lgliser Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I feel lucky that my kids are all the same age so generally they will be doing the same thing. So we're doing some summer workbooks and a few little other things until we start homeschooling in the fall. I just wondered... what do you do when one or two gets done with what you're working on faster than another? It's easier for ME to keep us all at the same pace so I don't have to go over the directions of the next page 2 or 3 different times, but what should the faster workers do while waiting for the others to catch up? Just wondered if anyone had some good tips. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Yell Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Your triplets are almost 7? Do they readindependently? If they can read and the instructions in the workbooks are clear, they can handle it- maybe highlight 'actual instructions" like "underline the noun" or things like that embedded in a cahtty lesson/directions paragraph. Or, go over the instructions for ALL pages with ALL kids before they start anything, and let them work until they're finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 You inwardly groan and deal with it. :D I have my twins on different maths. Different kids, different paces, different needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weederberries Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I like the suggestion to go over all instructions first. I have two working at the same level. We also have a list of independent work they can pull out and work on anytime there is downtime like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
