Tip of the Day:
Keep on hand review books that can be used in place of regular schoolwork for those times when teaching is inconvenient.
I recommend a product that a local homeschooler in my support group has produced, called
Summer Books.
The author, Angela Ankers, has written Summer Books for all grade levels, as a way to review the main subjects: math, English, writing, reading comprehension, thinking skills, and science. They are great to have on hand for trips in the car, visiting Grandma, when Mom is having a baby, etc.
I have personally used this product in my homeschool and appreciated the fact that a one-page worksheet gave a comprehensive review of all the main subjects. These books are a wonderful way to brush up on skills during the year as well as in the summer.
For more information about the Summerbook Company, here is the website: www.summerbookcompany.com
Free worksheets are available on Angela’s website for you to sample.
If you have any other ideas on what to do for those times when a full curriculum would be too difficult, please comment.
