C. S. Lewis, considered the greatest apologist of the 20th century, was not a theologian—he was primarily a classicist, a student of literature. Dr. James Stobaugh shares his belief that the next “C. S. Lewis” God will call forth will emerge from a community that understands, analyzes, and appreciates truly great literature.
In this stimulating webinar, Dr. Stobaugh will specifically address the importance of learning how to analyze literature for effective college preparation and for the establishment of a firm apologetics foundation.

If any topic generates controversy among homeschooling parents, it is grading. From a somewhat rebellious “Why do I have to do this, anyway?” to a despairing, “I can’t do this! I don’t even know how!,” the task of evaluating our own children elicits a strong emotional response. Beneath the wide range of reactions lurks a common feeling: inadequacy. How do parents evaluate their own children? Classroom grading models do not always apply to the homeschool, so we throw up our hands in despair. What an impossible task, we think. No, not impossible. We just need the right tools. This workshop will introduce you to some practical methods you can use to honestly and ethically grade and evaluate your own children.

Would you like to give your child a classical education in this modern world? Classical education expert and homeschooling mom Kathy Weitz introduces the writing methods of Charlotte Mason in this enlightening webinar.
A highly respected educator of the late 19th and early 20th century, Charlotte Mason encouraged short lessons, copywork, narration, nature study, and picture study in early childhood education. She also advocated reading aloud carefully chosen, well-written books, memorizing poetry, learning hymns and folksongs, and making sure there was ample time to play and dream each day. Her methods were similar to the ancient classical approach to preparing young children for their formal education.
Kathy will discuss the benefits of these methods and how they can be used to prepare today's young students for a more rigorous education in following years. Kathy is the author of the new Classical Writing Primer series of workbooks for early elementary students. These workbooks are designed to help home educators establish and maintain simple, consistent weekly language arts practice. Come prepared with specific questions for the Q&A time with Kathy which will follow this presentation.

Now that you’ve been introduced to the Parents as Reading Tutors (PART) teaching method, Steven Duvall will cover the finer details of implementing your new reading plan. In this second of three sessions, parents will learn (1) how to use a specific error-correction procedure, (2) how to monitor real reading gains, (3) what reading patterns to expect when tutoring, (4) what adjustments to make when reading progress is slow to develop, and (5) to recognize when tutoring is no longer necessary. |

Since language is the foundation of most other academic learning, a solid reading ability is imperative to your children’s education. The Parents as Reading Tutors (PART) teaching method can help you build that learning foundation.
The purpose of this three-part series is to teach parents how to apply PART—an easily learned, scientifically developed program that parents can use to help children with reading problems. In as little as 15 minutes a day, research has shown that reading speed, comprehension, and reading test scores increase significantly when parents use PART as directed, even for children with reading disabilities, learning disabilities, and/or dyslexia. Through this series, Dr. Steven Duvall teaches parents how to be involved and effective in helping their children learn to read.
In this first of three sessions, Dr. Steven Duvall introduces the Parents as Reading Tutors (PART) teaching plan. Parents will learn how to (1) prepare for a PART tutoring session, (2) recognize different kinds of reading errors, (3) determine their child’s reading level, and (4) graph their child’s reading progress.

Teaching writing to middle and high school students can be an area of frustration for some home educators. Kathy Weitz will discuss the tried and true classical tradition of the Greek progymnasmata—a graduated series of exercises by which the students of antiquity were trained in the arts of writing and oratory. Throughout the past two thousand years, this method has produced many of the best thinkers, authors, and statesmen of the Western world.
Kathy is part of the Classical Writing team, a group of four homeschooling mothers who have integrated grammar, logic, and literature analysis with the progymnasmata in a unique homeschool curriculum. Students study these disciplines by analyzing and imitating history’s greatest writers. With outlines and step-by-step instructions for planning and editing compositions, teaching writing can be a manageable task—even for a homeschooling parent with limited writing expertise.
Tune in to this webinar for an overview of the entire Classical Writing curriculum, with a focus on writing instruction for middle and high school students. After her lecture, Kathy will take your specific questions for teaching classical writing in your homeschool. |

“Visual memory is far superior to auditory memory,” says Peter Russell, author of The Brain Book. Half of the population is right-brain dominant and half is left-brain dominant. If you have more than one child, you likely have a right-brained learner in your midst. Auditory learning doesn’t come as naturally to these wonderful children as it does to their left-brained siblings. Rather, they store information in their long-term memory by using pictures, color, story or emotion attached to the facts they need to learn. Unfortunately, many traditional curriculums are designed for auditory learners. In this workshop you will learn how to identify the right-brained child and incorporate simple teaching techniques, such as visual spelling strategies, that cause the words to “stick instead of slip.” You can easily train your child’s all-important photographic memory—it’s one of the best learning gifts you can give him. Help your child get in touch with the “smart part” of himself. |

Once you have identified your right-brained learners, become an expert at training those children to use their superior photographic memory. Teach them how to efficiently use the Universal Memory Storage System. Your child will develop the lifelong skill of studying for tests by taking a picture of the contents of a chapter. (These memory techniques are commonly used by Cambridge University students to reduce studying time.) And you will learn techniques for teaching Right-Brain Math—you’ll be able to show your child how to visually store math facts by putting “velcro” on these processes for easy storage and retrieval. No more math phobia! Using these powerful strategies, your right-brained children will truly “learn how to learn,” and confirm to themselves that they are smart! Learning doesn’t have to be so hard!

We've all suffered it at one time or another: frustration about writing assignments. Either on the receiving end, or perhaps now on the giving end, there can be a few distinctly discouraging aspects to teaching and being taught writing. The tough questions include: What to correct and how to give a grade? How much help is too much? Isn't the assignment clear enough? Why don't students find their own errors? Learn and avoid four teaching mistakes that contribute to this frustration: Overcorrecting, Holding Back Help, Unclear Assignments, & Over Expectation.
