Let’s be honest:  even after we make the decision to homeschool we have questions!  “How do I know what to teach?”  “How important are grades and assessments?”  “What else should I be teaching?” In this episode based on chapter 3 of The Question, host Lisa Bailey and guests Marc Hays and Leslie Hubbard share insights on these and other frequently asked questions.  Listen in as they ruminate on the point of education, the place of technology, and how classical education teaches self-control.

A tool that could produce better readers would be worth its weight in gold to many of us!  Happily, just such a tool is waiting for us all:  Active Reader Questions!  Whether you want to become a more discerning reader, raise a more intentional thinker, or enjoy deep conversations about what you read with your family, this tool is a wonder.  Join Lisa Bailey, Marc Hays and Stephanie Meter as they explore how asking questions (of ourselves and others) leads to richer reading.

Are you still on the fence about writing in your books, even after Practicum?  Join Lisa Bailey, Marc Hays, and Stephanie Meter as they reveal how “marking the text” made reading Animal Farm a different experience this time around.  You’ll gain some practical tips on methods of marking, and discover how marking your books leads to conversation:  with the book, with the author, with yourself, and with others!  (This is the second episode in a series using Animal Farm to illustrate the tools good readers use.)
