Why
you shouldn't use this curriculum
Most curriculum publishers will give you a long list of
reasons why their curriculum is the best. We, at Calvert
Education Services, prefer a different approach. We want to
be upfront about what it takes to use our curriculum and let
you decide whether it's the best approach for you and your
child. The truth is.....our curriculum is not for everyone.
Calvert's curriculum is a rigorous program that requires
time and effort by both the parent and the child. However,
many of our Calvert families tell us they can see the
benefits in just a few weeks. |

Four Helpful
Tips for Evaluating Online Courses
Many parents who are homeschooling turn to the Internet to find
online instructional resources. But determining whether or not
certain online courses are an effective academic solution can be
confusing, so here are four important factors to consider when
evaluating online courses. |
|
|
Two--Three
Years' Growth in as Little as 6-8 Weeks
Many children and adults
struggle with problems related to reading, spelling, and
language comprehension. Factor in diagnoses like dyslexia,
attention deficit disorder, auditory processing disorder,
hyperlexia, and autism, and it can be difficult to know
where to turn for the right educational assistance.
Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes provides effective,
results based assistance individuals need. |
| |
Individualized
Summer Learning for Math
The summer months are an
ideal time to help your child get ahead in math! Whether
you're at home or on the road this summer, ALEKS can be used
to provide each child with a personalized learning path
tailored to his or her individual needs. |
| |
Curriculum
To Inspire Your Child
Choose Pearson Homeschool
for curriculum that is not only affordable, but
comprehensive, fun and engaging! Pearson Homeschool offers a

| |
Could
Public School from Home Mean Less Stress, More Success?
If you, like many
homeschool parents, have ever wondered about the
effectiveness of the curriculum materials you choose or the
progress your child is making, you may want to consider
accredited online schooling, also known as virtual school.
As a mother of four who homeschooled my children for 5 years
before switching to a virtual school, I hope to provide you
with valuable insights into the online school experience. |
| |
A
Personalized Math Tutor for Each Child
Math tutors can be
expensive, especially when each of your children needs
individual instruction. With ALEKS, it's easy to provide
each child with a personalized math tutor to meet their
individual needs. Students who use ALEKS are given access to
highly-targeted instruction based on the topics they are
exactly ready to learn. With an open-response environment,
ALEKS does not rely on multiple choice questions and ensures
students have truly demonstrated mastery on the topics they
have completed. This unique approach to learning and
assessment makes ALEKS a dynamic curriculum solution for
math. |
| |
Summer
Break or Summer Study? Get Both!
As the school year ends,
parents often have conflicting feelings about education and
summer vacation. Studies show that kids who don't exercise
their minds during the summer tend to backslide. Give your
kids a fun AND productive summer with the help of
Time4Learning. |
