In recent days and weeks, I have received a lot of requests for grammar worksheets. Of course I send parents directly to Rod & Staff English because I have seen its fruit and it’s nothing short of lovely. However, some homeschool moms are using another curriculum and don’t want to purchase something new (totally understandable!) …

Spring Word Wall with File Folder Activities
This Spring Word Wall post was originally published in March 2017. I’ve updated it in a major way! Here’s the original post: Before I had the baby, I gathered a few ready-made worksheets and printables for my little girls to work on during our (very sporadic) school days. As I was putting together the resources …
Parts of Speech Recitation for 3rd through 5th Grades
As a homeschool family that teaches in the classical tradition, it should come as no surprise that Latin and English grammar are two of our core subjects.

Long Vowel Word Search Puzzles
While phonics and reading have come very naturally to some of my children, other kiddos of mine have struggled to internalize phonics concepts and read fluently.

Our Experience with Traditional Spelling I from Memoria Press
I’m in my 9th year of homeschooling, and it is shocking to me how much homeschool curriculum has changed throughout the years. The variety and types of curriculum offered have exploded. In my earlier homeschool days, I used and loved All About Spelling. It was a perfect fit for my oldest child. In recent years, …
How I Teach Spelling in Our Homeschool
When we first started homeschooling, there were a few subjects that I knew I would have to read and research to successfully teach my children. Math and writing come immediately to mind.
