Mom of Many: How to Find Calm in Your Homeschool Day

Let’s face the facts – sometimes being a mom of many and homeschooling a big family with lots of littles at home can be crazy chaotic. It’s a totally doable thing but you need a plan. You need to grab a slice of hope that you can stick to your fridge, slip it in your back pocket or plant it in your heart. Here’s the truth: there is freedom with a good attitude and a fluid routine!

1.) Develop a good routine

You might not realize it right now, but you are fighting a battle. It’s a battle for truth and goodness to prevail in your household. There are a lot of things working against you here. For one? The sheer numbers. You are outnumbered, mom. And your little sweethearts might resemble angels but they all have a little bit of bad hiding behind their twinkling eyes. If you don’t gain some semblance of order over the little mischief makers they will overpower you and they will win. Take a quick tally of the basics: hours in the day, things you need to get done, extra curriculars, chores, naps and meals. Figure out the best time to squeeze those things in your schedule. I like to keep a magnetic white board on my fridge and quickly jot down the basic makes or breaks of the day. If there are certain things that need to happen and places you need to go, include them there. It’s important, for me, to have a visual to guide me throughout the day. Otherwise, I can be quickly distracted.

2.) Don’t let the schedule rule you

That brings me to this very important point. So, now you have a schedule – don’t let this schedule rule you! I’ve been there and done that. I also ended up hiding in the bathroom and trying to escape both the chaos and the schedule that ran off the rails. Say it with me – your schedule is f-l-u-i-d. Fluid: (adj & N) In physics, a fluid is a substance that continually deforms (flows) under an applied shear stress. (Wikipedia) There will be stress, mama, and you and your schedule needs to continually flow so that you don’t break.

3.) Find a co-op or another homeschool group

Just because you are a mom of many doesn’t mean you can’t find your tribe. This has been a lifesaver for me. I tried this big family homeschooling thing with no support group and I was a mess. We are people who have thoughts, feelings, emotions and we need friends. Yes, your kids need this too – but you know what they say, “if mama ain’t happy…” You need to have some outside support. There are co-ops that are just for fun extracurriculars, some are purely academic classes, I’ve even found groups that just get together a couple times a month to take field trips and do playdates. Find a group. These will be your people. Trust me, don’t isolate yourself and only make friends with people on the internet. There will come a day when you wake up and you realize you long to have deep friendships with other moms who get it.

4.) Don’t be afraid to try new things

If your curriculum isn’t working – toss it. I mean don’t actually throw it away but you get the idea. You can always sell (most) curriculum at local book shops, homeschooling stores, online forums and even some Facebook groups. Don’t use something that makes you or the kids unhappy. I honestly believe there is something out there for everyone. (We recently started using this system which works beautifully as a mom of many because it is so much less to keep track of Simplify Your Homeschool with Notebooking Journals)

5.) Try a Curriculum that Combines Ages & Grade Levels

When you have lots of kids of different ages, it is important to find a curriculum that combines easily. This makes it so much easier to do school. Here’s how it works: Find a curriculum that spans the ages or grade levels of your kids and that can be made more difficult or easier depending on age and ability. Some combined age curriculums that I’ve tried are: Simply Charlotte Mason, My Father’s World, and Heart of Dakota. You can read more about our recent year with Heart of Dakota Preparing, as well. I don’t consider Heart of Dakota perfect for combining large spans of ages but it can be good if you pick a lower level and add on the additional reading packages and extension pack.

6.) Don’t Listen to the Naysayers

There will be people who look at your life in judgment of your big family and your plans to homeschool as a mom of many. They might even look you in the face and tell you that you can’t do this. They will question your life choices. They will get all philosophical on you. They will tempt you to throw your kids back in school – for your sake. For their sake. Because it’s easier. Because they will be worried for you or for your children’s well-being. Just know that even though homeschooling has grown to be hugely popular still many people still hold untrue beliefs about homeschooling. You don’t need to be listening to these people. Check their wisdom, their knowledge, and their motives.

Just remember you aren’t alone in this! Do you have a big family? Are you homeschooling a large family? What tips do you have to share?

Third Grade Memoria Press Literature Guides {Review}

Third Grade Memoria Press

Literature Guides {Review}

If you are anything like me, you long for your kids to read the classics and to love them, to appreciate them, and to learn from them. Although I tend to waver between the classical education homeschool model and the Charlotte Mason approach, both of these methods strive to include classic works of literature in their children’s education. I’m thrilled to share with you this review, today. We love using the Third Grade Literature Guide Set from Memoria Press to explore great classic books like Charlotte’s Web and A Bear Called Paddington.

We received the complete set of Third Grade Memoria Press Literature Guides and teacher guides which, in addition to Charlotte’s Web and A Bear Called Paddington, include Farmer Boy and Mr. Popper’s Penguins. My kids had fun deciding who would read which book first.

My 11 year old chose Charlotte’s Web and my 8 year old chose A Bear Called Paddington. We decided to take a different approach for each of my kids. My 5th grader, who has dyslexia, and who reads below grade level, is splitting his reading of one chapter of his book every day and then on the third day he reviews the material while completing the two pages in the workbook. I decided to help him with the comprehension questions. My 3rd grader who has excelled at language arts is reading a chapter every day and then completing her workbook pages mostly independently.

Each chapter of the book is represented on a two page spread in the workbook. The pages are all laid out in a similar way – beginning with 3-6 keywords which may be difficult for the reader. The goal is to go over these before you or the students starts the reading section. These words and definitions are found at the top of the left side for each chapter. Then the guide moves on to vocabulary. The vocabulary is extensive and rich – most of these words my kids weren’t truly familar with. In this section, a sentence from the book is displayed. One of the words in each sentence is highlighted and meant for the student to define.

I allowed my kids to use an online dictionary if they had trouble understanding the meaning of the word. The next section is a series of comprehension questions to test the students memory and understanding of the passage.

There is also a small quotations quiz – a kind of “who said it”. This is followed by discussion questions and an extra enrichment activity. For instance, in the “Paddington” book my daughter was told to located the continent of South America and find Peru and the Lima on a world map (Paddington was from Peru). Then as a follow-up, she was to draw a map and the bear’s route! There is even a recipe in the back for making Paddington’s favorite food – marmalade!

The teacher guides are very helpful. It is laid out in the same way as the student book but with the answers clearly printed for each section. In the back of the “Paddington” teacher’s guide there are quizzes and a final test along with answers to the discussion questions. The quizzes also have a separate answer key in the back of the book. The quizzes, which are not available in the student book, span four chapters each. You will need to make a copy of the quizzes and tests to use with your student. I noticed that each guide is slightly different from one another. For instance, Mr. Popper’s Penguins doesn’t feature quizzes or tests whereas the others all do. It also doesn’t have an enrichment section but it does have an activity. Both Mr. Popper’s Penguins and A Bear Called Paddington are shorter therefore have less chapters in the guide, as well.

Make sure to check out the appendix in your teacher guide. In addition to the orange marmelade recipe in the back of the “Paddington” teacher guide, The Farmer Boy teacher guide contains illustrations and info on common farm machinery from the 1800s and clothing from that era, as well. It also has a biography on Laura Ingalls Wilder and a recipe for Bird’s Nest Pudding! The Charlotte’s Web teacher guide features a section on spiders. Each teacher guide is like a treasure chest of information and fun for both student and teacher!

My Thoughts:

I love this program for several reasons!

I love that it uses real classic literature. These are books that I would want my kids exposed to either by reading them quietly to themselves – or as read alouds!

I love that this can be done independently or together with a teacher. I assisted my son with certain sections but my daughter was able to do this by herself.

I also like that it includes a section on vocabulary, a section on comprehension, and fun projects. This is so important for all kids and especially for kids who struggle with reading comprehension.

These focused sections and fun projects really help the story come to life.

They are made with a sturdy thick laminated cover and heavy weight pages so they will hold up. In addition to this, I love that they aren’t overly thick and not intimidating to elementary age kids.

This curriculum seems to really give a good foundation to children and is wonderful for increasing their comprehension skills while introducing them to the classics! I plan to use this in the years to come and look forward to seeing what books are in the next grade level! You can’t go wrong with these Memoria Press Literature Guides!

Strategies for Homeschooling a

Special Needs Middle Schooler

This post contains affiliate links. Please see my disclosure policy.

I’ve hesitated to write too much on how to homeschool a child with autism because each child is so different. I know that every child is unique – but the autism spectrum brings upon its own version of this dynamic. It’s uniquely unique There are kids who are high functioning and low functioning. There are kids who have high academic success rates and there are kids who have a cognitive delay. For the purpose of this article, I want to focus on how to teach kids who have developmental delays, including cognitive impairment. I want to encourage you that special needs homeschooling can be done – and done well – with the right tools.

If you are new to homeschooling, first I want to say “Welcome.” You can do this because you are your child’s best advocate. You care about your child, you love them, and you know them. The thing I’m realizing about special needs homeschooling and having a special needs middle schooler is that now is the time to start focusing on the future. There are gaps in my child’s learning and understanding and my goal for the next few years is to push him, to challenge him, and to try my best to get him where he needs to be so that he can have a fulfilling life.

Questions to ask as you aim to get started: Special Needs Homeschooling

What are your child’s strengths and weaknesses?

Does your child love one particular subject? What do they excel at academically? My son loves math and while he does fine at reading he doesn’t enjoy it as much as he does math. Some subjects might need to be presented in a different way for them to grasp it if they struggle with it.

What level are they working at academically?

If you are unsure of what level your child is working on, you might choose to get an outside assessment. There are some online tests that assess reading level or math comprehension level. The goal is to challenge your child without overwhelming him.

What are the life skill gaps?

These are skills that they might need to know now, but moreover, they are working toward a specific goal. Kitchen skills might include preparing a snack or even a meal, putting dishes in the sink or loading the dishwasher. These are skills that build off of each other. They might include picking up their own school material and putting it away in a cabinet, wiping their sink, mopping, or vacuuming. Figure out where they are and create a map of the life skills they have already worked on and what they are currently working on. I tend to work on life skills 1-2x a week at this point because he is at a maintenance mode with so many. I want to keep moving forward but don’t stress it every day.

Do they have self-care skills?

Assess your child’s level of self-care skills, which for some might be considered life skills. I tend to think of them somewhat differently. This is something they need to work on every day like brushing their teeth, hair, showering, dressing, putting on deodorant, picking out appropriate clothing, actually getting dressed, putting on shoes, and tying shoes. It might even include buckling them in the car or opening and shutting the car door. We work on these skills every day.

What would make a great reward?

If your child needs shorter work times, figure out a good source of “fun” that could be used in his downtime between work periods. This might be an app on your iPad, it might be a song, a video clip (5 min or less), or a board game you play with him for a few minutes. Some people do use food as a reward but I hesitate to do this in our home.

How is their behavior?

If your child is expressing unwanted behavior you should look at what the cause could be. Sometimes problem behavior emerges when my son is bored, overstimulated, not understanding the subject matter, or when he is flat out seeking attention. We have gone through times of problem behaviors, but the best thing in our case was finding an angle that makes learning enjoyable for my son. Always give options – I ask him to pick between two start times for a particular subject. We are using some fun material that feels more like a game than “work” and he is motivated to keep playing with no breaks because he doesn’t realize he is doing “work”.

Do they qualify for any services?

Whether through the public school, the state, or privately – your child might qualify for services. ABA, physical, OT, speech

Find opportunities for practicing social skills and other life skills.

Plan trips and outings (library, restaurants, fast food, grocery store, fire station, zoo, post office, pet store, big box stores, parks…) Find ways that your child can practice and learn through doing.

Make a plan to increasing life skills and social skills

Jot it down in a notebook or Print our Life Skills Worksheet.

Collect books which will help with functional skills

I recently bought Life Skill Activities for Secondary Students with Special Needs, Building Real Life Reading Skills, 25 Super Cool Math Board Games, and Comprehending Functional Text .

Remember that your homeschool doesn’t have to look like everybody else’s … it needs to be effective for YOUR child to learn in the best environment with the best tools available!

How to Homeschool when you Suspect Dyslexia

It’s a little bit scary and a somewhat disheartening when you hit a roadblock in your homeschool. In our family, that roadblock was when my son struggled to learn to read. I tried a well-respected curriculum but it just wasn’t clicking. We started another one and he fought it.

Not knowing if it was my teaching style or if I was doing something wrong, I wondered if he just wasn’t ready. So many people warned me that boys struggle with language arts. Still, my curiosity got the best of me. Could it be the dreaded D word?

Homeschooling with dyslexia doesn’t have to mean the end of the road. There are some easy tips to making it work for your family.

Finding Answers

I wouldn’t suggest that you wait as long as we did to get some answers. Even though I started to wonder around age 7, we waited about a year before we called a tutor. I truly believed that one day there would be this “a-ha” moment. When that didn’t come, we made the call. After sitting with the tutor for a couple hours a week for about 5 months we realized it wasn’t my teaching. There was something more working against us. She recommended he get an evaluation.

Get an Evaluation

The evaluation took place at a child psychologist’s office who did several tests over the course of two days. The tests did not just include reading but a series of questions including math and other skills which would help determine his cognitive level and academic level. Apparently, she was checking for other problems, too, namely ADHD. He didn’t have ADHD but at age 8.5 he was diagnosed with dyslexia and dysgraphia.

Upon receiving the diagnosis and the suggestions from the psychologist we finally felt like we had a plan. We hired a speech therapist and an occupational therapist for him. The occupational therapist only worked with him for about 3 months but we saw tremendous improvement in his handwriting. The speech therapists worked with him on his auditory processing skills for close to a year.

What type of curriculum?

The biggest improvement we saw, however, was with an internal change in how I homeschooled him. At the time of the diagnosis, I was using a literature based curriculum with him that did not work well because of his lack of reading skills. This particular curriculum focused on allowing the child to read voraciously. The goal was to learn all about science, history, and Bible through great literature.

A literature based curriculum doesn’t do what it’s supposed to do when you can’t read at grade level (or above). With the lack of reading, you can’t obtain the knowledge you need to do well in the extra “content” subjects. While this is a great curriculum for other children, it simply did not work for us at this stage. I realized that it was unfair to “punish” him for not being on grade level with reading by making him do an easier curriculum. He would miss out on the rich content of these subjects all because he lacked reading skills. He longed to have the same knowledge as a kid in his same grade, so we made modifications.

Our psychologist walked me through some options on modifying the curriculum. I settled on the process of scribing for him. He would tell me his ideas, his answers, his stories and I would type it (or write it) for him as he spoke. I also read aloud to him – all the time. This way he got to enjoy literature even though he couldn’t read on grade level.

We also started to get him books on CD along with a copy of the book he was reading so that he could “read” to himself. We really focused on subjects he enjoyed like content subjects: history and science. He excels at Math so I made sure to make sure he knew how well he was doing. The years between ages 7 and 10 were a blur as we struggled to figure out the plan for each day, each month, each year. I want to share with you what I learned about homeschooling with dyslexia.

Steps to take when your child has a reading delay

Homeschooling with Dyslexia

1.Figure out which type reading philosophy & system to use

I researched what was out there and I realized that there are two main types: Orton-Gillingham, which “is language-based, multisensory, structured, sequential, cumulative, cognitive and flexible”(source) This process focuses on teaching the basics of word formation before the whole word. Typically, it is a rigorous program which goes through all the phonemes and builds upon each part of the word the child learns. It is very systematic and teaches a rule for each written symbol (letter).

Phono-Graphix is kind of the opposite of O-G. Phono- Graphix teaches the sounds which might appear in words and then all the different letter combinations that may go with those sounds. Some kids do really well with one over the other, however, in our case we used a combination of both and had great results.

2. Figure out which reading program to teach

Once you decide on a system, then it’s time to pick the actual curriculum.

Here are some popular programs which use or are based on O-G:

All About Reading

Wilson Reading

Reading Horizons at Home

Logic of English (Read my recent review of Logic of English Essentials)

Some popular phono-graphix curriculum:

Reading Reflex

ABeCeDarian

3. Scribe for your child

Whatever the assignment, you can simply pick up a pen or use your laptop and write all of your children’s answers down for them. Let them use their voice and you be their assistant.

4. Read to them a lot

Let your child gain interest in the written word – even if they are not the ones reading it. This will help their understanding of language arts, spark their imagination, and allow them to enjoy literature without having to wear themselves out.

5. Let them do copy work

Charlotte Mason’s homeschooling philosophy states that children should do copy work for 5-10 minutes. These short lessons help the child not to get burned out and they do more than just teach nice handwriting, it actually reinforces good grammar and spelling!

6. Try Cursive

Research shows that cursive is easier to learn than printing because the strokes are all connected as one unit instead of separated as it is in printing. The International Dyslexia Organization states, “All lower case cursive letters can begin on the line, so fewer of them are likely to be reversed.” Some say that it may, in fact, help the brain make connections thus helping the student learn to read and write. According to PBS.com, “cursive can help them with the decoding process because it integrates hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills and other brain and memory functions.” If you are trying to improve the brain’s memory and focus then it might be worthwhile to check out something like AddieUP Brain Supplements, which can give you energy and focus on the task that you need to complete.

7. Teach Spelling

My daughter (who is not dyslexic) can spell almost perfectly without a spelling program. She loves to read and spelling just comes naturally for her. This is what is called a “natural speller”. My son, who has dyslexia, is not a natural speller. Spelling is painfully difficult for him – one reason, it appears, is that his visual memory is very low. He doesn’t remember how the word looks in his memory. He always guesses at spelling – many times his guess is very phonetic but not correct way. There are programs that will help you teach your child, you just need to find them.

All About Spelling – This is a multi-sensory approach to spelling using principles of O-G.

Logic of English Essentials – This is the same curriculum I listed above (under O-G reading), it is an all-encompassing product which teaches spelling, reading, and grammar.

Phonetic Zoo – Excellent for auditory learners. This program is on CD and is done independently.

8. When ready, find a good fluency program

A year ago, we started an excellent fluency program with our son. This is to help him build his reading skills to increase reading speed, tone of voice, and comprehension. Read Naturally Live is an online curriculum which can be used almost independently.

Our son uses it to practice a one-minute reading multiple times until his speed is within the range I set for him. He practices it with the voice of a “teacher” who reads it along with him. At the end of each lesson are vocabulary words, comprehension questions and a final test on timing.

9. Encourage their love of reading

Buy them books on CDs, audio dramas and graphic novels. Find books beneath their reading level to help them build confidence, as well. Find books on subjects that truly interest them – perhaps with beautiful pictures or fun plots.

10. Find their Strengths

This may seem like it doesn’t go along with teaching reading but it does. All children have strengths. Sometimes, when there is a learning disability or a special need, it is easy to focus on the weakness rather than the strength. We need to be especially careful that we find what our children are good at and boast about it, encourage them, spur them on.

Over time, if not already, your child will realize he is slower to learn to read, write, and spell. He might also be so frustrated by our language that he has given up hope to ever love it. He will be well aware of his lack of ability in this area – it is your job to reinforce his strengths. Whether it be math or science, art or music – it may be many areas – find them and look for ways to work their strengths into their reading and writing.

Have him dictate a story based on his favorite scientific principles. Let her imagination run wild after reading about the Middle Ages. Find ways to ignite that spark again.

Logic of English Essentials {Review}

Logic of English Essentials Review

Reading, writing, and spelling have never come easy to my 11 year old son. A few years ago he was diagnosed with dyslexia and dysgraphia, and we realized that struggle would continue but we needed to find the right tools to help him. In fact, although he has made great progress in the last year, reading has been his most difficult subject. I was so grateful to get the chance to review a product that is perfect for dyslexic students. For the past several weeks my son and I have been working through Essentials 2nd Edition from Logic of English.

We received quite a few products from Logic of English for this review including the student workbook, the teachers guide, the spelling journal, the essentials reader, the advanced phonogram flashcards, grammar cards, spelling rules cards, morpheme cards, and the tiles.

When I first received this curriculum, I started scanning through the teachers guide. While it might appear intimidating, at first glance, it is jam packed full of helpful tips, lesson plans, and information to guide you in teaching this material. It is quite thick and has a tremendious amount of information in it. It even has notes on using this material and creating a routine and schedule.

One of the first things I noticed is how organized the teachers guide is. The book in divided into lessons and each lesson into Day 1- Day 5. Each day is then divided into sections with a little box that either says “all” for every student or “A” “B” or “C” depending on what spelling level your child is working through. There is a different spelling list, for each level, and a variety of activities included.

Another reason I love this curriculum is that it is not overly writing intensive. For children with a lack of fine motor skills or dysgraphia, there is ample opportunity to use the letter tiles and play games with flash cards and game cards. These games reinforce the phonemes and spelling rules without frustrating the child who has problems writing for long periods of time.

I’ve found this to be very thorough in providing information to help you as the teacher. There is very little for you, as the teacher, to prep. As long as you keep your supplies nearby you will be fine to open and go. I also like that you can choose to go at a slower or faster pace, depending on the needs of your child. There is a section on spelling analysis, there is another page devoted to teaching handwriting and another on the phonograms.

I decided to start with doing a placement test on our son. The pretest was quite extensive and ranged from phonemic awareness, understanding the basic phonograms, handwriting skills, reading words, and spelling words. He landed in spelling level B which simply means that he will do the “B” section everytime we see that symbol in the book.

We aimed at completing one days section of work each day from Monday-Friday. We found that to take about 40-45 minutes to complete. If this is too much for your student, or if they need more practice and review you could divide it up into doing the day segment in two parts – maybe 20 minutes in the morning and 20 in the afternoon. You could even choose to do less in one day in order to keep your student’s attention.

I received the Essentials Reader in a PDF format. This book is divided up into lessons just like the teacher and student book is and coordinates nicely. This provides extra reading practice and reinforces the phonics and spelling rules that the child is learning in his workbook.

The spelling journal is another really nice part of this curriculum. In this book, the student can see the sounds that are made, the letter combinations which make them, and the rules for deciding which letters to use! There is ample space for the student to keep a running list of words that fit into the different categories. I think this is especially important as the student tries to make sense out of the English language – it helps to use this as a reference.

Pros

I love that it teaches the roots, prefixes, and suffix.
It can be used with a variety of ages/grades/levels
It’s open and go – easy for the parent/teacher
It is very thorough
Hands on
Fun games
All in one language arts: grammar, spelling, reading

Cons

There are lots of parts – stay organized or there is a chance of misplacing “parts”
It might take a long amount of time to work through the lessons
It can feel intensive at times

I decided to organize my flashcards and letter tiles in a little plastic bin. I’m not especially organized, but I knew that if I didn’t keep them together they would get lost throughout my house. I put each set in its own ziplock and then stuck them in this little bin. The bin sits on a shelf in our homeschool area until the time we need to do school. This ensures that the little ones don’t get into them during play time and it keeps me from searching for them when we need them!

Overall, I’m very happy with Logic of English Essentials 2nd edition. It is such a thorough program and is perfect for reading and spelling remediation and for children who have diagnosed or even suspected dyslexia.
