This workshop will encourage discouraged parents, overwhelmed beginners, and parents trying to discern between curriculums. A focus on mastering the basics and making reading and math the foundation of any great homeschool environment will help parents not get lost in the mire of myriad homeschooling options. The teachers of Campbell Academy Online have created a curriculum that makes homeschooling the younger grades easy and fun, setting a positive tone for your homeschool from the start. This workshop will help parents learn tricks for teaching basic reading, math, and grammar.

Did your child have another terrible, horrible, no good, very bad (homeschooling) day? If you have a child who struggles with school work, struggles to read, and/or struggles to concentrate, then you probably have had more than a few of these challenging days. Whether your child is dyslexic, has attention issues, or is just a late bloomer, homeschooling moms often feel like they are either not doing enough or not doing things the right way. Dyslexia is not a deficiency; it is a gift (even though it may not feel like it at times). Kids with dyslexia learn differently, so they need to be taught differently. In this session, Carrie shares the struggles, challenges, triumphs, and miracles she experienced while homeschooling her dyslexic child as well as teaching strategies that can be used with your own struggling student.
