We love studying geography in our homeschool. Do you include it in yours? We like to look at maps and refer to them when we are reading about a place in history or literature. We study geography as a part of our normal curriculum, drawing maps and talking about locations. When we read our Bible, we always look at a map and find the places discussed. Geography is integral in our homeschool. (You can read more about how we do geography here.) So, when we were given the opportunity to check out ... read more

Reading Better – Eclectic Foundations Review
We recently had the opportunity to review Eclectic Foundations Language Arts Level B from Eclectic Foundations and I'm very pleased we had this opportunity. I do believe we have found our language arts program! As a classical educator, for the most part, I had been a fan of the McGuffey Eclectic reader for some time but then I was "wooed" by fancy and new programs. I was probably swayed because I really didn't know how to make the McGuffey Readers work for us other than as a reader. ENTER ... read more

3 Ways To Inspire A Love Of Reading In Your Children
My daughter naturally loved reading. Though I have read to all my children from the beginning, my oldest seems to be the only child that loves reading at this point.

If your child is showing little interest in reading, you may be feeling frustrated. Sometimes moms and dads have to get sneaky about getting them to love reading, ... read more
