Fun with SpellingCity.com

If you where at the FPEA convention this past weekend you saw fist hand how Spellingcity.com worked. But if you where not able to be there, I just want to share a few details that we love about spellingcity.com.

I love that you have freedom to have your own list or go find a list someone else has put in.
I love that you can find list of words that go with curriculum that is already out there.
I love that you can turn any list into a hand writing worksheet, even cursive writing.
I love there are games like matching sentences. That help your child and they feel liket hey are having fun playing games.

There are so many things that you can do with spellingcity.com.  I would love to hear what you like about spellingcity.com.

Wrap up your school year.

This weekend is the big FPEA conference in Orlando.  Most homeschool families are wrapping up their school year.  That way when they go to conference they can purchase their curriculum for next year or even learn what is new out there. Some go for encouragement some go for the fun and fellowship. Some new people will go to learn how to homeschool.

Not sure anyone will learn all they need to know in one weekend (2 days) but if you go to any conference    of any kind you will walk away with so much information you will be processing it for ages.  Not that is a bad thing, but if you go to a conference be patient with the information you get and know it will process eventually.

So if you are at a convention or conference remember to take time to enjoy it all. Save the processing for when you get home.
Oh and if you are a the FPEA Conference this weekend be sure to stop by and meet all the great people at time4learning.com and time4writing.com

SAT Essay Writing!

It is that time of year SAT Testing! One of the biggest issues on the SAT is the ESSAY section. What do you do to prepare for the essay question on the SAT test.? What do you do for the SAT essay writing help?  I recommend that you use the Time4Writing tutor. This is a great program. Writing is a process, requiring much re-doing, which can lead to time and time and more time used by the child.

As quoted from the Time4Writing.com Page....

"An online writing tutor can help students find their distinct voice, strengthen their paragraph structures, and learn quick ways to detect errors that need to be corrected. Every minute counts during this exam, and any preparation or writing homework help that allows  students to write more quickly and strongly will make a big difference. In addition to the personalized attention of an online writing tutor, high school students have access to the free resources on theStandardized Testing page." 


"Not only does online tutoring help with schoolwork, but it also prepares homeschooling students to learn critical habits of thinking that will help them become successful and highly literate adults who excel in the art of written and oral communication."

How can you go wrong with such a great program.  SAT Essay writing is important. This program is wonderful Check it out.
