Thank you so much! I am a new homeschooling and didn't know where to start. I was so overwhelmed until I found you! You have helped me for the past couple of years and gave me confidence in myself and helped me make homeschooling simple and fun ❤

Thank you so much. My son moves onto 1st grade this year and we struggled a little in kindergarten last year. I love how you showed the curriculum in more detail and this is exactly what he needs. We plan on working a little slower and this curriculum is perfect.
Thank you SO MUCH.

First to watch and first to comment. Reading is the mother of all subjects. Watching from Uganda.

Jady! You’ve been my inspiration for homeschooling and I’m beginning this year full time with my first grader! Thanks so much for your dedication to kids education. I’ve been following you for more than four years now. Keep doing all that you do.

I start with you when my child was in kindgarten I just wanted to say everything you said about blending word and breaking them down really helped my child he is at a level D reading level so I am saying thank you from the bottom of my heart because your teaching came in handed😊

I haven’t attended to school in Western countries, but I had this impression from English media, that they don’t do dictations.
I was kind of surprised because it is big part of education of CIS and post Soviet countries.
We do dictations until we graduate with harder texts (usually they are on same grammatical topic we’ve been studying. We also do mathematical dictations (elementary school only)
We also do like rewriting. Teacher reads a text couple times. We have to memorize it and rewrite it out of memory. Teacher may write down specific words on a blackboard.
And the last one is kind of essay, but it is structurally different.

I also noticed that you don’t do retellings. For reading comprehension I only saw read the text and answer questions (write). We do read it and then retell it and then verbally answer the questions.

Last two are actually great exercises for those who are learning foreign languages
I also saw dictation in German media, so I guess European countries do that too

Thank you so much for all your insight. I randomly came across your YouTube and subscribed right away as I’m a new homeschooling mom. I also purchased your phonetic level 1 and handwriting for letters and numbers. I love how you sell the pdf and we can reuse for multiple kids. Thank you so much for all your hard work. ❤

I love all of your recommendations! For the Saxon math workbook, do you finish the entire book within the year? And if you could, I would love to see how you teach each lesson 😊

I haven't clicked on a video so fast in my notifications 😂😊 I have been waiting for this for 6 months so thank you Jady from Syd, Australia!

Thank you for sharing! We are starting kindergarten this year and I picked up. Abeka math, primer sight words for kindergarten, elemental phonics level 1, get ready explode the code set, 4 sets of the bob books ( beginning readers, alphabet, sight words, first stories) and then writing I have letter tracing by Renna, abc tracing worksheets, and numbers! As well as lots of games from learning resources as in alphabet island, slap Jack, alphabet bingo, I also got a calendar so we can do that in the morning, as well as a letter hand up pocket so we can focus on letter of the day, as well as math manipulatives and of course lots of read alounds (:
I hope I have it all down. I was going to go with Abeka the whole child kit but tbh pulling from all over different resources idk seemed more fun to do and cost friendly! Like you said previously kinder/ preschool isn’t about “ overload “ and lot of book works. So I find this educational and it’s only 5-10 mins in each work book.
But I will so love to add in that literacy binder level one next year so that be cool if you made this up for sale!! I’ll totally buy that (:
