My son, Kin get to choose what the new topic he would like to learn. We would then look for reference books from the books stores or books fairs. Usually, we choose few topics at one-go from giant book fair like Big Bad Wolf and BookFest Malaysia.
Once the topic is fixed, I would group all the relevant books and seek for relevant video clips, activities (art & craft, experiment and etc.). If a particular topic is too huge such as “Animals”, suggest to learn up to maximum 2 weeks. Then, pick other topic to learn and get back to “Animals” some time later. Else, the topic will drag too long and your child will get bored.
Some topics which we had covered so far:-
- Solar System
- Earth
- Animals
- Dinosaur
- Robots
- Insects
- Nature
- Human Body
I would suggest you to read up my homeschooling tips & tricks page if you are the first comer, that would assist you for a smoother start or perhaps take a peep at my homeschooling Q&A page which might answer some general doubts you have.
