Free Book from All About Spelling

My favorite spelling curriculum, All About Spelling, is offering a free copy of their popular e-book All About Homophones this week!  When you place any order, no matter how small, they'll include this downloadable book for free!  This book usually sells for $27.95, so that's a great deal!  Sale ends at midnight on November 1, 2010.  Here are the details:

Here's how to claim your free book with any purchase:

1. Add any product(s) to your cart.
2. Do not add the All About Homophones e-book to your cart quite yet.
3. In the upper left corner of the cart, you'll see a box that says "Special Code." Type in these three letters, all in capital letters: AAH. Then click the "Apply" button.
4. The free All About Homophones ebook will appear just above where you enter your shipping information. Click the orange "Add to Cart" button.

Enjoy!

I am currently using All About Spelling with our dyslexic 5th grader and with our 3rd grader.  For more about how we are using All About Spelling, read this post.

Seasonal bargains

My boys love costumes.  They dress up all the time!  My youngest one practically lives in costumes 7 days a week.

The day after Halloween many shops will mark costumes down as much as 75%! You can often find great deals.  Last year after Halloween I picked up several inexpensive costumes for Christmas gifts.  If you'll need costumes to go along with something you are studying this year (cowboys, kings and queens, knights....) this is the time to pick them up!

I also bought some Gingerbread "castles" last year...they were meant to be haunted houses or something, but we used them to make medieval gingerbread castles when we were studying the Middle Ages. Just don't use the orange and black frosting...make your own.

Family Devotions During the Christmas Season

Do you have a desire to start family devotions? Are you looking for some ways to turn your childrens' hearts toward the Lord during the upcoming holiday season? The Advent season begins the Sunday after Thanksgiving!

In my podcast Preparing Hearts for Christmas, which I recently shared for the Ultimate Homeschool Expo, I share lots of encouragement and practical tips on implementing family worship during this special time of year.




It's not too early to start planning for a meaningful Christmas season!
