Include some educational videos, maybe music, etc. peppered in too. Learning time doesn't always have to be books and reading. Pinterest has a ton of unit study topics if you need inspiration. It's a good approach for children of different ages, too. My son is almost 4 and he can be included on most things we learn.

I have two kids (ages 4.5 and 2.5) who both love to learn, especially love to read. Our 4 year old has been reading since she was three and is now quite amazing at it. She and our little guy love to do, "Learning" time every day where we work together to learn new things (primarily focused around language arts right now, a tiny bit of math, and some fun science-y stuff mixed in). But just recently, I've noticed our 4.5 year old getting kind of unwilling to learn. I try not to force her because she's technically not in "homeschool" yet, but that's pretty much what we're doing if we are gonna call a spade a spade :) So I'm a little worried if I don't call out this attitude thing now and sort of assert myself not just as the mommy but also as the one God's entrusted with their learning, this attitude could lead to some damaging things in the years to come. Any ideas how to help a young one overcome not wanting to do "learning time", no matter what age?? And maybe this is totally MY problem! Any ideas how to help a mom in this department, no matter what (gulp) age?Krista Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14352928130757919226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628767515693863152.post-82040455489452325112014-02-09T04:25:21.104-08:002014-02-09T04:25:21.104-08:00Thanks so much for this post!

They are phonics based (if you buy the curriculum, they line up with the weekly lessons) and entertaining for kids and grown ups. Some of the same characters reappear later (my son loves Super Pork and his various adventures) which is fun. I was given a different LA curriculum for 2nd grade which we are going to try next year as it is free (I would switch back to McRuffy if this one doesn't work). But I recently bought the 2nd grade McRuffy reader set with another order I was placing so we would have them I think I'll have him read one a week over the summer to keep up his skills, and I don't think he'll object.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628767515693863152.post-90674823403434660132014-02-07T12:48:11.807-08:002014-02-07T12:48:11.807-08:00We oh so many, and have loved BOB books and all th...We oh so many, and have loved BOB books and all the HOP books, but my personal favorites are the 1998 Scholastic At-Home Phonics Reading Program readers.

I like the bob books because it uses very few sight words and most of the ones they use I just explain the rule that goes with it and then we move on.

He tends to just memorize the BOB Books, which is good for his confidence, but makes it difficult for me to "gauge" where he's at.
