Ordered some more Spellaway books for Charlotte as she’s keen to continue with them. She used the Schofield and Sims maths books at the Waldorf and I like them much better than the Heinemann ones used in state schools. They cover the whole of primary maths and English – whole range available on their site. Workbooks are not a necessary part of home education but were still using them for just now. I bought Daniel a key stage 3 maths program on CD rom which he will be starting soon. We also signed up for the Guardian’s LearnPremium site covering every area of the National Curriculum through EO – I think it was about £25 for the year. It is quite handy as a back up resource – Daniel liked doing activities on there about volcanoes and Earthquakes. I also like it’s newsdesk items – weve always discussed current affairs with our children and feel it is a valuable part of education. While discoursing on these more orthodox forms of learning I should mention another one we enjoy – word of the day from Dictionary.com – you can have it emailed to you each day, though strangely it doesn’t seem to arrive every single day but is good anyway 
Weve found these Spellaway books really useful for Charlotte as she enjoys tham and they give a variety of extra spelling practice tasks. It’s quite amazing how well her spelling has come on in 1 term of home ed. – these books are only a small part of that of course!
