Hey homeschoolers!
Does your child have a good vocabulary? If you aren't confident of that, you'll want to listen to this episode where I will explain why our children's vocabularies are vitally important. I'll also give you some simple strategies for improving their vocabulary. That's next. But first I'd like to thank my sponsor, BookShark.

BookShark homeschool curriculum is literature-based, 4-day, and faith-neutral.
Amber Reed Davis, a busy homeschool mom, says,
“We can't say enough good stuff about BookShark. We're doing Levels 3 and 5 this year. My kids are hooked. Through the amazing books, we've traveled to fascinating places and learned so much! And we're only on week 13! Who knew a middle schooler would ask if we could still do school on our 5th day because he wanted to find out what happens next in the books we're reading? Also, I've been amazed at how much I've learned through reading along with them. Oh, and the 4-day schedule is perfect. We use our 5th day to catch up or just for fun field trips, experiments, and messy art projects.”
