To ask for your best home educating resources?

[Thepersonineedisnannymcphee]

Anything really that you use to home educate? Or that your school educated child loved at home?

Any books that you recommend?
Gadgets that helped with a particular topic?
Art supplies that always get used?

I'm really wanting to develop what resources I have at home and would love your ideas as I'm a little stuck for inspiration!

Posting for traffic, thank you in advance!

Twinkl and amazon are your friends!

Yes, try "sending your child to school". If you're stuck for inspiration, you're not the right person to be educating them.

Never said I was stuck for inspiration on what to teach. Only asked for suggestions on materials that helped teach certain topics and left it open for people to suggest which ones.

Thank you for your completely pointless input.

We use reading eggs /eggs press and math seeds and mathsfactor

I thought there was a Home Ed section.

Twinkl is so dull. Is education sponsored by Twinkl? When I home educated to cover a between schools period I didn't use anything off of Twinkl. Join some home ed Facebook groups for some better resource inspiration.

Water colour pallet and sketching pencils for art.

Maths: Dienes blocks and numicon. Numberline to display. A child's learn to tell the time clock. 3d shape set (I like the ones that unfold into shape nets).

We used reading eggspress but I found she was getting a bit bored. We still use maths factor, she also loves carol vorderman's 'help your kids with' maths, English and science books.

What age op?

Twinkl is a bit dull. I am a teacher and love the tes (Times Ed) site (you have to pay now)
BBC
Mathzone

Oh times tables rock stars is great

She's 9.

I've not heard of Times Ed, I will take a look, thank you!

Goodness, the OP said that her kids go to school. You are right OP about a pointless post. Well done for not rising to it.

My kids use IXL every day, but my daughter struggles at school so it's just to keep the fundamentals done.

I hope taught my eldest son for a while as there wasn't a place for him in our local school. After struggling for a few months, I read a book and I realised that the key to home learning was something much more simple, -- fun and shared experience. Highly recommend it. I'd send you my copy, but we're moving and it's in a box somewhere! I need to find a link.......argh can't find it. I'll be back.

I home educate one child. My other two are school taught.

Concise Thank you.

Any other ideas out there?

Might be worth redoing the RE placement test.... if it's too easy/hard it would be boring. They don't always progress the same rate as the lessons. My ds redid a large chunk of it twice, then later zoomed way forward.
