Today, we set forth on a game-changing expedition that will spark curiosity, embolden families who educate at home, and foster a profound harmony with the world around us. Within this blog post, we reveal the incredible potential of herbal education, helping families seize control of their own fate and cultivate a new wave of budding herbal experts.
The Power of Homeschooling: Carving Our Unique Paths

Before we dive into the captivating universe of herbal studies, let's embrace the empowering idea of homeschooling. In a world where there's often pressure to conform, homeschooling emerges as a guiding light for celebrating individuality and tailoring education to personal preferences. It hands the reins to parents, allowing them to navigate a path that celebrates the distinct strengths and passions of each child, creating an environment where curiosity takes the lead and learning knows no bounds.

Sometimes, traditional educational institutions might put a damper on the exploration of offbeat subjects like herbal studies. This is where the magic of homeschooling comes in – offering the liberty to venture into unexplored territories and uncover the marvels that lie deep within the heart of nature. Take advantage of this chance to nurture a thirst for knowledge and an unwavering sense of adventure!

The Holistic Approach: Embracing the Wisdom of Nature

At the heart of our mystical journey lies the essence of holistic education. Far beyond textbooks and examinations, holistic learning integrates mind, body, and spirit, harmonizing with the natural rhythms of life. In this paradigm, the knowledge of herbs plays a pivotal role, and it is here that we witness the bloom of herbal education.

Holistic herbal education is not merely a lesson on the green wonders that surround us; it is an invitation to align with nature's wisdom, to rekindle a long-lost relationship with the Earth, and to find harmony within ourselves. Teaching our children about herbs offers a profound way to introduce them to the interconnectedness of all life, nurturing a sense of responsibility and reverence for the planet that sustains us.

The Enchantment of Herbal Education: Delving into Nature's Apothecary

Imagine a world where your children can identify the vibrant petals of a chamomile flower, discern the soothing scent of lavender, or harness the healing powers of aloe vera. Herbal education transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary, unlocking a magical apothecary that lies within the embrace of Mother Nature.

By teaching kids about herbs, we ignite their innate curiosity and equip them with an arsenal of knowledge to nurture their well-being naturally. The garden becomes their classroom, and the plants, their mentors. They learn to recognize the healing properties of herbs, understand how to prepare potent remedies, and appreciate the art of harnessing nature's gifts to promote health and vitality.

Empowering Kids: A Journey of Self-Discovery and Healing

As parents and educators, our primary mission is to empower our children to become architects of their destinies. With herbal education as our ally, we gift them the ability to care for themselves and others, a profound act of self-empowerment.

In teaching kids about herbs, we witness the blossoming of self-confidence and resilience. They become aware that they have the power to heal, the capacity to solve problems, and the wisdom to take control of their own well-being. As they experience the magical transformation of herbs, they also embrace the enchanting journey of self-discovery.




Unleashing the Alchemist Within: Blending Science with Magic

Herbal education is a harmonious blend of science and magic, where the alchemist within each child awakens. As they learn about the chemical compounds that lend herbs their healing prowess, they also embrace the intangible magic that cannot be confined by equations.

In the garden, they experiment with combinations of herbs, witnessing the sparks of alchemy as they create herbal concoctions. They brew potions of relaxation, courage, and clarity, all the while instilling a profound sense of responsibility for the gifts bestowed upon them by the Earth.

The Knowledge to Mend: Healing the Earth and Beyond

As our young herbalists grow in wisdom and understanding, they recognize the potent role they play in healing not only themselves but also the planet. They grasp that the connection to nature extends beyond the garden fence, and that the choices they make impact the delicate balance of the Earth.

Armed with the knowledge of herbs and their ecological significance, our budding herbalists turn into eco-conscious warriors, guardians of the planet. They advocate for sustainable practices, protect endangered plant species, and embark on a quest to heal the Earth one seedling at a time.
Take Action: Embrace the Magic of Herbal Education Today!

We stand at the crossroads of transformation, where the magic of herbal education beckons us to venture forth. Let us take action today and embrace the enchantment of homeschooling with holistic botanical studies. Unleash the power of herbs to nurture the minds, bodies, and souls of our children, empowering them to shape their destinies and become stewards of the Earth.

Incorporate herbal studies into your homeschooling curriculum, create a herb garden together, and explore the magic that lies within the embrace of nature. Nurture curiosity, inspire a reverence for life, and witness the extraordinary alchemy that unfolds when knowledge and magic intertwine.

Together, we hold the key to a future where children grow into holistic beings, grounded in wisdom, and shining with the light of self-awareness. Let us embark on this transformative journey, knowing that the destiny of our children and the Earth lies in our hands. The time is now, and the magic awaits.

Don’t be afraid of the unknown, for it is the canvas on which we paint the tapestry of our lives. Embrace the enchantment, ignite the spark of curiosity, and embark on a journey that will change the course of history.

In a world of limitless possibility, homeschooling offers the magical opportunity to nurture young entrepreneurial minds. Beyond conventional learning, we have the power to shape our children's destinies and instill an entrepreneurial spirit within them. By blending spirituality and success, we can create a homeschooling experience that empowers our kids to recognize their inner wizardry and craft a future of their dreams. Homeschooling kids for entrepreneurship in this magical world is about teaching life skills while embracing your child’s spiritual gifts. 

Embracing the Magic of Entrepreneurial Homeschooling

"Magic is believing in yourself." - Goethe

Homeschooling, by nature, gives us the extraordinary opportunity to impart traditional knowledge of the power our children hold. But it also allows us to ignite the flames of entrepreneurial spirit within our children. Without the barriers that exist within organized learning, we can equip our young apprentices with the essential tools and skills required to not only navigate, but flourish in this ever-evolving world.

Unleashing Entrepreneurial Minds: Crafting Dreams into Reality

Imagination is the wand that sparks innovation into the world of entrepreneurship. Encourage your children to dream big and embrace their wildest ideas. Together, you can craft these visions into tangible plans. Teach your kids the courage to take risks and venture into the unknown. 

Like brave explorers, young entrepreneurs need to be daring, turning their ideas into reality. In the realm of entrepreneurship, failure is but a stepping stone to success. Encourage your kids to see setbacks as opportunities to learn, grow, and refine their magical craft.

The Magical Curriculum: Spells for Entrepreneurial Success

Encourage creative pursuits in arts, crafts, and storytelling. These magical potions will nurture your children's creativity, allowing them to think outside the box when approaching business ventures. Teach the art of salesmanship to your young wizards. Whether it's selling lemonade or handmade crafts, the art of persuasion and negotiation is a magical skill that transcends time.

Introduce your children to the world of finance. Teach them the magic of budgeting, saving, and investing, empowering them to take charge of their financial resources. Help your kids master the potion of communication. Effective communication is the key to building meaningful connections and partnerships in the entrepreneurial realm.

Crafting a Magical Homeschooling Environment

"Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." - William Butler Yeats

As homeschooling parents, we have the power to create a magical environment that fosters the entrepreneurial spirit in our children. Discover your child's passions and align their education with these magical sparks. When kids are passionate about what they learn, their journey towards entrepreneurial success becomes an exciting adventure.

In the magical realm of entrepreneurship, curiosity is the key to unlocking new possibilities. Encourage your kids to ask questions, explore different paths, and be lifelong learners.Help your children view failure not as a defeat, but as an essential ingredient in their magical journey towards success. Share stories of famous entrepreneurs who faced failures but rose to greatness through perseverance.

Mindfulness as a Superpower

Integrate mindfulness practices into your homeschooling routine. Meditation and mindfulness exercises enhance focus and emotional intelligence, enabling young wizards to navigate challenges with clarity and composure.

"The greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change their future by merely changing their attitude." - Oprah Winfrey

As parents, we can instill an entrepreneurial mindset in our children, empowering them to claim their own destinies. Teach your kids that their abilities and intelligence can grow with effort and perseverance. The belief in their own potential will empower them to face challenges with confidence. Exemplify a positive and optimistic outlook in your own life. Children absorb the energy of those around them, and a positive attitude is contagious. 

Encourage your kids to set specific goals and visualize their success. This practice helps them stay focused and empowers them to work towards their dreams with determination. Gratitude is a powerful potion that attracts abundance. Encourage your children to practice gratitude daily, nurturing a sense of appreciation for the magical world around them.

In Conclusion: Unleashing the Wizards of Tomorrow

Homeschooling provides a magical canvas to mold young minds into visionary entrepreneurs. As we integrate spirituality and success into the curriculum, we empower our kids to take charge of their destinies fearlessly. Embrace the wonders of imagination, nurture their entrepreneurial passions, and infuse the journey with mindfulness. Together, we will summon a generation of young wizards ready to conquer the world with their wisdom, confidence, and entrepreneurial prowess.

As parents and educators, it is our responsibility to nurture a generation of mindful individuals who appreciate the wonders of the natural world. Introducing herbal education into homeschooling is a powerful way to instill holistic values, fostering a deeper connection with the environment and the magical realm of herbs.

Embracing the Magic of Holistic Homeschooling

The traditional education system often overlooks the importance of holistic learning. Homeschooling, on the other hand, offers the freedom to tailor education to suit individual needs and values. In this magical journey of homeschooling, integrating herbal education can be a game-changer, creating a profound impact on children's lives and their understanding of the world around them.

Why Herbal Education Matters

1. Rediscovering Ancient Wisdom: Long before textbooks and online resources, our ancestors turned to nature for wisdom. Herbal education revives this ancient knowledge, empowering us to harness the healing powers of plants for holistic wellness.

2. Nurturing Sustainable Practices: In a world grappling with environmental challenges, herbal education teaches kids to live sustainably and respect the delicate balance of nature.

3. Enhancing Health and Wellbeing: Understanding the medicinal properties of herbs empowers kids to make healthier choices, promoting a robust immune system and balanced wellbeing.

4. Encouraging Curiosity and Inquiry: Herbal education ignites curiosity and encourages kids to explore the mysteries of the natural world through hands-on learning.

The Holistic Curriculum: A Journey through the World of Herbs

1. The Herbology Handbook: From Seed to Sip

The herbology handbook is the cornerstone of our botanical studies. Start by planting a herb garden together, nurturing it from seed to sip. Kids will be enchanted by the sight of tiny sprouts breaking through the soil, and as they grow, document this in your own herbology handbook. They'll learn the art of caring for plants responsibly.

2. Herbal Remedy Concoctions: Potions and Brews

Nothing captivates the imagination quite like the idea of making magical potions and brews. Through herbal remedy concoctions, kids can discover the power of herbal teas, soothing balms, and tinctures that have been used for centuries to heal various ailments.

3. Herb Identification Adventures: Nature's Treasure Hunt

Take the kids on herb identification adventures in nearby forests and fields. Armed with field guides and a curious spirit, they'll learn to identify different herbs, each with its unique story and purpose.

4. Herb and Kitchen Alchemy: Flavors and Fragrances

Incorporate herbs into cooking to explore the world of flavors and fragrances. Let kids experiment with aromatic herbs and spices, turning a simple meal into a magical feast.

Cultivating Green Minds: Encouraging Immediate Action

Holistic homeschooling extends beyond books and classes; it's about experiencing the magic of herbs firsthand. Here are some practical ways to cultivate green minds in your homeschool:

1. Start a Family Herbal Garden: Create a family herbal garden, and let each family member choose a favorite herb to grow and care for. Witness the wonder as the garden flourishes and children discover the joy of nurturing living beings.

2. Encourage Nature Walks: Take regular nature walks, and let your kids explore the natural world around them. From observing plants to spotting wildlife, these walks provide invaluable opportunities to connect with nature.

3. DIY Herbal Remedies: Involve kids in making simple herbal remedies, such as soothing balms for minor cuts and scrapes or herbal teas to boost the immune system. They'll take pride in creating these magical elixirs.

4. Herbal Arts and Crafts: Incorporate herbs into arts and crafts projects. Dried flowers can be used to make beautiful bookmarks, while herb-infused oils can be incorporated into homemade candles.

Empowering the Next Generation

In a world that's constantly changing, homeschooling with a focus on herbal education empowers children to take control of their own future. As they grow, they will carry with them the wisdom of the natural world and a deep appreciation for the magical realm of herbs.

Final Thoughts: Cultivating a Green Legacy

Holistic homeschooling with a touch of herbal education sets the stage for a transformative journey. Let us strive to raise a generation that cherishes the earth, respects ancient wisdom, and harnesses the power of herbs to thrive in body, mind, and spirit. Together, we can create a legacy of green-minded individuals who make a positive impact on the world. So, roll up your sleeves, embark on this magical adventure, and sow the seeds of herbal wisdom in your homeschool today!

So, gather around young learners and parents, and let's embark on a professionally fun and esoteric adventure that might just be the gem you were looking for!

The Power of Homeschooling

Homeschooling has emerged as a formidable force in modern education, providing parents with the opportunity to customize their children's curriculum to suit individual needs, interests, and learning styles. This educational approach fosters a strong sense of autonomy, enabling kids to explore subjects that intrigue them, pursue passions, and develop critical thinking skills. By creating a nurturing environment where students can flourish, homeschooling unlocks the potential for creativity and curiosity to thrive.

Unearthed Wisdom: Healing Crystals and Gemstones

For thousands of years, gemstones have been revered for their captivating beauty, cultural significance, and believed metaphysical properties.

The idea is to recognize the powers that crystals possess and to appreciate their potential to support emotional well-being, concentration, and mindfulness.

Enhancing Concentration and Focus - Teaching kids about crystals can be a valuable tool in cultivating focus and concentration during homeschooling activities. Some gemstones, like clear quartz, are believed to help in clearing mental clutter, providing a clean slate for young learners to absorb new knowledge and tackle challenging subjects.

Promoting Emotional Balance - Amethyst, known for its calming properties, can be introduced as a support for emotional balance during intense study sessions or moments of frustration. By encouraging emotional intelligence, children can navigate the ups and downs of learning with a clearer perspective.

Creating a Soothing Environment - Placing rose quartz in the homeschooling space can foster a sense of warmth and harmony, promoting an environment where both parents and children can thrive. This loving energy can enhance the parent-child bond and contribute to a positive learning atmosphere.

Fostering Creativity - Gemstones like citrine, associated with creativity and inspiration, can be introduced during arts and crafts sessions, sparking imaginative ideas and innovative thinking among young minds.

The Crystal Curriculum: Teaching Kids about Crystals

Introducing crystal learning into your homeschooling routine doesn't have to be daunting. In fact, it can be an engaging and interactive experience for both children and parents. Here are some professionally fun and esoteric ways to teach kids about crystals:

Crystal Treasure Hunt - Create an exciting scavenger hunt where children can search for different crystals hidden around the house or in the backyard. Provide clues about the properties of each crystal, and as they find them, take a moment to discuss the unique characteristics of each gemstone.

Crystal Identification Game - Engage kids in a playful learning experience by presenting them with various crystals and encouraging them to identify each one based on the knowledge they have gained. This hands-on approach fosters memory retention and reinforces their understanding of crystals.

Crystal Crafts and Art Projects - Incorporate crystals into art projects and crafts. Children can create stunning crystal mobiles, crystal-adorned dreamcatchers, or even paint artworks inspired by the colors and shapes of different gemstones. This artistic expression instills appreciation for the beauty of crystals.

Gemstone Journaling - Encourage children to keep a gemstone journal where they can write about their experiences with different crystals. They can record their thoughts, feelings, and observations, providing an avenue for self-reflection and creative expression.

Storytelling and Crystal Legends - Unleash your storytelling skills by narrating ancient legends and myths surrounding crystals. Children will be captivated by tales of how gemstones were believed to possess unique powers and the cultural significance they held throughout history.

Conclusion

In the realm of homeschooling, the possibilities for enhancing the learning journey are as vast as the cosmos. Incorporating healing crystals and gemstones into your homeschooling experience can bring a touch of enchantment, mindfulness, and emotional support to the educational adventure. 

By teaching kids about crystals in a professionally fun and knowledgeable manner, parents can inspire curiosity, creativity, and a deeper connection to the world around them. So, embark on this crystal-clear path, and may the gems of wisdom guide you on this empowering homeschooling odyssey.

Homeschool: Custom VS Pre-Packaged Curriculum (How to Choose Which is Right for Your Child)

1/23/2016

When you make the decision to homeschool your child, your first decision following that will be the decision of what curriculum to use. There are many on the market and choosing which is right for your child can be daunting. The first part of that process will be deciding whether you'll go with a customized curriculum or a pre-packaged one. First, you'll need to know what each curriculum type is. A definition has been provided for each, followed by suggestions that will help you determine what your child's needs might be.

Custom Curriculum Defined

A custom curriculum is one that is designed to specifically to meet the needs of the individual who will be learning. This can mean anything from being hand-picked by a professional to being researched and written by the one who is schooling the child. Basically, if the curriculum is tailored around the student's needs, versus coming in a generalized plan for a specific grade level, it is a custom curriculum.

Pre-Packaged Curriculum Defined

A pre-packaged curriculum is one that is designed to meet the needs of a specific grade level and subject. These can come as one whole grade level package containing all materials needed or can be sold as individual subjects. They will most often be catered to a specific age, grade level, or subject. These generally cannot be modified, hence the label "pre-packaged". This could be anything from an online plan to one with textbooks and materials.

Which Is Best?

There is no one answer to that question. Every child is different. While one child might thrive on a pre-packaged curriculum, yet another may do better with a custom plan.

Here are some things you can do to figure out what works best.

  1. Look at how your child has performed in school in the past, be it home school, public school, or otherwise. Has your child been able to keep up with lessons fairly well or does your child lag behind or push ahead? A child who is progressing at the expected rate for his or her grade level may do well on a pre-packaged curriculum. One who has areas that are ahead or behind the standards will likely benefit more from a customized curriculum.
  2. If the child hasn’t been to school yet (traditional or homeschool), think about the things he or she has learned at home. Does the child consistently measure up as planned or does the child seem to go full speed ahead or need additional reinforcing? A child who is consistently ahead or behind will benefit well from a customized curriculum that will cater to his or her abilities, as well as work on inabilities.
  3. Also consider your child's studying habits. Does your child understand what is being studied? Is it enough or too much, according to your child's actions? Watch to see if your child is comprehending his or lessons well. He or she does not need to always be spot on, but lagging too far behind can be a sign that a child needs a customized plan, as can surging too far ahead. Both are signs that a generalized plan may not be in the child's best interest. However, if the child is thriving well in comprehending the lessons and only gets frustrated every now and then, a pre-packaged curriculum could be the best fit.
  4. Does your child often wish for more schoolwork or ask you for a large amount of extra information to delve deeper into the subjects being learned? On the other end of the scope, does your child get overly frustrated daily or consistently receive low grades and test scores? If your child experiences either of those situations or something similar, he or she may benefit more from a customized curriculum.
  5. Is your child thriving and content with school? Does your child consistently score good on tests and receive mostly B's or above? Does your child need only a small amount of assistance when completing schoolwork? If any or all of these sound like your child, a pre-packaged curriculum may be the best option.

Advantages and Disadvantages to Pre-Packaged Curriculum

One advantage to a pre-packaged curriculum is that the child will always be performing at the required standards, providing the work is completed well and on schedule. A disadvantage to this could be the fact that if a child needs extra help, there really isn't extra work included in a pre-planned or pre-packaged curriculum, so you may have to purchase extra workbooks or materials. Some families get frustrated with this aspect, as pre-packaged curricula often carry a hefty price as it is. If you don't mind supplementing with other materials as needed, a pre-packaged curriculum could work for your family.

Another disadvantage to a pre-packaged curriculum is that if the child excels quickly, the parent may end up buying three or four grade levels worth of curriculum per year, which can get pretty expensive. If your child excels quickly already, you may need to consider this. Homeschooled children are often known to complete more than one grade level of work in a school year or to perform one or more grade level higher than their age requirement.

Advantages and Disadvantages to Custom Curriculum

An advantage to a customized curriculum is the fact that the child can get extra practice where needed and more challenge in another area both at the same time. For instance, if a child in 3rd grade is at a grade 10 reading level, but is still at a grade 3 math level, that child can have both levels be appropriate to their situation. A pre-packaged curriculum may only contain materials for one grade level. However, that isn't always the case, as some curricula contain materials for all grade levels. Also keep in mind that a pre-packaged curriculum plan can be used as part of an overall customized plan.

Making the Final Choice Between Pre-Packaged and Custom Curriculum Plans

There are many ways to choose or form a curriculum for your child. The main thing to keep in mind is that whatever plan is chosen, the child's skills and learning abilities should be considered when making that choice. Carefully think about which option may better suit your child and go with that plan. If the plan you have chosen is not working, it can always be changed. So, don't stress yourself out too much over making the decision. That is one of the many benefits to homeschooling. Your child does not have to stick to a plan that isn't working for him or her.

Can a Parent Be a Homeschool Teacher Without a Degree?

3/11/2015

 

Is a Teaching Degree Necessary for Homeschooling?

by Lyn Lomasi, Write W.A.V.E. Media Staff

Schooling children at home is becoming more and more prevalent as parents look at a variety of schooling options for the children. A question that comes up often when choosing to homeschool is the question of whether a parent can really become a child's teacher. Below, we will look at some questions that often surround that big question to find the answer.

What if the Parent Has No Degree?

There are many curricula on the market that will contain everything needed to instruct the child. Even when a packaged curriculum is not used, the parent can teach the child from the chosen class materials. Most textbooks and workbooks will come with answer keys. When they do not, it is quite simple for a parent to look up the answers in an encyclopedia, in the study material, at the library, or on the internet.

Another thing to remember is that just because a person has not gone to college and received a degree, it does not mean the person is not intelligent. Many people enjoy studying about a variety of topics at their leisure. Even when this is not the case, as previously stated, the answers are simple to find and they can be found prior to instructing the children.

Many parents who homeschool examine the material before presenting it to the children. According to the HSLDA, there is no significant difference between the scores of a homeschooled student whose parent held a degree, versus a student whose parent did not. Homeschooled students also score significantly higher than public schooled students.

What if the Child Has Questions the Parent Cannot Answer?

When there are questions presented by the child, the parent can instruct the child by teaching them to refer back to the study material to answer questions. Parent and child can do this together. If the question is not found in the study material the parent can say something like "Let's learn more about that" and can look in encyclopedias, through other study materials, and even on the internet. There are always a variety of ways to find an answer.

What About Subjects The Parent Knows Nothing About?

There are a variety of options for this scenario. One option is for the parent to learn about the subject a little bit at a time, ahead of the child, and then instruct the child on the topic. Another option could be to hire a tutor for those subjects. Another way to solve this could be to enroll the child in an online school, either just for that subject, or for all subjects, depending on the child and family's needs. Yet another option could be to place the child in a class outside the home for that subject. There are likely many more options. Those are just a few.

Will It Be Stressful For The Child?

Some may worry about children feeling some sort of anxiety over their parent teaching them. Some students may feel pressured to over-perform. If that is the case, if the stress does not die down after a reasonable amount of time, home school may not be the right choice. However, in many situations, the children will actually feel a comfort in knowing their parent will be instructing them. Many children might actually feel a relief of stress from homeschooling.

How Will The Parent Separate School And Home?

Depending on the family and the style of schooling, this may not even be necessary. With homeschooling, there is the benefit of being able to school in the same loving and nurturing way as you would parent. However, if a family does prefer to separate school and home, a schedule and set of rules that the family sticks to for school time can easily take care of that.

How Will The Parent Know What To Teach?


Just as a traditional teacher derives information from the Department of Education, so will a parent who homeschools. This information is easily attainable and is public information. Also, the HSLDA (Home School Legal Defense Association) has plenty of helpful information and resources to point parents in the right direction. Plus, as mentioned previously, there are online schools, as well as curriculum and other resources readily available.

Is a Teaching Degree Necessary to Homeschool?

While having a teaching degree would certainly be helpful and beneficial, it isn't always necessary. While this will not be the right choice for every family, there are many homeschooling families that are successful in schooling without a parent having a teaching degree. All factors should be weighed before making a decision like this. However, with determination and dedication, teaching home school without a degree is certainly possible.

Benefits of Adding Web Writing to Homeschool Curriculum

1/30/2015

Looking for something new and innovative to add to your child's homeschool curriculum? Need something more challenging or just something different? Try adding web writing. If you are already an online freelance writer, this should be simple for you. If not, study up and teach the kids what you learn. Web writing is a valuable skill for the workforce.

How Does Web Writing Differ?

Web writing varies from print writing, in that it needs to appeal to an audience with a shorter attention span. It needs to be more concise. It also needs to be easily found by the search engines. If no one can find it, there is no point in writing it. You can't just go to the magazine stand and pick up a copy. Search engines are generally the way people find works published online.

Because of that, it needs to be written in a way that is not only understandable to readers, but to the search engines as well. Catchy titles should be substituted for more to-the-point titles so that readers and the search engines will understand what you are discussing. Those are just some of the notable differences. The Yahoo! Style Guide is a great resource when learning about web writing.

Why Add Web Writing to Homeschool Curriculum

Web writing skills can be beneficial to many different career paths. In the digital age, it may even be safe to say that web writing is a vital skill. Unless a business is very small or is just starting out, chances are, they have a website or at least a blog or Twitter page. Companies are finding out more and more how important it is to have an online presence.

Adding this to your child's homeschool curriculum can help give him or her a head start in life. Even if your child is not planning on being a writer, she may need to maintain a company website for her business. Knowing how to write for a web audience and search engines will help that website (and in turn, the business) get noticed easier.

Ways to Add Web Writing to Homeschool Curriculum

If your child is old enough, he can sign up for content sites and submit work for publication. Just be sure to check guidelines. Some sites allow 13-year-olds plus to join. While others only allow those 18 and over to write for them. Also, not all sites will pay for your child's work. If she is just doing this to learn or for fun, the payment part may not be that big of a deal.

Another option is to have your child maintain a blog or even his own website. It all depends on what your child is interested in and what you think she can handle. Don't put too much pressure on your child. Allowing freedom is important when it comes to creative endeavors, such as writing.

What Should My Child Publish?

School research papers are a great way to get started with article writing. Writing an article is similar to doing a research paper in some aspects. This makes it easy for you to transition your child into writing articles. Start with one or two things at a time, such as making wording more simple or using SEO.

Your child may also want to publish poetry and short stories. Keep in mind that these don't generally do well online, as far as getting views without an existing audience. You can explain this to your child. Poetry and short stories can be optimized for the web. But it's much harder with stories because web readers don't generally stay on the same article or story long enough to read past a page or two. Non-fiction articles generally have the best success online. But allow your child to be creative and publish what he feels in his heart to publish.
