    Hi! Since you said you don't teach any of the lessons to your kids, I'd love to know how they learned to read. I've been home-educating my seven kids for 23 years now and I've still not found a way to simplify the process of teaching/learning to read.

    • @TheEclecticHomeschooler
      @TheEclecticHomeschooler 2 дні тому

      I think that definitely depends on the child and their natural inclinations. I should have been more specific, I definitely have had to work, at least some, with my kids prior to them being able to read. Two of my kids pretty much just picked it up without really any reading instruction, simply by me reading a LOT to them and pointing at the words. They pretty much just picked it up naturally. The other two (one with dyslexia), I’ve had to work with a lot more individually on phonics and things like that. We used curriculum with them (mainly Explode the Code which they were able to do pretty independently pretty early on). And then having them practice reading aloud to me short sentences with easy words working up to harder ones has helped them gain confidence. I’m sure you are already aware with having 7 kids, but I’ve definitely found that trying to push it too early just made more of a struggle for us both. Delaying until they were ready and excited to learn to read really helped with them being more developmentally able to learn the process. Having that internal intrinsic motivation is huge! And doing short focused times, taking breaks when they get frustrated, etc. has helped them to not get too burnt out and frustrated. Wishing you all the best!

    I have an online lesson planner that I use to plan a week or two in advance. Anything that doesn’t get done, I simply extend the lesson with a tap and delete what was covered the prior day. This planner costs me $12 a year and it keeps a permanent record of everything we accomplished for years. If I want, I can make a curriculum overview or skeleton plan right into the lesson plan ‘calendar”, just so I know what our goals are for the year. We homeschool through a public school charter that requires lesson plans, although we can use any curriculum we want and any hours or days we choose. The app I use is called Planbook and it can be used on a computer, tablet or smartphone. It is total planning freedom without the white-out! BTW…..Loved your video!
