    There are numerous books and curriculums for homeschoolers. Listed below are just a few. To suggest your favorite homeschooling resources, email us at feedback@speech-express.com

    Getting Started


    The Well Trained Mind

    Jessie Wise, a former teacher and current home education consultant, wrote this amazing book along with her homeschooled daughter Susan Wise-Bauer, an instructor at the College of William & Mary. They provide VERY detailed information on a home-school curriculum for a type of classical education called the "trivium." Within each of the three stages of learning (grammar, logic, and rhetoric) are suggestions for lessons, how-to tips, and lists of resources. This book is truly a classic homeschooling book! -- Tricia Morin, Speechville Board Member

Use this book to supplement school learning, or as the center of a home-school language arts course.

    Reading

    Get Ready for the Code: A Primer for the Explode the Code Series - Book A (Explode the Code, Book A)
    Explode the Code


    This was a FUN simple workbook series that starts with the basics of learning letter sounds and goes all the way! There is lots of repetition for children that need that. I found myself skipping pages on some sounds and on other sounds, using every lesson page. Plus, the lessons were easily modified for those days that my child just didn't want to write but still was ready to learn reading. This book series is incredibly cheap! -- Tricia Morin, Speechville Board Member

    Phonics Pathways : Clear Steps to Easy Reading and Perfect Spelling
    Phonics Pathways:Clear Steps to Easy Reading and Perfect Spelling

    by Dolores Hiskes

    I have read and reviewed many phonics programs and this was by far the easiest program to follow for both me and my child. Each sound is learned in a simple lesson. There is a little worm that shows up in all the lessons that makes it a little more kid-friendly. --Tricia Morin, Speechville Board Member

    Learning to Read - phonemic resources, phonological awareness, rhyming, alliteration and lots more resources to help your child become a successful reader.
