Start with logic. In the next chapter, we'll introduce you to the formal study of logic. In the chapters that follow, we'll guide you in applying the categories and structures of logic to the various subject areas. Home educated students typically spend an hour in self-directed work for every ten minutes of parental tutoring. Because of this new time economy, and because the student has now mastered the most basic elements of reading, writing, and math, you'll find that you're able to cover more material.
Check assignments on a weekly basis.
Because home education is flexible, you can structure your academic day to allow for a child to follow an interest. At the same time, though, insist that the student keep up in each subject area. Don't let math slide for history, or foreign language for math.
