, they just don't know it yet and it's our job to show them.” CF *For all the things that technology brings that can be problematic, there are also wonderful parts of technology that helps people with things like dyslexia. It can give them an opportunity for success.” GE *“Spend way more time on your child's gifts and talents than on the things they're struggling with!” CF *“Our culture likes to celebrate success right now, not the long, slow, version of success that some kids achieve.” GE *“Tell your kids over and over, ‘I love that about you'” CF

Steve Demme joins Yvette Hampton to talk about Family Worship in this kickoff to our Family Series, which will continue in January. Steve Demme, creator of Math-U-See and founder of Building Faith Families, is passionate about family discipleship. Steve challenges parents to rise to the responsibility of leading their families in daily worship and spiritual mentorship, reaping the reward of eternal transformation in their families. "We as parents have a responsibility to lead our children in God's word and to lead them in family worship." "We have such an opportunity, but not just an opportunity, a responsibility to lead our kids in God's word and to lead them in family worship." "Before you can teach your children God's word, you have to love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength." -Steve Demme This episode is an excerpt from the Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast. Listen to the full conversation here. Steve Demme and his wife Sandra have been married since 1979. They have been blessed with four sons, three lovely daughters-in-law, and five special grandchildren. Their fourth son has Downs Syndrome and lives with them in Lititz, PA.

Steve Demme joins Yvette Hampton to talk about Family Worship in this kickoff to our Family Series, which will continue in January. Join us tomorrow, Friday, and Saturday for very special bonus episodes. In these, Kara Walker joins Yvette to discuss how she was able to graduate from college with no student loans or other debt.   Watch this full conversation on our YouTube channel.   In this week's episodes we cover the following topics: What is God's design for the family in the area of Spiritual Development? How are the roles of the church and family different in the areas of worship and discipleship? Who should lead and what roles should dad, mom, and kids play in family worship What roles do scripture reading/prayer/scripture memory/songs, hymns, and psalms/fellowship play in Family Worship? Steve and Yvette discuss the importance of spiritual mentorship and how to approach children's ministry and youth groups as a Christian family. They also touch on how parents should model a love for the Word of God to their children and how to grow in that love if they're not already there. Finally, Steve lays out a practical family worship plan and talks about what that looks like in his home. At the same time he gives advice for how to address family discipleship when schedules are already too busy or the kids don't want to have anything to do with it.

Episode 34: Homeschooling Boys One of the big reasons that families tend to homeschool is that we don’t want a cookie-cutter education that ignores their unique gifts and callings. But do we try to school our sons the same way we school our daughters? Today’s guest, homeschooling mother of eleven, Jane Ann Bonbrake, is here to share some great ideas about Homeschooling Boys.

READING:  LeapFrog Letter Factory: https://amzn.to/3alplr4 This is just the absolute best way to learn letter sounds. I have my kids watch this 2-3 times a day when they're learning to read. Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons:     https://amzn.to/3aSFeem                                                        The BEST book for starting out or struggling readers. This is the number one thing I would work on! I started my kids at ages 4-6. A little dry, but push through! It's so thorough and backed by research BOB Books: https://amzn.to/2wUm3m4 Very easy books for the earliest readers. These are designed to help kids feel the immediate success that they "can read a whole book." Classic Start Books: https://amzn.to/2wUm3m4.                My kids love these. They are classic literature stories rewritten for kids. Swiss Family Robinson is a favorite and also The Time Machine. Good for ages 6-9. MATH:  If your child's school is using a common-core-based math curriculum, it may be difficult for you to understand the methodology behind it. So if your child has math assignments sent home with them, you may need a guide. There are plenty of free resources online, like these: https://www.pta.org/home/family-resources/Parents-Guides-to-Student-Success If you want your child to keep working on math assignments at home, the Saxon Math curriculum is really tried-and-true. It will likely have a familiar style to most adults, and it's easy to find used hardback textbooks on Amazon. For example:                             Saxon Math 6/5 (math book for average-advanced 5th grader or behind 6th grader.)                                             https://amzn.to/2U0iBhr                                                                   Look in the used book section to find some great deals! But consider taking this time to also memorize math facts, like multiplication tables. You can print out your own for free on https://www.math-drills.com/ Math-U-See, another popular math curriculum with homeschoolers, has some e-learning tools:                         www.mathusee.com/e-learning HANDWRITING:                                                                                   Print Capitals - Zaner Bloser Kindergarten https://amzn.to/3cO0Nih I like to start with this one, because it is scripted for parents and teaches you the headline, midline, and baseline, as well as directions like "pull down, push up, circle back." (Check out those used prices! I've always gotten ones that have about 5 pages written in them in pencil.) Kumon Lowercase Letters: https://amzn.to/2IU0XXL                           I like the Kumon books because they are pretty. But they are not scripted for parents to explain. That can be frustrating, which is why I start with a Zaner-Bloser book. Once you have the hang of it, you can move on to Kumon.

This episode I interview my friend, Ann, who is a homeschool mom to two boys ages 9 & 6, and a 2 year old girl (and one on the way!). Please enjoy our mostly uncut, unedited, un-technical and unprepared conversation. This podcast interview was two hours, so I split it into Part 1 & Part 2. This is Part 1. We cover how my husband and her shared the same superlative in high school, dyslexia, ADHD, being Holy Spirit lead in a season to use a Christian school for one child, Danny Silk, knowing your child's love language, "Yes" kid dates, chores, list of assignments board, doing Classical Conversations at home, Community Bible Study (CBS), Math U See, Singapore math woes, media time, detoxing from the summer, when your child finally falls in love with reading, glasses, unfun days, schedules that work, photo math app, star walk app, and much more. If nothing else you will walk away feeling more normal, less crazy, and think you're a better mom than both of us. For real though, I hope you are encouraged, learn something, laugh, and enjoyed this while you folded laundry.

Bill Coder from Math U See was so great to visit with me about their math curriculum. When we started homeschooling, there were two or three math programs that I felt like I was hearing mentioned over and over again. Math U See was one of the top two. We had never tried Math U CONTINUE The post Math U See appeared first on 101 Homeschool Ideas.
