I’m not looking to homeschool my kids, but I do I want to create some effective age (8 -11 year olds) appropriate lessons and teaching materials for some summer learning.
Is there a community that sort of does that?
A separate and related question How can I do home tutoring for subjects they are weak in?
My two tricks for this are leaving out comic books (easier read, but same number of words, if they read long enough), and reading to them at bedtime (because it’s just time and attention, and they love that.)
On the bedtime reading, beware - they will interrupt constantly at first, because they want the extra attention more than they want the story to move along. Lol.
Edit: Oh! And weekly trips to the library. They get a dopamine hit from choosing and checking out books, and then they revisit that hit by reading the books later. I also let them pick something for me to read to them, if they’re interested in it, but afraid to try to read it.
Also, most libraries have comic books, often sorted by age appropriateness.
