Discover the Rewards of Homeschooling Your Young Child
Young children are full of curiosity, imagination, and a sense of
wonder. They''re willing to try new things and possess a natural joy
of discovery. Yet in a traditional school, these natural behavior
traits are too often squelched. That''s why more and more parents
just like you are choosing to teach their children at home during
these critical years—the years that lay the foundation for
developing learning skills that last a lifetime. Inside, respected
homeschooling author Linda Dobson shows you how homeschooling can
work for you and your young child. You''ll discover how to:
?Tailor homeschooling to fit your family''s unique needs
?Know when your child is ready to learn to read
?Teach your child arithmetic without fear—even if you''re
math-challenged
?Give your child unlimited learning on a limited budget
?And much more!
