When we think of educating our children, we often think of our children sitting at desks or the kitchen table using textbooks and workbooks. While this kind of teaching/learning is enjoyable to some students, most students (and parents!) enjoy breaking out of the more traditional classroom setting in exchange for ideas and activities that are more fun! It is possible to incorporate alternative kinds of teaching and learning into your homeschool, and it doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive! There are ways to use hands-on activities, dance, poetry, drama, experiments, fun literature-related activities, music, travel, and more to spice up your homeschool! If you’re in a homeschool rut or if you’re just not sure how to add a little fun and adventure to your homeschool, we would love to share some ideas and information with you! Your children will thank you (Ok…it may be years from now! But they will!) and your family may discover a new love for learning this school year!

Latin, Math, Logic, and Science: all subjects which are completely necessary to a well-rounded education. While each of these subjects plays a pivotal role in the formation of a student, each is not without limitations. Stories play an irreplaceable role in the moral instruction of students.

Reading shouldn’t be another assignment to check off the list. It should be an integral part of the rhythm of your home. But, between diapers and division flashcards, how can you find the time to immerse your children in great books? How can you ignite a passion for a well-crafted story when all you hear is, “Reading’s not my favorite thing, Mom!”?

How do you give your child a safe environment to play with words? Encourage the storyteller in your pre-reading child by capturing his own words in print. Learn how to partner with your young student to compose stories about things he cares about. The more he composes with you, the easier it will be for him to advance from a blank page to a finished composition. Like learning to walk, writing takes experimentation, time, gradual improvement, and daily cheerleading!
How can you help your child become a life-long reader? For young students to learn to read, combine a systematic approach to letter and sound relationships, word families, and spelling patterns with practicing and applying reading strategies. This emphasis on comprehension also encourages students to read to learn at an early age. As mastery increases, reading-strategy lessons help students to comprehend, recall, and analyze information in fiction, nonfiction, and content textbooks. Come learn how to foster a confident, fluent, discerning reader that can tackle the difficult, reading-heavy subjects of middle and high school.

Join Mark Hamby as he explores how the Hebraic art of storytelling cultivates the discipline of discernment. Through the story of Ecclesiastes 12 and prodding influence of the Ancient Shepherd, the biblical principles of delight, truth, and wisdom will help parents and children gain essential knowledge to distinguish between good and evil, fact and fiction. As children and young adults develop their worldview through the exercise of their senses (Hebrews 5:12-14), they will gain an objective filter to test all things (1Thess. 5:21-22). Finally, well discover how the five eternal truths parallel Romans 4 & 5, demonstrating how children can be fully convinced that all things really do work together for good to those who love God (Romans 8 & Eccles. 3).
Cognitive strength is key in being able to understand, remember, and apply what is being read. In order to read for understanding, a student must go beyond decoding skills and phonetics. By utilizing and building core skills, a student can dramatically improve their understanding, retention and application of written text. This seminar will discuss the basics of reading comprehension and how cognitive training can improve outcomes.
This seminar promises to be a great awakening in an age when images deaden our senses and rob us of creative imagination. Based on the timeless principles of Romans 4 and 5, and 2 Peter 1, parents will discover why stories with characters of unwavering character are essential for children of all ages, in all subject areas. Believing that you will be the same five years from now as you are today, except for the people you meet and the books you read, calls for a rebirth of inspiring moral literature! In this dramatized lecture, be prepared to laugh and be brought to tears as Mark Hamby demonstrates the power of character-based literature and exposes the foolishness of Follys seductive influences prevalent in todays Christian literature. All attendees will be given an annotated bibliographical catalog of inspiring Christian literature written during the 17th19th centuries.
