[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP- to answer your question- I do not homeschool, but I do supplement my children's education at home. I believe that parents have always been the most important teachers, and as schools have more financial constraints placed on them, class sizes will continue to rise, and individual attention is minimal. Here are a few suggestions- 1. For history- my children (2nd grade and K) have recently been listening to "Story of the World"- audio CDs that are for children to learn history. My children find it quite interesting. We mostly listen to it in the car, and they often don't want to get out of the car until the chapters finished. 2. Website- my mother (who is a teacher) told me about superteacherworksheets.com Great website to print out short reading passages (some fiction, some non-fiction), I mostly stick to the non-fiction- my kids like to learn science type stuff, and reading comprehension questions are at the end. It takes them about less than 15 minutes to read and answer the questions. We do this more often in the summer time Hope this help. [/quote] Thank you![/quote]
