Everyone does. Let\u2019s address a few common worries.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>I\u2019m not organized enough to homeschool.<\/h2>\r\n \r\n<p>The good news is that you only need a tiny bit of organization to homeschool well!<\/p>\r\n<p>Currently available curricula, including <cite>All About Reading<\/cite> and <cite>All About Spelling<\/cite>, have detailed lessons ready for you. Choose your curriculum, stack it on the corner of your dining room table, and work through the stack each day.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Rolling-Cart-5-650-1.jpg\" alt=\"Teaching materials from All About Learning Press.\" width=\"540\" class=\"left\" \/>\r\n\r\n<p>For recordkeeping, simply put a date in the Teacher\u2019s Manual next to the lesson in the Table of Contents. If you prefer, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allaboutlearningpress.com\/lesson-samples\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">print the Table of Contents<\/a> for <cite>All About Reading<\/cite> and <cite>All About Spelling<\/cite>, so you don\u2019t have to mark in the Teacher\u2019s Manual. Keep in mind that in <cite>All About Spelling<\/cite> and <cite>All About Reading<\/cite>, a lesson will take more than one day to complete. Thus, you\u2019ll have multiple dates for each lesson marked. Since the Table of Contents lists the key concepts covered in each lesson, it becomes a record of what you did and when you did it. If you step away from lessons for other kinds of learning, such as review games or interest-led studies, just leave a note in your Table of Contents record.<\/p>\r\n<p>In addition, have your children date any work they complete, such as spelling dictation. I purchased a date stamp, set it to today\u2019s date each morning, and then taught my children to stamp their own work. Then, all the finished work was put into a bin. I had one for each child. If the laws where you reside require you to keep attendance, the dates on the Table of Contents and the completed work can serve as attendance records.<\/p>\r\n<p>The specifics of what you need will vary with the laws and requirements of where you live, but if you must put together an annual portfolio of work to submit, the above method will ensure you have something to work with. However, in many places, dating what you do after you do it is above and beyond the requirements.<\/p>\r\n<p><cite>All About Reading<\/cite> and <cite>All About Spelling<\/cite>, along with many other available homeschool curricula options, are designed to be open-and-go, with little to no day-to-day preparation. I used <cite>All About Reading<\/cite> and <cite>All About Spelling<\/cite> for years as a <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/how-to-organize-aar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Simple Samantha<\/a>, taking a quick moment to read the Before You Begin section as my child settled into a chair next to me. Sometimes, I cut the activity while my child read or spelled words with tiles, and sometimes, I had my child cut them while I corrected another child\u2019s math. I never needed more organization than that.<\/p>\r\n<p>Know that you will learn to organize as you go\u2013you don't have to know everything upfront. There are no \"perfect\" methods! Routines and organization have to be adapted as children grow anyway, so give yourself the freedom to learn and grow with your children!<\/p>\r\n \r\n \r\n\r\n<h2>I wasn\u2019t good at school myself, so I can\u2019t homeschool.<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Thankfully, you don\u2019t have to know everything to be a great homeschool teacher! Nowadays, experts have written wonderful materials in all subjects that allow you to teach like an expert. You will become a good student, learning so much as you teach your own children!<\/p>\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Robin03-caption-600x400-1.jpg\" alt=\"Children enjoying activities from All About Learning Press.\" width=\"540\" class=\"right\" \/>\r\n\r\n<p><cite>All About Reading<\/cite> and <cite>All About Spelling<\/cite> are designed to be <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/easy-to-teach\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">easy to teach<\/a>, with no previous knowledge, training, or experience!

Instruction focused on your children alone allows you the luxury of not wasting time reviewing what they have already mastered or dealing with questions they have not asked.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Clock.png\" alt=\"We recommend spending just 20 minutes per day on reading and 20 minutes per day on spelling.\" width=\"300\" class=\"right\" \/>\r\n\r\n<p>We recommend spending just <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/reading-how-much-time\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">20 minutes per day on reading<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/spelling-how-much-time\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">20 minutes per day on spelling<\/a>. Our programs are designed to be used at the \"just right\" pace for your child, allowing you to spread a lesson out over as many or few days as needed. Short, daily work promotes long-term retention and the best progress.<\/p>\r\n<p>Each family\u2019s situation is different, but homeschooling can work in various complex situations. I have known families with both parents working and single-parent families with the parent working full-time away from home who have homeschooled well. Mom would teach on the weekends and review each evening, and Auntie would ensure assignments were completed while Mom was at work. Finding the time to homeschool your children will not be easy in these situations, but creativity makes it possible. Flexibility goes a long way toward successful homeschooling.<\/p>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n<h2>My child will miss out on what the school kids are doing if we homeschool.<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>This doubt can stem from two concerns. One is your child not being \u201con grade level,\u201d and the other is all the extra things schools do, such as field trips, science fairs, and homecomings.<\/p>\r\n<p>What is considered \u201cgrade level\u201d in specific subjects can vary widely depending on which state, school district, or even school your child attends. One school district may use a reading program that requires kindergarten students to memorize over two hundred sight words, while another may use a program that teaches few sight words and expects students to decode unfamiliar words with ease. Children who excel in the first would be \u201cbehind\u201d if they transferred to the second at the end of kindergarten, and vice versa.<\/p>\r\n<p>Since \u201cgrade level\u201d varies so much, forgetting grade levels and instead focusing on whether your child is making progress toward mastery is far more reliable, especially if your child has a learning disability or is struggling. Foundational skills and concepts must be mastered for learning success, even if some consider them to be below grade level. Focus on your child\u2019s progress and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/the-big-pit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">avoid comparisons<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/AdobeStock_638530523-enhanced.jpg\" alt=\"Children playing soccer outside.\" width=\"540\" class=\"left\" \/>\r\n\r\n<p>As for the other concern about all the extra things that schools do, that is simply FOMO, or the fear of missing out. Consider this: homeschool students have extras and opportunities that students in traditional classrooms don\u2019t. For example, I knew a family whose father was sent to Washington, D.C. for work for a few months. If his children were in a classroom, they and the mother would have had to stay behind because too much school would have been missed. However, since this family homeschooled, they all could go to D.C. No school was missed, plus the children could visit national monuments, historic sites, and many other places that they would never have seen otherwise.<\/p>\r\n<p>Moreover, most communities have at least one, and often many, homeschool support groups for all those extras, such as field trips, talent shows, and even proms! If you search for the name of your community and then \u201chomeschool group,\u201d you\u2019ll find them. And if what you find is not a good fit (maybe you find a group for homeschool teens, but your oldest child is only seven), ask them for suggestions. Local veteran homeschool parents are your best resource for what is available close to home!<\/p>\r\n \r\n<p>I hope this shows you that many of the doubts and concerns parents have as they first consider homeschooling may be less of a problem than they first appear.
