High frequency words

High frequency words

High frequency words are quite simply those words which

occur most frequently in written material, for example,

"and", "the", "as" and "it". They are often words that have

little meaning on their own, but they do contribute a great

deal to the meaning of a sentence.

You can do this at home by writing the word onto small

pieces of paper yourself or you can buy the cards pre made

and also use a “free” on line site and print them out.

I have posted three examples below.

October Break 2018

Since starting school in September 2018 my son had his first parents evening and is currently on his second level 1 book at school.

What I have found is that despite him being at school a lot of the leaning is still on the parent/guardian to be very involved in the three

“R's” at home.

Reading
Writing
arithmetic

This is why I quest myself and think that may be I should home school and save myslef the time and money it costs to take my son to school every day on public transport.

At the moment I get “free” travel for him until his fifth birthday. I will then have to start paying about £700.00 per term for bus fare and my own on top.

To be continued.

Home schooling my son with Flash Cards from at aged two.

I have always found flash cards to be a good way for learning at home and is something that even the schools do too. My son gets four words to learn and when he knows them he gets another four added to them.

Book(s) My Book(s) and Home Schooling information Back to School

Back to school, most people are thinking about nothing this week than "back to school" and already I have seen "Christmas" stock on the shelves in stores before "Halloween" Life today seams to be about our next shop our next buy. Even if it means buying things that we do not really need. One thing that I am trying to teach my children in to "Eat to live" and not to "Live to eat" and to only buy thing when they really need to and not just because they think they need them or want them. There is nothing wrong with a little indulgence but I do not want my children to become to commercialized.

Book(s) My Book(s) and Home Schooling information Summer Holidays August 2018

At this moment in time it is the beginning of the summer holidays

of 2018. The hot weather has finally broken YES!

WE are looking at arraning Blackberry Picking with the boys this

week and I can not wait!

I am also getting my oldest ready for school for September 2018.

WE are still going to home school him and see how school goes.

If we are finding that school dose not suit our way of life then we

will home school full time.

The first thing that we are to do with him his to create a “memory

box” that his will have to take into school. This is so that the my

son and the other children can learn “social interaction skills”,

“communicational skills” and hopefully be able to find people in

their class that they may have things in common with. This will

hopefully enable them to form friendships and also help the teach

to asses what KS Level my son is at.

We are still working on getting him to write his own name and the

alphabet, numbers are not really an issue at the moment so I will

see where he his by January 2019.

I would love to hear of any project that your children may be up to

over the summer holidays or have been given by their schools.

Book(s) My Book(s) and Home Schooling information Summer Holidays!

For my children the Summer holidays have arrived, but this dose not mean that their education will stop.

Over the ;last couple of weeks and the weeks to come my children will become "Green fingered". Both have been helping out in the garden learning how to care for the local wildlife.

We will soon be collecting seasonal berries and nuts when we go on our wildlife walks. We only pick what we know is safe. If you do not know what it is do not pick it!

Book(s) My Book(s) and Home Schooling information The Frog Song - Learn English with Songs for Children | LooLoo Kids

When teaching at home I have always liked You Tube. At time I have found it difficult and costly to buy teaching material so being able to find things online is a great help.

Book(s) My Book(s) and Home Schooling information May Bank Holiday

How that the May Bank Holiday is finally here may parents by now would have some idea of what they educational future will be for there little ones. For me my oldest son will be going to School in September and my youngest will attend nursery.

This dose not mean that we will stop home schooling our children and will continue to do so when we are not working. WE want our children to have an enriched life and to learn many things, epically things that they do not learn in school.

By the age of five we have tried to set some goals for our children that we hope that they can reach.

To write their own name
Count to 20
Know the Alphabet
Personal Hygiene (toilet trained)
Can dress themselves
Know they address and how to get home on public transport
Know one emergency contact number.

On Facebook we have joined some groups that I have found useful to help and support parents and also some local community groups in the areas we live and visit.

I hope that the updates that I have made to this blog are helpful, I will updating all my blogs and this one at lest the month.

Please feel free to follow me and to give feed back.

Happy Holidays.

This is something that I have been aiming to do for some time time and have just not got around to it.

So today I am aiming to list all of the books that I have down stairs.

I am also aiming to donate a few of the books that I no longer want so please keep an eye out for them and add them to my list(s) once to have read them.

You can do this a number of ways by following the links below.
