The Three R’s

By Dr. Ruth Beechick

Newly Formatted into one book!

Good advice on what and how you should teach in K-3 from a Christian perspective. If you have small children and you want to homeschool, The Three R's is a great book for starting.

"Three resources in one – Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic! Learn how to take the mystery out of teaching the early grades with this practical, down-to-earth guidebook from Ruth Beechick. The Three R's is divided into three sections that are tabbed for easy reference. The Reading section tells how and when to begin phonics, and how to develop comprehension skills. The Language section shows how to develop written language skills naturally, in the same way children learn oral language. The Arithmetic section explains how to teach understanding of math concepts, and not just memorization of facts." There is a bonus: A removable 2-sided wall chart for phonics and arithmetic.

If your children are older in grades 4 to 8, we recommend You Can Teach Your Child Successfully by the same author.
