Resources for homeschool families

As a rule, we don't like worksheets. They are the busy work most children and adults hate about public school. There is no research that shows that they improve learning outcomes, as they happen after the fact. There are three exceptions, one is Math. Practice and repetition is important in Math work and learning and so we provide, when possible, worksheets or access to worksheets. Another time we provide worksheets is as a treat or distraction. As a rule we don't use them. We provide thought sheets that are meant to create and provoke thought and questioning in students. The last time we recommend a worksheet is for spelling. Again, the repetition is helpful in learning to spell.
