Homeschool Made Simple by Compass Classroom

Are you thinking about homeschooling? Are you starting your first year of homeschooling soon? Maybe you have homeschooled a couple of years and hit a bump in the road and need a new approach. Maybe, like me, you have graduated a few and have homeschooled since 2000? Well this homeschool resource is for YOU and for me – the homeschool parent. It’s named “A Series for Parents” and is continuing education for us – Homeschool Made Simple with Carol Joy Seid.

Homeschooling CAN be simple, inexpensive and rewarding!

I’m excited to share this with you because it has encouraged me! Homeschool Made Simple is for all of us. This DVD and digital video course is like a mini homeschool how-to or a trip to your state homeschool convention. You will be armed with the confidence and knowledge you need to simply succeed. Carol Seid makes it easy!

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 🙂

Homeschool Made Simple Review at The Curriculum Choice

  • 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.

    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?

      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!
