Homeschooling 8-12 Year Olds

We talk about many of the ideas from Julie’s book God Schooling. When I read her book, the chapter on teaching ages 8-12 really jumped out to me, and I know that so many of my listeners are homeschooling those crucial ages, so that’s mainly what we focus on in this episode!

  • Underestimating kids in this age group
  • Do kids this age still need playtime?
  • Homeschooling math, reading, writing with this age group
  • How can we practically help our kids develop writing skills without overwhelming them?
  • Practical tips for parents of struggling readers
  • Traveling notebook
  • Experiential learning & Learning deeply
  • How can we expose our children to a wide variety of experiences in science, history, and geography?
  • What is “strewing”
