Grown Folks Talking About Homeschool Preparations
The three best ways to make homeschool preparations are:
- Review your state laws
- Assess your child's academic needs
- Create a plan and gather your materials
Where can you go to learn what your state's homeschool requirements are?
One organization that has laid out the requirements completely by the state is the homeschool legal defense association. Visit their website at hslda.org/legal and click on your state on the digital map. When I homeschooled, I met with my state homeschool review board twice a year, once in the fall and again in the spring. Then I shared my daughters' homeschool portfolio, showing each child receiving regular and thorough education.
Assess your child's academic needs
Evaluate how your child/children learn best. Consider using a learning styles assessment to identify their primary learning style.
Remember, people don't have just one learning style. They have several, so try to present a way to learn different materials using all three methods, which are visual, auditory, and kinesthetic or tactile learning. During the early years of homeschooling, I often daughter new information by singing (playing educational music CDs), creating models, projects, or doing experiments. I also encouraged my children to learn by playing games like a bean bag toss to practice spelling new words.
Create a plan and gather the materials
My advice is simple before you buy a complete curriculum, try it out first.
Try different curriculums to see what your child likes and dislikes. Of course, you want to give your child only work that he or she likes, but you should consider how they work best so that you can avoid meltdowns. Review what children in your state should be learning based on their ages or grades. Next, write out or type up your weekly objectives. This will give you a frame,e work to stay focused and make sure your child is thriving. Read reviews, and talk to others who may have used the curriculum.
