So far in this “Homeschool Rhythms” series we’ve talked about morning time, narration, getting ready, and group work. Today let’s talk about individual work!
When you ask a seasoned homeschooler about structuring the day, you will often hear the same refrain: “combine as many subjects as you can.” But what about the ones you can’t combine? The ones that children really need a certain set of skills to master?
You can generally look at academics in two categories: skill-based subjects and non-skill-based subjects. Skill-based subjects are really best taught 1-on-1 or in a very small group of kids at a similar level of skill. I like to chunk these into three categories: Language (learning to read, write, and speak other languages), STEM-L (science, tech, engineering, math, and logic), and Personal Development (spiritual growth, citizenship, arts, and therapy to name a few). In this episode, I’m going to focus on the best way to teach these three categories.
IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL HEAR:
- Which subjects are best taught as individual work
- Why 1-on-1 time is worthwhile
- How to do 1-on-1 time with multiple kids
