This is my second year homeschooling my daughter and we are taking and unschooling approach this year. Last year ("kindergarten"), we did a very inexpensive curriculum that was very laid back called Five In A Row. My daughter hates to be forced into anything so I figured a laid back curriculum would be best. Needless to say, she started boycotting our lesson time after we read our story for the week. She liked listening to me read, she just began to hate our discussion time afterward. So this year, I through all caution to the wind and decided to be guided by her interests. I know she can read, she knows the sounds and knows how to sound out words, she just flat out refuses to do so when she is asked. She will only do it if she has a real interest in learning what the word is. She is also doing mental math (something she could not do last year) and I have not had one formal lesson with her yet this year. One of the main reasons I wanted to homeschool was not to be bound my conventional methods of measuring a child's intelligence. My daughter is a bright child and has no developmental issues so I know when she is ready, which may not be until 8 or later, that she will pick up a book and read it without any stress or trouble. Thanks again for your post! Thank you so much for your post. This is my second year homeschooling my daughter and we are taking and unschooling approach this year.

Children, using his program, were learning things way beyond their years, simply beacause it was interesting to them. That simply exposing children to things can tap into that primal thirst for learning, allowing them to control what they learn, they instinctively learn "more". I hadn't heard of this theory before, but was unknowingly doing it with my little girl, and I giggled a little when you wrote about 5 year olds reading, mine will be 5 in May and she is already strating to read. I didn't do any real teaching, just reading and encouraging her to try(after she started asking me what nearly every word she saw was), last week she played teacher with some other kids and read them a book. Anyway, love your posts. I just watched this program on this man who came up with a self directed learning program for computers.
