Read, Read, Read! Or: What’s Really So Important About Books, Anyway?
You’ve heard it before: Read more. Educate with great books instead of schooling with textbooks. Use “living” books instead of “twaddle.” But WHY exactly is reading so important? And HOW do you educate with books that aren’t designed for teaching? This session explores these various questions and gives statistical evidence based upon nearly 30 years of personal experience, as well as practical applications for making authentic education through reading work in your home. Learn how the right kind of reading may be the thing that has the single greatest impact over every area of your child’s academic development.

Who’s Walking the Wall? How to Prepare Godly Children for an Ungodly World
Just as knights of yesteryear had to protect the castle, we parents must protect our children. Not just physically, but also as sentries of their hearts. However, as they grow our job evolves. We must incrementally prepare our children to engage and IMPACT the culture of the outside world, recognize the enemy and also be able to defend themselves and their own castle some day. Using Biblical principles and practical application, Cheryl shares five areas we must focus on to prepare the next generation of knights to take their stand on the wall.

Navigating Through High School …and Beyond
Are we “getting it all in?” Are we “meeting the standards”? High School and preparing for graduation is an area of insecurity and concern for many homeschooling parents. Even for experienced homeschoolers, that journey through the final years can be confusing and a bit overwhelming – as we prepare our children to start their future as well as for scholarships, college applications, transcripts, the ACT, careers, etc, This session is to help you see a plan to navigate through those seas and even help you figure out what to teach so that you can comply with regulations and requirements of the system without sacrificing your family’s values and your child’s education.
