You Know that you are a Homeschooler When...

your mother and best friend give you curriculum for your birthday presents - and you are thrilled! I just had to share what they gave me because I am always looking for a good recommendation.

The Core Knowledge Series - E. D. Hirsch, Jr.
Magic Tree House readers - Mary Pope Osborne
Leap Frog Alphabet Go Fish and Math Rummy

Note: My children are ages 5 1/2 and younger, so these things are for that age group.

I was happy to discover your Why We Home School blog today. I was unable to find an email link in your profile. I hope it's OK that I'm contacting you through a public comment. I've developed an educational program for Windows called SpellQuizzer that helps children learn their spelling words without the battle that parents often have getting them to sit down and write them out while the parents dictate to them. The parent enters the child's spelling words into the software making a sound recording of each word. Then the software helps the child practice his or her words. It really helped my children with their weekly spelling lists.

I would appreciate your reviewing SpellQuizzer in Why We Home School. You can learn more about the program at http://www.SpellQuizzer.com. There's a video demo you can watch at http://www.spellquizzer.com/SpellQuizzer-Demo.htm. I'd be happy to send you a complimentary license for the software. Please let me know if you are interested.

Thank you very much!

I have homeschooled for over 11 years and I only WISH my family would buy curriculum for gifts!! That's fantastic! They would need to just ask, and I could provide them a long wish list... ;)
