Using Picture Worksheets to Homeschool Kids

Video Transcript

About this time you can start making first word worksheets if you like. Now again you can always work in your workbook if you want to do everything each time with your child moment by moment, but if you ever want to leave them alone and let them practice something on their own for five minutes, it's great to have a worksheet and for first words, same way. Just make simple squares. I made this one in about a minute and a half. Underneath you want to make a line for each word. I like to keep the two lines with the dotted line in the middle because they're practicing their handwriting at the same time. You can write it out really neatly. You can print it on the computer. You can make squares much more neater on a computer, too. Or you can take this sheet of handwriting paper and you have the lines already made out for you. You can just draw the squares. Make sure your pictures are very easy, clear. Don't knock yourself out. If you want to learn more about drawing, you can look at the easy cartoon drawing series and just put a simple picture in each box. Make sure the first time the child knows that, yes, Mommy did draw a cat, that's not some kind of monster, or Daddy or Uncle, or whoever's doing this and then you can just go. And again, if you're gonna work for a few minutes on making this, photo copy it, don't give them the original. Photo copy it, get fifty of them, keep them in a folder or binder and you'll always have more. Maybe a neighbor might want to borrow one, and there you have it. They actually have to put many of the processes together where they learn how to put the first letter, the vowel in the middle, the second letter and put it all together. It's a great worksheet.
