It’s that time of year again…Time to get creative and plan curriculum & activities to keep the kids learning through another year.  Often, literature and writing easily keep a child’s interest because reading and writing about imaginative stories and adventures can be fun.  But what if your kids aren’t so easily hooked?

Scouring the net will yield plenty of results to get you started.  I especially liked the stories about homeschoolers I found because my kids can really relate to these.   Literature about homeschoolers, or perhaps even written by homeschoolers is sure to appeal.  I also plan to incorporate literature based word lists into our studies this year.  No matter what you’ve got the kids reading, there’s a way to work a spelling or writing lesson into it, and sometimes killing two birds with one stone is such a timesaver!
