Electives for the homeschooled student will be found on this page!

This is an up and coming area for the homeschooling movement. As more older children are being taught at home, the need for more elective curriculum choices is being recognized by publishers. For high school, in particular, there are alternatives to the traditional academic study track.

How to Study

How to Study: A Practical Guide from a Christian Perspective

By Edward J. Shewan, Christian Liberty Press

As the title says, How to Study is a very practical guide with a Christian perspective.

It is encouraging and set up in a logical sequence that will help your student to learn good study skills. I went through our copy and marked "To Do" items for our students to accomplish as they read the book.

You could also use this book as a read-aloud study with multiple children assigning the To Do items as you read a chapter.

The Units include:

Let's Get Started
Improving Your Reading Aptitude
Improving Your Writing Skills
Improving Your Composition Skills
Improving Your Research Skills
Improving Your Study Habits
Improving Your Test Taking
Improving Your Live By Reading

There is a lot of good information packed into this little book. It's now a Lamp Post Favorite!
