Do you have a child who is gifted or twice exceptional? Or a child or teen with sensory issues, like Sensory Processing Disorder or ADHD?
Our daughter struggled with both of these things in her early years, and recently graduated from college, cum laude.
Be encouraged. Homeschooling can be such a great way to go for twice exceptional kids.

If you have a child struggles with reading, focusing, and visual distractions, or a teen who just gets distracted by the other words on the page…my family recommend trying the Reading Focus Cards. I like how they work to eliminate distraction, helping the reader to focus on just the words at hand, at the time......They also have an app for computer use.
Homeschool storage space, reading area, making space for active play needs and more.

Another Great Resource - Oak Meadow First Grade Curriculum
This is more fitting for preschool or kindergarten, but is full of art-related ways to teach early English and math. Hands-on and creative.

Our Favorite Elementary Curriculum for our 2e Daughter - Oak Meadow 5th Grade
We especially loved how they integrated social studies with literature and writing, and how the lessons spoke to the child. Used curricula is available on Amazon under Oak Meadow Seconds.
