Hello, I am Kristi, mom to 3 kids: 9 yo girl, 9 yo boy and 7 yo girl. I have read Learning in Spite of Labels and Choosing and Using Curriculum and heard...
You mean I could do this and remain sane? How is that possible? lol Nice to meet you, Kristi. I have a 10 yr old boy (extremely gifted), a 5 yr old girl...
Thanks for your welcome Vikki! I can only attempt to stay sane!! LOL I am just loving the resources that are discussed in the forums of Joyce's website and...
I have just begun to home school my 5 yr old. I just pulled her out of public school. Yesterday was our first day. It was great. We have a long road ahead...
Hi Kristi, Welcome to the group. We are glad you are here. Joyce is an excellent speaker that inspires and encourages, you are blessed to have heard her ...
I have used the Explode the Code workbooks from the beginning and I think they have really worked for all my kids. In fact, my two daughters are reading at a...
Thanks for the introduction Theresa. She will be speaking at our homeschool convention again this year. We have another meeting that same time related to our...
Hi everyone! I would like to submit some food for thought: There seems to be this recurring tone in many an email I read from the group. It seems that so...
I'm curious to know two things.....1) was your daughter professionally evaluated for dyslexia & if so, at what age and what led you to have her tested? and 2)...
Yes my daughter was professionally evaluated. It was the psychologist who suggested we get started with the Orton Gillingham approach right away. Keep in ...
Wow! I never knew this about dyslexia....I've never looked it up anywhere. Do you have some good websites that you'd recommend for looking up different ...
Hi everyone, My 10 year old son is autistic (high functioning). He will be in 5th grade next year. I am looking for ideas/suggestions on what to use for...
The International Dyslexia Association has a really good website. I found a lot of my information just by staying up all night and following links. I have ...
Have you gotten your Rainbow Resource catalog yet? You might find a bunch in there that you could look into. If you don't already have one, you NEED one....
Although I haven't used it, I have hear that the Four Square Writing Method is supposed to be good as a graphic organizer to break the writing process down...
Yes, I have that and I've looked at it a lot. I just don't like seeing something ABOUT it though, I like to actually see it. I'm a visual learner, as you can...
Hi, I have no idea if this will forward properly. It is something that came to me today from Jeannie Fulbright. She is the co-author, with Dr. Wile, of the...
If you want a curriculum I would suggest Understanding Writing by Susan Braderick. It is the only one out there that I know of that works on mastery and...
Kim and friends, I appreciated your thoughts. It is always a good reminder of why we are homeschooling our children. Now that my struggling academic skills...
Carolyn, What do they write during that five minute time? My son wouldn't have a clue what to even write about. Even when I give him ideas, he's stumped....
Debbie...I am so glad my son is not the only one who sits there and just says, I don't know what to write about! He then proceeds to throw something down on...
The 5 minute writing idea actually came out of one of Joyce Herzog's books/talks (if you will really want to know which one, I can do some searching)....
I would be remiss if I didn't mention that Draw and Write by Joyce Herzog opened the door to writing for my youngest son. This workbook combines creativity...
Funny thing. My son loves to be challenged ,but has no desire to beat any score if it means he has to write another word. Is there such thing as writophobia?...
Hi, So, if your child doesn't like to write, use that for a reward. If he can beat the score three times (one each day), he does not have to write a thing the...
My initial reaction was to offer some type of reward, too. I was glad to see you do it first, Carolyn. Here's my idea: Have your son determine something he...
ah ha! Now I am really thinking. I guess I never really considered giving rewards for completing schoolwork since it is something that is expected from him...
