How can I homeschool more than one child?
People often wonder how homeschool parents can teach so many different ages at once. Perhaps the public school policy of segregation by age conditions society into thinking this is the only way and makes what should be a normal part of family life seem like a daunting task. I enjoy having my four children all working together at the dining room table or listening as I read aloud from history. Even though my youngest might not be able to fully comprehend everything, she definitely gets the benefit of repeated exposure to new concepts. Plus, my older children get the benefit of repeated practice on the basics by helping her. In your own home, it will likely take some time and a little juggling at first to find what best works for your family when you’re teaching multiple children at different levels; just remember that grade levels are very arbitrary and they don’t have to rule your homeschool.
