adminA big concern with homeschooling is how to find the right program. Every child has a different learning style that is conducive to their learning. As each child is so unique, and different, it is important to find the right place for both you as a parent and your child as well. A curriculum that checks all the boxes will help set both of you up for success in your homeschooling journey.
We have many children with varying learning challenges that use our sites. We work hard to make sure our program is user-friendly for all abilities in learning. Below we will go into a few of the features that make our program work for a multitude of learning styles.
– The ability to schedule from any grade for each subject. A common question we get asked is if our program can be set for different grade levels for different subjects. The answer is yes! With our program, you as a parent will have the ability to assign work for your child from any grade level K-8 for each of our subjects. You can even go to a particular subject such as addition, and assign just that from another grade level, depending on your child’s needs. It is very customizable in this regard.
– The ability to work at your own pace. Our program does not require children to be present during specific times of the day. The program works entirely on your own schedule. Work that seems too much for one day can be left for the following day, or children can work ahead as often as they would like as well. Parents also have the ability to schedule breaks for children in case they need to step away and return at a later time.
– The ability to turn on our read-aloud feature and closed captions. Most of our lessons will read the questions and answers to the child. This is especially helpful for new readers or children who have dyslexia. The closed captions are available for each of our teaching videos.
– No timed work or assessments. Most of our lessons are in 3 parts: An instructional video, a practice lesson, and an assessment. Each of these segments is optional and can be done at the child’s own pace. Tests are not timed and are optional for children who do not do well with testing. They can always be returned to at a later date as well.
– Game-based platform: Your child learns through play, making it non-pressured learning. Children will be given questions and can receive “gold” the currency for our program.
– Option for repetition: Lessons that a child needs more work with, or just needs to take a break from, can be reassigned and repeated as often as you’d like. There is no limit to how long a child can work on a lesson or come back to try again.
We work hard to keep all learners in mind when developing our videos, lessons, and the platform itself. We are always looking for new suggestions and improvements for our sites. If you do not see something that you would like with our program, please suggest it, and we will take it into consideration as we continue improving our program!
