Summary

Lindsay Smith caught our eye on Instagram with all the cool book projects she does with her homeschool kids. We are thrilled she accepted our invitation to be our guest on today’s show to tell us more about them.

We discuss the importance of fun, visual timelines of accomplishments: books read, skills gained, and milestones achieved. Timelines also act as lessons themselves, building summary skills and even historical inquiry chops.

Plus, Lindsay gives us her perspective as a homeschooling mom currently using the Brave Writer Dart program and explains what it is like to be in our Refer-a-Friend program.
