Family Message Journals,
Teaching
Writing
Through
Family
Involvement,
by
Julie
Wollman-Bonilla
Although
the
focus
of
this
book
is
teaching
writing
in
the
first
grade
classroom,
the
methods
are
very
effective
for
teaching
homeschoolers,
ages
6+ to
write
authentically.
Encourage
your
children
to
use
family
message
journals
on a
daily
basis
and
watch
your
children's
enthusiasm
for
written
communication
grow.

Growing Up Creative,
by Teresa Amabile,
Ph.D.
This
book
is a
myth-shattering
look
at
the
most
important
yet
misunderstood
aspect
of a
child's
development:
creativity.
Growing
Up
Creative
is
filled
with
dozens
of
concrete,
hands-on
exercises
that
can
help
parents
keep
creativity
alive.
The
key
is
motivation
that
originates
from
within
the
child;
an
intrinsic
combination
of
work
and
play.

nurturing
creativity

Families Writing,
by Peter Stillman
In
this
very
practical
book,
the
author
details
why
and
how
to
record
words
that
go
straight
to
the
heart;
the
simple,
vital
words
that
will
speak
to
those
you
care
most
about
and
to
their
descendants
many
years
from
now.
Encourage
family
writing
with
a
host
of
writing
experiences,
some
engrossing,
some
zany;
and
none
requiring
"talent."
I
found
many
of
the
writing
prompts
in
this
book
(first
edition)
to be
perfect
for
homeschooling
projects.
Performance Without Pressure;
A Guide for Parents, by Martin L. Seldman
This timely book shows parents how to promote
learning skills without subjecting their children to disabling stress. It
focuses on the twin goals of achievement and acceptance -helping a child to
master skills and tasks while at the same time acquiring a belief in self-worth
that is not tied into success or failure in an particular effort. The many
easy-to-learn techniques will help parents instill in their children healthy
attitudes about achievement and acceptance that will last a lifetime.
In Their Own Way,
Thomas
Armstrong,
Ph.D.
Armstrong
is a
former
learning
disabilities
specialist
who
became
disenchanted
with
the
concept
of
disability.
His
alternative
concept
of
learning
differences,
or
unique
learning
styles,
is
modeled
on
Howard
Gardner's
theory
of
multiple
intelligences:
linguistic,
logical-mathematical,
spatial,
musical,
bodily-kinesthetic,
interpersonal,
intrapersonal.
Believing
that
schools
have
failed
to
develop
children's
special
abilities,
he
suggests
different
ways
that
parents
can
help
children
to
learn
any
subject
according
to
their
own
style
and
to
develop
self-esteem.

our
weblog
about
this
book
and
the
subject
of
multiple
intelligences.
To
me,
this
is
what
homeschool
is
all
about:
understanding
and
teaching
to
our
children's
individual
learning
styles.
This
book
will
help
you
do
that.

to

times
with
Encyclopedia
Prehistorica,
an
engaging,
beautifully
crafted,
definitive

icy
pastel
hues, Sabuda's
dazzling
pop-ups
upstage
the
simple
text
in a
tale
that
highlights
the
wonders
of a
winter
landscape.
The
paper
constructions
are
indicative
of
the
artist's
usual
high
standard:
an
owl
soars
off
the
pages;
a
cave
lifts
and
opens
to
show
the
foxes
concealed
within;
and a
waterfall
cascades
into
a
rushing
river,
where
a
bear
darts
forward
to
catch
the
fish
that
dance
above
the
water's
surface.
The
final
3-D
scene
shows
all
of
the
creatures
posed
within
a
forest
of
evergreens
and
bare
trees,
while
a
snowman
standing
in
front
of a
lonely
house
reveals
himself
as
the
story's
narrator,
and
promises
to
return
for a
visit
next
year.

swish
swish,"

cry
Waah!
