In order to decide which style of homeschooling will work best for your family, you’ll need to learn the various types of homeschooling. Here are 6 of the most popular methods, although they do cross over in many families.<\/p>\n

Homeschooling Eclectic<\/h4>\n

This approach teaches a subject by enhancing the everyday activities and emotions of your child.<\/em><\/p>\n

Classical Homeschooling<\/h4>\n

The classical method of homeschooling dates back to the middle ages. According to this philosophy, young children should begin by learning reading, writing, and arithmetic. Upon mastering that, they move on to grammar. Collections and compositions follow. In the dialect stage, the student begins studying reading, writing, and arithmetic seriously. In classical learning, a child learns in stages instead of using grade-appropriate materials in public schools.<\/p>\n

Charlotte-Mason Method<\/h4>\n

In Charlotte-Mason’s style, nature, literature, and experiences from real life enrich a child’s education. Alongside your state’s laws requiring that kids be taught a regular curriculum, the student can gain an appreciation for learning through nature lessons, poetry, and more. The idea is that children are more likely to absorb information when it’s enlightening to them than when they’re given facts to memorize.<\/p>\n

Structured Homeschooling Approach<\/h4>\n

Homeschooling using a structured approach is similar to homeschooling in public schools.<\/em> Students are taught at grade level according to their age and academic level.<\/p>\n

Unit Study Approach<\/h4>\n

Families with several children often opt for this technique. Using the unit study approach to homeschool allows children to gain a comprehensive knowledge of a subject rather than simply reading chapters in a textbook.<\/em> Learning a subject involves reading, science, math, and other methods. Studies have shown that children retain almost 50% more information than they did with traditional school-based study techniques.<\/p>\n

Unschooling<\/h4>\n

As a more relaxed way of learning, the child takes the top action. A child’s education is largely determined by them. Rather than following a rigid curriculum, you’ll teach them based on their interests and goals.<\/p>\n

The best way to homeschool your child is to analyze his or her learning abilities alongside your comfort level with each type of instruction. This can vary from year to year and child to child. Nevertheless, the parent does want the child to succeed as an adult; that is the ultimate goal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
