#3: Homeschooling My Younger Sister!

12 minutes

Welcome to Episode #3 of Our Homeschool History.

This episode delves more deeply into our first year of homeschooling—when I was twenty years old; was married for a year and a half; had a one-year-old toddler; had just graduated from Ball State University with an elementary education degree; and more:

My young age of beginning homeschooling as a twenty-year-old teaching my eighth grade sister

How I was thrusted into homeschool leadership as a twenty-year-old---teacher/covering for Ohio homeschoolers; vendor at the first Indiana homeschool convention; taught others about homeschooling

The summer I read ten homeschool books, and we began going to homeschool conventions and seminars

Meeting Dr. Raymond Moore, the founder of Christian homeschooling

Using one of the first curricula available early on—Home Grown Kids by Dr. Raymond Moore

A tailored curriculum to Lisa’s level in each subject

Back to the basics

Reading a few times a day: silent reading at her silent reading level; oral reading at her learning level; read aloud by me at her listening level

Focusing on taking her out of her comfort zone to help her become more social, self-

assured, etc.

Super successful year in which she went from second grade reading level to sixth grade reading level

I have so much to share with you about our thirty-two years of homeschooling!

I want so many great things for you and your students!
