\"Homeschool<\/a><\/p>\n

This homeschool benefit is especially important to me. When I first learned about homeschooling, I happened to be in my very last semester at Ball State University studying elementary education. I read four books by Dr. Raymond Moore as I was
\ngraduating and finishing up my degree. (I was given these books by someone
\nin my church.)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I can remember making notes in my margin as I was taking class notes that
\nsaid “If this is true, why don’t we do it in school?” “This is why
\nhomeschooling might be better.” “Wow, you can actually do this in
\nhomeschooling!”<\/p>\n

I was amazed! We were learning about learning in children.\u00a0 As I was
\nstudying how children learn, the differences between boys and girls, late
\nbloomers versus early bloomers, and even Piaget’s Theory of when levels of
\ndevelopment take place, I was realizing, as a 21-year-old mother of one
\ntoddler, that with homeschooling, you could you all all of the things that I
\nwas learning in college –but that couldn’t be done in the classroom.<\/p>\n

Fast forward several years later when our second child was starting school.
\nKayla was a curious, intelligent, creative seven-year-old dyslexic,
\ndysgraphic student. By this time, I had learned enough from Dr. Raymond
\nMoore to know that I needed to wait for her to be ready in order for her to
\nlearn to read.<\/p>\n

This advice was amazing! She learned to read when she was nine, and she
\nlearned to write\/spell\u00a0 (though not very strong and spelling) at age twelve.
\nIf she had been in school, she would’ve been labeled and put in a slow or
\nlearning disabled class.<\/p>\n

Fast forward again about ten to fifteen years later, and that same late
\nbloomer, dyslexic, dysgraphic student received a perfect score on the ACT
\nverbal portion two times, went on to write language arts curriculum for
\nelementary students, wrote a biographical compilation for young readers,
\nwrote two books for missionaries on health and nutrition that are used
\naround the world today, and is working on her fifth degree.<\/p>\n

You would be hard-pressed to find someone who thinks the whole school
\nbenefit number two is more of a benefit than our family. Of course, it
\nwasn’t only Kayla who benefited from learning at her own pace. We were able
\nto wait for readiness in all areas for all of our children \u2013 potty training,
\nmoving to a big bed, learning to read, learning to write, learning to drive.
\nThese have all been areas in which our children were able to learn at their
\nown pace rather than being pushed when they were not ready. Of course, there
\nare many other areas too. In a nutshell, homeschooling can be tailor-made to
\neach child….so many benefits, too many to count! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I get very sad when I see homeschoolers who do not take advantage of this
\nbenefit. They are moved by peer pressure or grandparent pressure or Sunday
\nschool pressure to turn around and pressure their children to learn when
\nthey’re not ready. Take advantage of this homeschool benefit! And let your
\nchildren learn at their own pace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
