Sixth grade Homeschool Curriculum

Sixth grade homeschool curriculum

Have you ever wondered how other families choose their homeschool curriculum? I’ve talked to a number of other homeschooling families and they each seem to have some formula for why they choose one curriculum over another. Sometimes before you can even consider curriculum, you have to look at why you are homeschooling. If you are homeschooling for religious reasons, then that will obviously have bearing on what type of curriculum you choose. There are many religious based homeschool programs, and even some that are specific to a particular religion. If you have other reasons for homeschooling, then obviously those reasons will weigh heavily when making homeschool curriculum choices. If you child has a particular learning issue, then you will choose a curriculum that leans that direction. When I chose my homeschool curriculum, I was coming at homeschooling from the point of view that it was not something I had never wanted to do. I therefore had not given any thought to what a curriculum needed to look like. As I researched, I discovered that what I needed was a curriculum that made the lesson plans for me, and helped me keep records, because I am not a very organized person. My child needed it to move fast, not repeat too much, be colorful, minimize the writing. She is a sponge, and needed information to flow at her at her pace…that is almost always fast. That is why when I chose, I choose an interactive, online homeschool curriculum. Text books may be more your child’s style, or your style, but the most important thing when choosing your homeschool curriculum is that it fits not only your child’s learning style, but your teaching style as well.
