Rethinking Language Arts in Homeschooling

Let’s redefine. Let’s look at education differently. 👉What if life was filled with words and not just 9:30 everyday in English class? 👉What if “language arts” wasn’t a separate curriculum but was incorporated into everything? 👉What if reading time was all reading forms and not just assigned books? Cookbooks and fact books count! 👉What if comprehension questions came from the zoo placard or history site? Change your view. ❤️ For the #hereisourhomeschool challenge from @intentionalhomeschooling , the topic is “language arts”. If I said that phrase to my kids, they wouldn’t have a clue what I was talking about. 😉 🔹Reading - I never found a curriculum that really clicked with us. We just figured it out when they were truly ready. 🔹Spelling curriculum - The bigger kids copy the misspelled words in their writing. When Mom remembers. 😁 🔹Handwriting - I wish I’d found @thegoodandthebeautiful books years ago. 🔹Grammar and writing - I don’t do hardly anything until 4th grade with our #classicalconversations curriculum # Classical Conversations that I teach. Even then, it’s based on history! No “English” class exists in middle school and high school. CC does grammar in Latin, and writing is mixed with all topics. I love that skills aren’t specific to subjects in the Challenge years. Look for the opportunity to double dip your kids’ learning. And call it done! 👉I’d love to help relax your homeschool and family learning! Feel free to send me a DM with any questions. ❤️ Bobbie . . . . .
