Homeschooling ABCs from Knowledge Quest is a 26 week course that will be beneficial to new homeschoolers AS WELL AS those of us who have been doing it for years. The cost of $10 a month is very reasonable and the fact that you can download to your computer for use indefinitely makes it a bargain. I would like to see it have an audio format for those moms who do not like to read in front of the computer or who would listen while working.
For all you homeschool moms that ask me advice , this is full of concise yet plenty of how-tos that will ease your mind. Plenty of links are given for further study. The small increments of learning allow you to begin implementing right away without being overwhelmed. Her homework assignments encourage you to begin the implementation rather than just think about it. The information is so simple and easy to follow and truly works to make your homeschool easier and more enjoyable. Yeah!! Count on 26 weeks of ongoing encouragement which even us "veterans" need. Some of the lessons have many links to click on and explore various curriculums, etc. AND, FREEBIE LINKS are included which are always fun.
A sampling of her lesson topics: finding the best curriculum that works for YOUR family, Keeping a central focus on the Bible, Learning styles, Copy the classroom-NOT!, Getting together with other homeschoolers.
One of my favorite aspects of this course is that it is not drawn out, but concisely written to allow busy moms the time to be encouraged and learn without having to read a big book on the how-tos. Also, the fact that even veteran homeschoolers can gain a blessing is wonderful.
