Stephanie Elms of Life Without School blogged recently about the fact that homeschooling parents are always hearing from other parents that they just don’t know HOW we do it.
She responds by sharing a multitude of reasons why, for her and many other relaxed homeschooling and unschooling parents, it’s really the other way around.

I was just reading about Spelling Power after hearing that they recommend formal instruction later on–8 and up. I love the sound of that because I believe in letting kids use inventive spelling to get their ideas out on paper when they’re young and not asking them to focus on correcting everything they write.
I haven’t used it personally but like everything I’ve read about it and will recommend it to clients from now on who are looking for spelling curriculum. Reviews can be found on the Spelling Power website and also on HomeschoolReviews.com.
