There are many homeschool programs out there, and it can be tricky to know which one is the best for your family. As you search, keep these four characteristics in mind.\r\n
With a program that meets all of them, your homeschool will be in good shape this year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Lots of Books<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Prioritize the homeschool reading programs that offer your kids a rich library full of books. Whether you\u2019re looking for a homeschool preschool program<\/a> or something for older students<\/a>, placing engaging books in students\u2019 hands is one of the best ways to encourage their literacy skills.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Growth Metrics<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Most homeschooling parents aren\u2019t trained teachers, so don\u2019t feel bad if you aren\u2019t sure how to measure your kids\u2019 reading levels. The right program can handle that task for you. The best homeschool programs for kindergarten and beyond assess your readers\u2019 Lexile levels<\/a>, match them to appropriate books, and keep track of their growth progress.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Flexible Style<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The homeschooler you are today isn\u2019t necessarily the same homeschooler you\u2019ll want to be a year or two from now. As you learn more about your family\u2019s style, you may choose to move from a classical approach to a Charlotte Mason<\/a> one, for example. There\u2019s no reason to throw out your entire homeschooling framework when that happens. Instead, pick a flexible language arts program that can adapt to various homeschool styles.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Online Format<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Today\u2019s kids are growing up in a tech-savvy world. Your homeschooling materials should match.\r\n
Online homeschool programs build students\u2019 digital literacy while also developing their academic skills. Your kids will learn to navigate a computer-based world and develop communication skills for the 21st-century workforce.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

With LightSail for Homeschoolers<\/a>, you\u2019ll get all this and more. The thousands of books<\/a> available through this online platform pair with any homeschooling style from unschooling<\/a> to school-at-home. Based on the Lexile<\/a> framework, LightSail matches your kids to just the right texts<\/a> and encourages their reading growth every step of the way.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
