She said one of her fondest memories of her mom were that she always had time for one more story, even if they would be late for an appointment or had other things to do, her mother never said no to more reading. That touched me so much and I will never forget it. I want to be that kind of mom too! A woman I knew in a writing class I took not too long ago was reminiscing about her recently deceased mother.

I also enjoy listening to a story in the car together, in fact, if I could read all day, I would. I love reading to my children, I think it is the best thing about homeschooling.

How can you NOT read it aloud! I knew that you would still be reading aloud to your middle school girls (and younger kiddos) because I know you have a deep appreciation for good literature.

Many of the books the older girls have to read for school they read on their own, but typically, I pick one book a month that I read aloud. Before school ended this year we read The Scarlet Letter aloud. This book is actually hard to read on your own and I think if they did so they would have lost interest, but reading aloud was fun for them. I love reading aloud to all of them. I find it relaxes all of us. And I never knew it had so many more benefits beyond that. I still read to Jane and Kate ( and of course to Anthony and Maggie).

Do I need to prove that she is high school ready before her chronological age, or can I place her in high school level studies earlier than that? If so, can I still do this even though she is enrolled under AIE, an umbrella school and is technically considered a private schooled student?
