Homeschooling?

 If you are homeschooling and looking at supplies like it is expensive then you are not wrong! Homeschooling is not cheap but you can always get alternatives!

  If you have a child that is having hard time grasping and understanding reading, don’t worry a lot of kids have this and you are not alone. I am a homeschool mom of 6,7,8 year old. Two are in 1st grade and my oldest is in the 2nd grade and he has autism so it is hard for him to grasp on to things but with   reading.com  it allowed me to power through with him and help him gain the confidence he needs to help him read. This app is available on apple store or google play store. This app helps kids with the sound of letters and sounding out the words so they can understand it. It pretty much goes over the phonics and everything that they are going to need to help them read. They also have lessons, and educational games on there to help the kids better understand things in which my kiddos enjoy. Try  Reading.com  here with 7days free trial!
