My Reading Partner

After finishing preschool on summer last year we enrolled Isaiah in Kumon. My husband, Kris and I decided that we preferred Homeschooling and we thought that it’s best to partner with Kumon in terms of Isaiah’s reading skills. I’m glad that we did the right decision.

At the eighth month of the program Isaiah already knew how to read and was advanced in his level.

Today, my five-year old Isaiah is not only reading well but also has good comprehension skills.

Hands-On Learning

The kitchen is a big classroom for my homeschooler. And most of the time, it’s the same place where I can incorporate a lot of his lessons too .

For Math, I show him how to measure using cups, spoons and scale. I explain too the step-by-step process in cooking. For Listening Skills, he is taught how to follow instructions. For Safety and Protection, I guide him in using utensils. For Science, he is exposed to senses such as smell, taste and feel.

In all of those times that my son spent with me in the kitchen, the learning never stops. And that’s what I appreciate about Homeschooling. Learning is effortless and always hands-on, which kids enjoy.
