Episode 26: Homeschooling over the Summer

To homeschool over the summer or not is the question we are tackling in this episode of The Relatable Homeschoolers. Homeschooling over the summer has its benefits, and you'll hear how the three of us approach it differently.

We all wholeheartedly agree that continuing with math and math facts is essential when kids are young and helps the new school year start off so much better.

Reading is another biggie that we all support continuing with through the summer. While we don't assign formal reading programs or writing projects, having your children participate in something like the library summer reading program is a great way to keep them reading.

There is no right or wrong way to homeschool. Every family is different with different life circumstances. Some families choose to school year-round and take a week off every six weeks, while others homeschool January through October, taking the holiday months off but schooling through the summer. There is no wrong homeschool schedule or rhythm, and there is no wrong way to approach homeschooling over the summer, either.
