Methods
Learning strategies and styles are different for everyone. One of the best things you can do before beginning homeschooling is identifying your child's learning style. This will give you the tools you need to meet your child where they're at instead of fighting the process. When you know the best way that your child learns, then you can capitalize on that with alterations in your curriculum, plans, and strategies to reduce frustration, increase learning, and have more joy and fun with your homeschooling.
