OUR HOMESCHOOL CURRICULUM

allie • January 30, 2018

I  went on Instagram this morning talking a little bit more about our home school curriculum.  I thought I would share a blog post that links all of our resources in one place so you can easily find them:)

I thought I’d start with our favorite book to teach kids to read, Teach your child to read in 100 easy lessons….

I have used it with both Tate and Kynlee and it seriously works!  Teaching my kids to read was one of the most stressful parts of homeschooling littles, and this book helped SOO MUCH!!!

Along with our reading curriculum, we started using Explode the Code since Kindergarten  There are 8 books total and the kids are just finishing up the last two books now.

For our spelling curriculum we tried something new this year and went with A Reason For Spelling.  It was has been a great fit for our family and so I think we will continue to use it.

It’s important to note that you need both the workbook and the teachers manual for this curriculum.  We are also using A Reason for Handwriting for our cursive for the year.

For History, I have been reading this book to my kids.  We read a chapter every day or two.  I got this reference from Ann Voskamp and we have really enjoyed it.  It is an overview of the history of our world from the very beginning.  It is a great conversation starter and also can lead into many different independent studies and topics:)

We have been using Math Mammoth since 1st grade and love it.

And lastly, this is our typing program the kids just started this year…

Please feel free to message with any questions and I’ll update this page when we add new curriculum!

If you haven't put it together yet because I say it time and time again, but the cabin is truly my happy place!! I absolutely love it here. It's my spot that I can truly unplug, be intentional with family and friends and enjoy the simplicity of life. What it's really all about at the end of the day... We LOVE to host here at The Cabin on Dunns during the summertime. Almost every night we have company over to enjoy this little slice of heaven with us. Over the years we have added to our collection of hosting fun to do with everyone. Below I put together some of our favorites and what we use most while company is over!
