3 Reasons You Need a Reading Curriculum
- It Saves You Time (What Homeschool Mom Doesn’t Need a Little Time!?)
- It Saves You Mental Energy (Got Enough on Your Plate?)
- It Eliminates Gaps in Your Child’s Reading Skills (If we’re going to raise strong, confident readers!)
Saves You Time
Get back your TIME with a simple ‘done-for-you’ daily phonics routine. No more spending Sunday evening prepping for Monday morning’s reading lesson. Have you heard of ‘Smonday’? I’ll bet you know what ‘Smonday’ feels like…when you can’t fully enjoy Sunday evening because you don’t actually have a plan for homeschooling Monday morning? [Ouch!]
No more piecing together your child’s reading lesson with random free alphabet worksheets. When I created TEACH YOUR K-2 CHILD TO READ: From CVC Words to Confident Reader, I had busy homeschool moms like you in mind. Click. Print. Teach.
Get ready to skip the guilt complex each evening and actually enjoy the evening routine with your kids! Do you need a reading curriculum? In the interested of saving time (and sanity) as a busy homeschool mom, I vote, “Yes!”
Saves Your Mental Energy
You’re a homeschool MOM, likely with multiple kiddos. You don’t need a 2nd full-time job making decisions about curriculum. Do you really want to create a phonics routine from scratch? Which letter should you start with? Do you have a word-chain spelling activity to go with that? What about a decodable story?
If you’re already tired, feeling less that 100% with more than one homeschooler in your kitchen, and your toddler is opening the pots and pans drawer again, you have enough on your plate. So, if you’ve been thinking, “Do I really need a reading curriculum?” My best advice? Yes.
Eliminate Gaps in Your Child’s Reading Skills
Want to make sure you’re building a strong reading foundation for your child? Picture each phonics skill like a brick. If one or more bricks are missing, the wall crumbles. The simplest way to ensure there aren’t any gaps in your child’s foundational reading skills? Yep, you need a reading curriculum.
Still Wondering if You Need a Reading Curriculum?
What’s your peace and mental clarity as a mom worth? Do you like feeling calm and set at the beginning or your homeschool day? What’s the alternative – feeling frazzled and scattered? I know which one would be worth a few bucks in the end.
I may have a different angle on my belief that you need a reading curriculum, which may be different from homeschoolers who choose an unstructured path. I’m okay with that, because I know the results a simple, organized curriculum makes in your mental peace and raising a strong, confident reader.
Ultimately, you need to choose the reading path that right for you and your family. For me, I need a reading curriculum!
Your in phonics,
