Beginning readers are not always eager to read. It’s something that can still be difficult for them, something that feels more like schoolwork than a fun activity. And you as a teacher may be in need of creative ideas for helping them learn to enjoy reading. If so, stay tuned;…
“Mom, I’m bored,” a young girl complains. “Well, why don’t you go find something to do with one of your siblings,” her mother suggests. “They’re all reading.” “Then why don’t you find a book to read? The bookshelves are full to bursting with books. Surely you could find something there…
Summer. What does it make you think of this year? Maybe you think of sunny beaches, sandy flip flops, and juicy pineapple. Or maybe you think of swimming in the pool, cookouts in the backyard, and time spent enjoying the great outdoors. Or maybe this is what you think of:…
Learning from a book or learning from technology? I guess you can tell my opinion on this question from the title of this post. I do learn from both and see both being useful, but I also believe that learning from a book is better. And here are five reasons…
Last week my blogpost on reading was on the topic of 5 reasons why we should choose good reading material. Today I’m doing a follow-up post with several websites for some of my favorite reading materials that fit into this category. These websites have lots of great homeschool resources! You…

How did I know, when my siblings and I were planning our tour of Europe, that the Netherlands was somewhere I really wanted to visit? How did I know I wanted to see windmills and canals, cheese and wooden shoes? How did I know I wanted to see a particular…

How the Learning Styles and Reading Relate to Each Other The three main learning styles in which students learn are visual, auditory, and hands-on. That doesn’t mean a visual learner can’t learn by listening or a hands-on learner can’t learn by reading, but it does mean a visual learner learns…
Just walk into a library and look around at the rows and rows of bookshelves filled with books. Books on any topic you can imagine. Books of all sizes and thicknesses. Looking at these books shows us just how much information there is that we still have to learn.
