1. The desire to foster a closer relationship with each of your children and your kids with one another
2. A teachable spirit on the part of the parent.
3. A home environment that is conducive to learning; centers in your home that make learning fun and accessible.
(Ideas: a quiet and cozy reading nook, bookshelves crammed with great books, a listening corner complete with headphones and a beanbag chair, uncluttered smooth surfaces for writing, stacks of coloring/activity books and colored pencils.)
4. Two hours of your time to devote to your children’s studies.
(K-2 grades might be finished with their schoolwork in as few as 45 minutes; students in 3-6 grades as math and grammar assignments might get a little more involved.)
5. A library card.
