I've read some great posts on an unschooling list this week about "late" readers which has been interesting and reassuring. TBB loves his stories at bedtime, but does not want to be read to at other times. He's starting to want to know how to read (to read video game instructions of course) and he's spelt out and read a few random words. <br><br>He doesn't like to write AT ALL, except for random things here and there, so we roll with that. <br><br>We've just signed up for a trial at www.readingeggs.com and he's really enjoying it. It's slow to load though as we have dial up!<br><br>Do you have any unschooling website recommendations? I have been visiting joyfullyrejoicing.com (I think that's right) on and off for food for thought. I'm not totally into the RU lifestyle, TBB is so spirited that he needs a lot of help to get to sleep at night. Left to his own devices he simply wouldn't ever sleep. The stuff she says about housework, helping etc is interesting and often pushes me to question myself and my expectations.<br><br>Thanks for a really interesting post :)<br><br>K77 (though it doesn't show up as that when I choose my WP ID).sacredandscarredhttp://sacredandscarred.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2666213737256536725.post-39287802942061454212010-01-20T10:53:03.126-04:002010-01-20T10:53:03.126-04:00Thanks for providing such a thorough explanation o...Thanks for providing such a thorough explanation of your trial and error method for home schooling your kids. It really makes the case to me that home schooling, done thoughtfully, can best serve the interests of the child. I wish I could find a way to do it for my daughter, but right now my work and insurance situation does not allow it. Perhaps by the time she is four or five I'll have more flexibility. In the meantime, I can only do my best to treat her as an individual and not the subject of all the baby books and early child development books I consult.Melodyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08826926847932274929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2666213737256536725.post-675391065595800202010-01-20T14:29:47.068-04:002010-01-20T14:29:47.068-04:00Sounds like its going great, what a blessing that ...Sounds like its going great, what a blessing that you are able to spend this time with your children and teach them in the way that is best for them.Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11976780643615786556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2666213737256536725.post-92095611341449884062010-01-23T18:18:09.964-04:002010-01-23T18:18:09.964-04:00That is so gosh darn cool.

I like how you say you had to unschool yourself - it takes a lot of faith and forward thinking to be able to buck the system, even when the system is broken.
