How We Use Dover Publications Workbooks in our Homeschool

Having our workbooks within sight is always a big help! This magazine rack is above our family room couch and so the workbooks are easy to grab and go.

How We Use These Workbooks in Our Homeschool

As I mentioned above, we are currently using these workbooks for summer practice. When the, “I’m bored!” strikes, we pull them out. These workbooks offer a fresh approach to our usual way of learning. And mixing things up in homeschool now and then is always a good thing.

Dover Publications and Education.com WorkbooksThe writing practice offers fun ideas and prompts that have our younger children practicing – and actually not even realizing that it is language arts learning.

A question from an Instagram friend when I first shared about these workbooks: “Is it common core based?” Answer: “Education.com workbooks offer thematic content to actively engage children and provide them with fun-filled, memorable learning experiences. Written by teachers and based on subjects educators consider important, these workbooks have been tested by millions of educators and countless hours of classroom use.” No where in any of the workbooks or on the pages explaining the materials, do it say that any of the materials are common core based.

Bonus! perforated pages for easy removal plus a certificate of completion at the end of each section.

    Right now with my our year old we are doing letters and rhyming, so I can definitely see me using the Nursery Rhymes & More, Alphabet Alphabet and the four seasons. With my older son that’s 8..he struggles with writing. Not so much struggle but isn’t a fan of it. I think the tell me a story and Adventures in Writing would be good for him. Also, lets not forget the Fun with Nature and Let’s Go Outside..both of those would be great..especially with summer here.

    All of these workbooks look great. As my girl is older, I’d probably opt for the Science facts, the writing books and/or the USA workbook.
