A Multi-Sensory Approach to Spelling!
 
Spelling City logo"The almost-effortless ability to create spelling lists is only part of what makes SpellingCity a great educational resource. A variety of outstanding, interactive Spelling and Vocabulary Games, as well as TeachMe and TestMe options, engage and entertain children while they learn. Students will see and hear each word on their list, hear each letter of a word as it is spelled out on the screen, and hear the word used in a sentence. Printable reports and official SpellingCity certificates offer tangible rewards the student can share and display."

Homeschooling Styles
 
Science"There are many widely varying approaches to homeschooling, which can make choosing an appropriate homeschooling style a daunting task, especially for newer homeshoolers. It is important for parents to choose a homeschooling style that fits their parenting and teaching preferences, as well as their children's learning style. To get an idea of what techniques will ultimately fit their real world needs, parents may find it helpful to research and even try "test runs" with various homeschooling resources or methods."

Product Spotlight

the new Global StudentThe New Global Student by Maya Frost will show you how to completely avoid the angst and expense of the traditional college admissions game. Discover the creative and strategic alternatives guaranteed to prime students for their most thrilling and fulfilling opportunities.
 
Watch this 3 min. video of Maya's interview or read the first chapter of The New Global Student for a great preview of the book!

A Message from Maya:
I love curious people--and so I'm delighted that you're interested in taking a peek at the first chapter of my book!   It's a basic intro (with a few teasers) that I've called, "Crazy...Or Creative?  Our Family's Story" and it explains how we--a typical suburban American family--decided to sell everything and move abroad despite the fact that we had four teenage daughters who had to navigate through high school and college.  We learned some valuable lessons that any U.S. student can use to completely avoid the angst and expense of the ooh-pick-me college admissions game and leapfrog right over their test-obsessed peers.

I invite you to read the whole book in order to discover how to get an exhilarating education that leads to the most thrilling and fulfilling opportunities in the 21st-century global economy.
