Creating a Lifestyle of Learning: Using Real Books and Real Life Experiences in Your Homeschool

Creating Lifetime Memories through Sharing Living Books: Favorite Read Aloud Books
Out of thousands of books available, what makes a certain few stand out? What do families love about them? What makes them great for all, both children and adults? As Robertson Davies wrote, "A truly great book should be read in youth, again in maturity, and once more in old age." Each family's culture is unique-based upon the books and experiences they have shared. Relive some of the Farewells' favorites in this workshop.
Shaping Character through Classic Living Books
Jesus told fictional stories called parables to teach truth. Let us follow His example by sharing classic literature with our children. A well-written story can have a powerful impact that children remember much longer than a straightforward didactic lesson. As Robert Pitman wrote, "It is the books we read before middle life that do most to mold our characters and influence our lives."
Travel: Adventures in Motor Home Schooling
Half of the Farewells' home schooling doesn't even happen at home!

Traveling the highways and byways provides a unique opportunity to learn America's history, natural science, and geography firsthand. Each day has its own special experiences, enabling them to learn about risk, trust, success, failure, and the wonder of divine appointments. Whether your time on the road is mostly local or for long trips, your family can also delight in this method of education.
