Today we have the privilege of chatting with Janna*, a homeschool mom who uses <cite>All About Reading<\/cite> and <cite>All About Spelling<\/cite> with her two very active boys.<\/p><!--more-->\r\n\r\n<p>I first met Janna online via Facebook. Isn\u2019t it interesting how you can get to know someone\u2019s personality through online chats? From our interactions, I knew that Janna was a sincere, hardworking homeschool mom.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Janna's husband works long hours, and they are a one-car family, so Janna spends a lot of one-on-one time with her seven- and nine-year-old boys. It always makes me chuckle to see photos of the boys, often shirtless, running around their 950-square-foot apartment, burning off energy by engaging in very physical games.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>I asked Janna if she\u2019d share with us how she\u2019s able to use <cite>AAR<\/cite> and <cite>AAS<\/cite> with such active offspring.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Here\u2019s Janna:<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Marie is right: my boys are great big bundles of energy! Here\u2019s how I make <cite>All About Reading<\/cite> and <cite>All About Spelling<\/cite> work in our homeschool.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>I teach reading and spelling in my bedroom on the bed. I set the white board on the bed and my sons either stretch out on the bed or sit on an exercise ball next to the bed. Why do I teach in my bedroom? So I can close the door and shut out distractions. While I teach one son, the other one works on school work in a different subject in another part of our apartment.\r\n<br \/><br \/>\r\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"center\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/real-moms-jenny-2-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"Real Moms, Real Kids: Teaching Active Kids with Jenny Herman\" width=\"450\" \/>\r\n<br \/><\/li>\r\n \t<li>I store my materials in the bottom drawer of my dresser. We don\u2019t have a lot of storage in our apartment. I used to keep our school materials in a desk drawer in the living room, but usually ended up leaving the materials out on the trunk in my room. That makes my room look messier. Then it dawned on me\u2014<span class=\"italic\">just put it in your dresser since you always teach in here anyway!<\/span> Our magnetic white board gets stowed on its side between the dresser and the wall.\r\n<br \/><br \/>\r\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"center\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/real-moms-jenny-1-600x450.jpg\" alt=\"Real Moms, Real Kids: Teaching Active Kids with Jenny Herman\" width=\"600\" \/>\r\n<br \/><\/li>\r\n \t<li>Sometimes I allow snacks and stuffed animals during lessons. It all depends on their level of self-control on a particular day. It\u2019s hard to concentrate on learning something new when you\u2019re hungry. And if the stuffed animal wants to read, hey, it\u2019s extra practice!\r\n<br \/>\r\n\t<iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display:block;margin:0 auto;\" class=\"center\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-HzNpy0GzRs?rel=0\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/li>\r\n<br \/>\r\n \t<li>Even though I\u2019m a mom of a special needs child (my oldest has Asperger\u2019s), at this point my boys are great readers and pretty good spellers. They don\u2019t have a lot of struggles understanding the information. Their biggest struggles are focus and cooperation. <span class=\"italic\">My <\/span>biggest struggle is patience. When he's building words, my Aspie loves to make the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/using-letter-tiles\/\" title=\"Using Letter Tiles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">letter tiles<\/a> crash into each other with <span class=\"italic\">loud <\/span>sound effects. It can take for-e-ver and it drives me crazy. But if I stop and think about it, does it really matter? He\u2019s practicing his skills and he\u2019s still learning. I sometimes employ a tip from Merry, AALP\u2019s customer service superstar. She limited her son\u2019s \u201ctile crashing\u201d to a certain number of words. Then both parties win.<\/li>\r\n<br \/>\r\n\t<iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display:block;margin:0 auto;\" class=\"center\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FmHDvVqLzrs?rel=0\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe>\r\n<br \/>\r\n \t<li>My Aspie and I have learned to compromise. When we started <cite>All About Spelling<\/cite> Level 3, I reminded him of the sequence of spelling a word with tiles, starting with <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/segmenting-spelling\/\">segmenting<\/a> and dragging one tile at a time. He got very upset and I couldn\u2019t understand why. He explained, \u201cIt makes me feel like a little boy.\u201d So I told him we could skip that step for now, but if the words get harder for him, we may go back to that later.<\/li>\r\n    \r\n \t<li>Another trick I employ is one that an AALP mom shared with me. She combines the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/spelling-how-much-time\/\">15 minutes for spelling<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/reading-how-much-time\/\">20 minutes for reading<\/a> into a single 35-minute session. Some days more may be spent on spelling and less on reading, other times vice versa. As a result, if one subject has a harder concept one day and needs a bit more time, the other can be light. I\u2019ve started to use a timer to keep me from frustrating the boys with the temptation to \u201cjust finish this little bit more.\u201d<\/li>\r\n    \r\n \t<li>Depending on the day\u2019s energy level, sometimes I have my sons do jumping jack breaks between reading and spelling.<\/li>\r\n    \r\n \t<li>Sometimes I try to come up with different ways to <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/review-spelling-word-cards\/\">review spelling words<\/a>. I still need to get better at this. Writing is hard for both my boys, but they\u2019re good at spelling. I have let them draw their words in a tray of colored sugar. They\u2019ve also typed their words on the computer or written them on a white board. I just bought some colored sand to try out <a title=\"Pinterest Idea\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/237353842837833381\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">an idea from the AALP Pinterest boards<\/a>. I hope to find even more ways for them to practice besides on paper. Anything to keep these busy boys happy!<\/li>\r\n    \r\n \t<li>With my youngest, we had to take a few months off from reading in the beginning. Since he'd already been reading three-letter words, I thought he was ready to learn how to read. But when we started with Level 1, he was having lots of <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/letter-reversals\/\">letter reversals and confusion<\/a>. After much frustration for both of us, I decided perhaps he wasn\u2019t as ready as I thought. We took two or three months off, and when we started up again he had much less trouble.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n<p>I hope some of these ideas will help you as you personalize <cite>All About Reading<\/cite> and <cite>All About Spelling<\/cite> in your own homeschool!<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"box\">\r\n\r\n\t<h2>Here's What I Love about Janna's Story<\/h2> \r\n\t<p>These points about homeschooling a child with an abundance of energy really stood out to me:\r\n\r\n\t<ul>\r\n \t\t<li>Janna doesn\u2019t let lack of space or transportation deter her from doing a great job homeschooling her boys.<\/li>\r\n \t\t<li>She recognizes her boys\u2019 need to burn off energy.<\/li>\r\n \t\t<li>She has found a place in her bedroom to <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/how-to-organize-aar\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">organize the curriculum<\/a> and teach her kids, and she is able to shut her bedroom door to block out distractions.<\/li>\r\n\t<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\t<h2>Products Janna Uses with Josh and Noah:<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\t<ul>\r\n\t \t<li><a title=\"All About Reading\" href=\"https:\/\/www.allaboutlearningpress.com\/all-about-reading\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><cite>All About Reading<\/cite><\/a> Levels 3 and 4<\/li>\r\n\t\t<li><a title=\"All About Spelling\" href=\"https:\/\/www.allaboutlearningpress.com\/all-about-spelling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><cite>All About Spelling<\/cite><\/a> Levels 2 and 3<\/li>\r\n\t \t<li>An extra dose of patience<\/li>\r\n\t<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\t<p>Did you enjoy Janna's story?
