What I meant is that a lot of homeschoolers follow a specific curriculum which is to say, a series of books, workbooks, cards, etc that go in sequence for that specific age group. They tend to have religious themes. Perhaps not all do, but I was up north, where internet was very slow so downloading anything was difficult, we didn't have any stores except Home Hardware, a few boutiques for tourists, The Source,
and The Bargain Shop.
I did peruse the Ontario curriculuum but honestly found parts confusing and parts disappointing. That's why I winged it. I figured some thigns make logical sense to teach a kid in that age group, and some sparked his interest so we ran with those, and some just naturally followed the progression.
I think we did great given that almost everything they did until about grade four was repeating what he already knew.
Websites are handy and all if you live in the city but if you're rural or northern your internetm ay not support it. I remember it taking so long to load londonmoms that I often couldn't post. I certainly couldn't go to game sites. Plus i don't see any need for computers to
be involved in learning to read. I know they get used a lot in schools but I didn't see any need. My first two learned to read from me,
and it didn't involve computers.

they did fine.
