[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 589471, member: 15799"] I have a friend that homeschools her 2 boys (both on the spectrum). They are a religious family and they purchase an entire Christian-based curriculum for each of their kids each year. I homeschooled difficult child 1 until we found the online school we're using now. All I did was go to our state's dept of ed and looked at the "standards" for each subject for his grade level. Then I found online worksheets, video links, etc to work towards those standards. Going to the library and finding a book to read then reading it together at home (took turns reading paragraphs or pages) was easier to do. As an aside, I would ask questions like "I wonder why the character did that" or "what would you have done in that situation?" to make him think. For math, we found math game websites. For science and history, there are tons of websites like Discovery that have videos on most every topic. We even watched movies from the library about various wars (Pearl Harbor, Saving Private Ryan, etc) and science issues (Apollo 13, etc). You can make it whatever you want. A trip to the grocery store (plan, budget, shop while adding up the bill as you go, figuring change, etc) and cooking (measuring cups for fractions) count as math. Actually, if it didn't require so much planning on my part, I would much rather have continued on that path. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
