My oldest son has always had a love for geography. It's always been natural for us to go find places on a map when we are talking or reading about different places in the world. I'm always looking for little ways to encourage his love of geography. One activity that has helped my son learn more about geography and map work is Maps, Charts and Graphs from Modern Curriculum Press. These are a … [Read more...] about Maps Charts & Graphs Review

180 Days In The Word
We recently, thanks to the author, tried out 180 Days In The Word. It’s thusly named because you spend 180 days of your school year reading through your entire Bible. When this was offered up for us to review I was pretty excited to give it a go as the boys had just been given new Bibles and I thought it would be a lovely way for them to get familiar with the new items. Let’s face it, it’s … [Read more...] about 180 Days In The Word
Hooked on Phonics
Teaching my first three children how to read was quite easy. I'm not even quite sure I remember teaching my oldest daughter to read, I think she taught herself! It's been a different story with my younger three children. My two younger daughters have some special needs, so I needed to do things a bit differently. Several months ago I turned to Hooked on Phonics as our reading program of … [Read more...] about Hooked on Phonics

A Review of Latin For Children
My children both asked repeatedly if we could learn another language. Maybe it's because of their world-traveling uncle...or that they want to be able to exchange secret messages in public. Either way I wanted to capitalize on their desire. We chose Latin, and my research into products to help me teach a language that I myself didn't know led me to Classical Academic Press. Classical … [Read more...] about A Review of Latin For Children
