Homeschooled Teen Writes Best Seller!
For
the first time ever, Homeschool.com will be doing a LIVE interview and we want
you to join us. This Wednesday, May 19th, we will be interviewing Christopher
Paolini, author of Eragon. Although he is only in his early twenties, his
book is #1 on the New York Times bestseller list and he has made guest
appearances on both the David Letterman and Jay Leno shows. Christopher
attributes his success to the fact that he was homeschooled. You can read
more about Christopher in last month’s newsletter at Homeschool.com.
How to Be a Spelling Bee Champion
Spelling
has always been a complicated matter for anyone trying to learn the
English language. While our everyday vocabulary continues to grow,
English word origins include almost every language in existence -- and
some are no longer regularly spoken! Many identical sounds are spelled
differently in different words and 84 of the 90 basic English spelling
patterns have exceptions. It's no wonder that spelling can be a
competitive event!
