I believe education has a scope and sequence. It is very dangerous to our children’s education when we jump from one curriculum to another and grab a sheet from here or there. There will be huge gaps and holes in their education.
I suggest that you pick a good curriculum. I am not saying you have to pick the hardest curriculum out there. Pick one that that works with your child’s learning ability. Challenge them but don’t frustrate them.
Get a lesson plan book and write out the goals per day, week, and month. Plan your work and work your plan. Finish the program to the fullest. Stopping in the middle is hurting your child. Yes, there are times when we need to supplement, or stop the curriculum and reteach a concept. But, master that concept before moving on to the next lesson. As one concept is built on another and then another. Make sure the foundation of your child’s education is solid.
Try to make it fun. Let your child know what is expected each day. Be consisitent.
