Visual materials for home education are a must. If you don’t have a big chalkboard, invest in an easel and a big flip chart type notepad. Always sitting next to child or children isn’t always best way to illustrate instruction. For one, you hand will generally always be in way so student can’t see your visualizations as you speak. When this happens your verbal instruction doesn’t match what child is able to see. Kind of like watching one of those foreign films where English is dubbed in! The conversation has already happened before you see their lips move!Of course, there are many aspects and pieces to a successful homeschool education. The home school classroom is but one of them. With a little planning and some attention to detail, as a homeschooler, you will create an environment that is conducive to child's learning. You will be inspiring best in a child.
