emilyschinHello! My name is Emily, and we are in our ninth year of homeschooling. We originally started down this path because our oldest child was a very early reader. The kindergarten classroom didn’t seem like the best fit for him academically, and I wanted him to have more time to play. We decided to try it for a year and then reevaluate for first grade. Nine years later we still homeschool. Our second and third children are both dyslexic/2e learners, and homeschooling has provided a great way for us to accommodate all three of our unique learners. I have been so thankful for the opportunity to embrace my children’s strengths in the homeschooling environment. Suspecting and learning that two of our children are dyslexic thinkers has been at times challenging and overwhelming, yet also, there has been relief, because the more we learned about dyslexic brains so many other things began to click into place about the challenges our children have as well as their strengths. I am very excited to connect with and learn from other homeschooling parents on this forum!
