Thankfully, I discovered the joy of copywork early in our homeschool life. In addition to handwriting practice, copywork allows my children to remember and internalize information in yet another way. Repetition in the form of oral drill work, flash cards, and copywork make for a solid way to learn information. If you and your children …

Add some extra phonics practice to your child’s lessons this week with the phonics sorting activity! ETA April 2022: Note that this post was originally published in May 2013. I have updated it with …
When your children are young and still in elementary school, it is fairly easy to find themed worksheets and activities.

Since we are Americans, our family incorporates some form of U.S. History in our homeschool studies each year. In younger grades, we study and memorize the 50 states, learn about our Founding Fathers, and study our U.S. Presidents, just to name a few! I have always wanted to create a simple study for my children …
I’m so glad you all love the Writing Booklets with Picture Dictionaries. They are a frequent request in my inbox!
