Hi,
I was about to add to the conversation, when I realised I had not
introduce myself to this list. I, Lucie have three sons who have never
been to school. The first two are sixteen and are very different
learners. They started reading quite naturally. And I have little
clue how it happened. One day, we were driving looking for a certain
street and discussing how we would teach the twins to read ( didn't
grasp unschooling then) when the twins interupted us, to tell us we had
pass the street we were looking for. " How do you know?" , I asked them.
"We read the sign to pass the time", they answered. WE litterally
didn't realised they had learned to read.
The third son is 10. He was a late reader ( 9) and still has
difficulty with reading. He could recognised whole words when he was
three, but could not break the phonic code until later. Computor
programs like civ III were great motivator. So I became aware of the
process he went through. First, he stated to group the syllable and
associated them with sounds. His confidence was shaky at first but
eventually reading made sense. Now he wants to read to me , to gain
speed... He never wanted to read younger picture books , only chapter
books. And now, he joined a book club!

Hi Lucie,
I'm in Ottawa too. Would you e-mail me personally if you have time to give me a bit of info. My son is just 2 1/2 but I want to know what is out there for unschoolers in the region.
Thanks
