Homeschooling For Dummies. Jennifer Kaufeld

Introduction

      Welcome to the adventure called homeschooling!

      Teaching your children at home is a rewarding and engaging way to spend your time. You relearn cutting and pasting skills if you teach kindergarten, and you review algebra facts right along with your high school student. No matter what age your student happens to be, you find yourself learning and relearning right along with your child. If you tutor your children all the way through high school, you look up one day to realize that you just relived the academic portion of your high school years — doing it one-on-one makes school time less stressful for everybody.

In other sections of the book, you may find words in italics or in
