By the end of her kindergarten grade she re-read all seven volumes and has been reading and rereading them ever since. In the context of home education we can make the learning of reading a process of absorbing good literature, Christian values, and the texts of the Bible itself. I would like to conclude with some general guidelines and suggestions for home educators. Find out what are the specific laws and requirements in your state. Frequently school superintendents themselves are not well informed on the subject, but people further up in the education establishment will be able to give you accurate information.
Home schooling is legal in nearly every state, but requirements vary widely.
In New York it is necessary to notify the local school district in writing that you intend to home educate, to submit a curriculum, to make quarterly progress reports, and to test the child at certain grade levels to assure that normal progress is being made. They will help even with the small things. I recommend contacting a school or network or other organization that can provide advice and help in developing curricula. We use the services of the Clonlara Home Based Education Program. It thus becomes possible to order a single text or a single manipulative kit for mathematics.
