List of Homeschool Made Simple Workshops
So what is included in Homeschool Made Simple? Workshops for you:
- Introduction
- Children and Reading – “a steady diet of great books…literature needs to be the core of your curriculum.”
- Choosing Books – Yes! Recommendation for the four authors your children should be raised on. I think we will go back through all these over the summer. LOVE this one 🙂
- Building Character in Children – “homeschool is a three-legged stool”
- Math, Writing, Science, Art & Music – “later is better” (Many of my own conclusions were confirmed with this one.)
- Bible, Creativity and A Typical Day – scripture memorization, “the point where talent meets passion”, “We’re doing life together”
- Children and Media – “people who read, succeed… unplug your family…You will never compete with Hollywood.”
- Teaching History Using Literature – “subjects that overlap and connect” Plus how to create your own custom curriculum.
Not only is each of these workshops rich with advice but Ms. Seid’s soothing voice will calm your fears and dispel the frantic. Worried about teaching literature? Math? Choosing books? Separate video workshops for those and more.

I love Carol Joy Seid’s advice in each workshop. Wish I’d had this when I started homeschooling!
Melissa says
Sounds like a wonderfully encouraging retreat for any homeschool mom to have. How long is the DVD? I looked on the site and can’t seem to locate that info?
Tricia says
That is a good question Melissa! The introduction is roughly 10 minutes and the rest of the sessions range anywhere from 20 to 35 minutes each. Packed full of great information!
