Studies continue to show a steep decline in reading over the past several decades, particularly with young people. In the battle for time and attention with social media, gaming, and the ubiquitous screen, books just can't seem to compete. Professors at top universities complain that even the best students won't read books anymore. If this trend doesn't bother you, it should. Fortunately, homeschoolers are in a unique position to reverse this tragic trend. Join me in this discussion of the important counter-cultural act of reading books.

Parent & Student Webinar

Congressional reporter and co-author of the Axios Hill Leaders newsletter, Stef Kight, will run through the practical realities of what goes into writing a story, how reporters read other outlets, deal with criticism, and more.

Stef was homeschooled from kindergarten until she went to college and is a WriteAtHome alumnus (and daughter of the owners of WriteAtHome).

Stef will leave time for a Q&A at the end of her talk.

I'm street smart enough to know that you don't presume to be an expert on homeschooling while you are still in the midst of it. That's why I waited until my four daughters were grown up, doing well, and making a difference before offering my perspective on twenty years of homeschooling.

I still don't presume to be an expert, by the way, but I have spent a lot of time looking back over the years and have some advice--both philosophical and practical--for those who are in the thick of this exciting journey. I even interviewed my daughters and will share some of their thoughts on being homeschooled.

Please join me to learn what I'm glad I did and a couple things I'd do differently if I could.

Parent Webinar

Yes, students need social studies credit to graduate and receive college admission, but why not give them a way to pursue the credits while preparing them for the world beyond High School?

Discover together how History and the other Humanities can become labs for students to exercise and expand their logical reasoning abilities and how students can prepare to understand how they can impact their world.
