For teaching and learning at home, children need some variety. Found that if they read the same thing as in school, they get bored quickly. One way to keep them interested is to have a variety of books, which we usually get from charity shops, or ask the local schools for copies they are willing to give away. Also frequent various book swapping meets. Helps with reading, especially, since they feel they are reading "non-school", therefore fun books.

Have you tried including sign language into their home ed? There are loads of sites with online signing charts etc to print and videos to watch. Signing helps your child in loads of ways too!

As a teacher, I have to defend school books!!!!! I prefer 'real' books as opposed to reading schemes and I try to ensure that the children in my class choose books that appeal to them, not just because it is within their reading level. So therefore, I think that school books are just as much fun as 'non-school books'!!! However, I do agree that getting a variety of different books from the library or charity shops is a fab idea to motivate and encourage children's love of reading.

www.enchantedlearning.com is my all-time favourite website for teaching resources (I'm a teacher but it could be great for homeschoolers too). It's an American site so the spelling is US English but there are absolutely loads of craft activities and worksheets for younger children and the geography worksheets are fantastic !
