Practice Spelling and Vocabulary with Word Ladders

Post by Rebecca Reid Leave a Comment

I’ve fallen in love with word links (also called word ladders, word golf, or doublets): games that change just one letter at a time to get to a completely different word. The game of word links were created by Lewis Carroll in 1877. My son, although a very strong reader, did struggle with vocabulary as a […]

Post by Rebecca Reid 5 Comments

The Benefits of “I Don’t Know” for a Homeschool Parent: Learning How to Learn

Post by Rebecca Reid 1 Comment

One of the true blessings of homeschooling is that I get to learn about everything along with my brilliant, curious, and excited children.

Logic of English Foundations

Post by Rebecca Reid 2 Comments

A few weeks ago, I overheard my kindergartner talking to his baby sister. “Are you an i, u, v, or j?” he was saying in his sweetest voice. “Because if you are, you cannot come at the end of an English word!” This he repeated a few times over the next few minutes as he […]

Normal Stages of Reading with a Baby or Toddler

Post by Rebecca Reid 6 Comments

As I’ve been through Reading 1000 Books before Kindergarten with my two oldest kids, I’ve realized that there are various “stages” of reading with children, especially reading with my babies. I started reading with my babies from their infancy, and my third child is nearly two. My thoughts on baby-reading stages are based on my […]
