tmstranger Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 This is my first year as a homeschooler. I am sure you can imagine that I have second guessed EVERYTHING this first year! Well, now that I'm planning for next year, I've been reading on the boards again and posting lots of questions. Thank you for taking the time to help me! But more importantly, thank you for helping me to realize that I am doing ok!! I was stressing over a "reading" curriculum for my kids and deciding between which writing program to use...do I need vocabulary? Do I need literary analysis? etc. etc.!!!! Then, as I looked over the WWE2 that we currently use and looking at samples of WWS1 for my older child for next year, I realized that I am already doing reading comprehension! All of those questions to get the kids to narrate...in SOTW and the science narrations...it's ALL reading comprehension!! I don't need a separate "curriculum" at this age. We talk about the books they read and we get the "comprehension" there and through their narrations across the subjects. This was such a big weight off of my shoulders! I'm already doing enough...I don't need to add more!! And my kids are doing just fine! :) I don't know why it took this long for the lightbulb to go off in my head, but thank you all for helping me get there! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
