Learning Suggestions For young children Elementary age :: Become aware of your child's learning style. Children's Corner :: Read aloud as much as you can - books above child's reading level. Good literature improves vocabulary, grammar and writing. Early Years Read-Alouds :: Games, puzzles, drawing, any creative activities are very important for the imagination and creativity. Draw-Write-Now :: Keep structured learning minimal. Reading, writing and math can be accomplished in 1 to 2 hours. :: If your child is losing focus try cross brain exercises: Reverse jumping jacks (arms up when legs are together). Toe touches with opposite hand. Brain Exercises :: If you or your child become stressed, take the day off or find a new way to present the material. Avoiding Homeschool Burnout Middle age :: Use child's interests and strengths for subject material. :: Begin more challenging high school subjects that your child excels in the most. :: Spend time on subjects your child enjoys. If math is difficult, work on it, but don't neglect their love for art, music, writing etc.... :: Allow subjects to take more than a year or less than a year. Taking time to understand algebra will go a long way when it comes time for college. |
