While some of us still rely on CDs and printed books to learn about topics of interest, others are more up-to-date in our use of technology and delight in downloading podcasts or MP3 files. If that's your style, visit Sonlight's
Podcast page to explore the new resources
concerning homeschooling....
What is my state's home
school law?
If you are just getting started in your home schooling
adventure, it is important that you know the laws
pertaining to home schooling in your state. A good
source of information concerning laws in each state is
the
Home School Legal Defense
Association.
Reading Evaluation
Are you interested in having your child's reading
level evaluated? Sonlight offers the
Let's Go
Learn online reading assessment which provides
evaluation of your child's skill in six separate
categories:
- High-Frequency Words
- Word Recognition
- Phonics/Word Analysis
- Oral Vocabulary
- Spelling
- Reading Comprehension
The assessment will determine your child's grade
level in each category, identify strengths and
weaknesses, and suggest ways to work with the child
to overcome areas of weakness.
Inspiration Outlining Software
- Ideas to Outlines in Seconds
Do your junior/senior high students find outlining in
preparation for writing to be a challenge? Perhaps
they have difficulty transforming the spiderweb-style
brainstorming into an outline. Now there is help
available from Inspiration Software.
You start with a theme or idea in the center of a
blank screen and type in related ideas that will appear
in linked colored bubbles. You can change the
bubbles' colors, shapes, and patterns or choose from
over 1,300 available illustrations to highlight and
differentiate among ideas.
After you've created your "idea map" click on the
Outline tool, and Inspiration will instantly transform
your once-scattered thoughts into a traditional,
well-organized outline. What a tool for writers in
high school or college!
