I am missing the foundational part where the eight smarts are actually explained in detail. But I feel like I walked into the second half of a book. This book came about because Jamie Erickson (author of Homeschool Bravely) was on Tina Hollenbeck's podcast, and because I love everything that Erickson recommends, it led me to this book. I love the idea of the "eight smarts" and translating that into practical ideas for daily instruction and making the overall education of our children better for them.īUT - no one said that I needed to read "8 Great Smarts" by Kathy Koch first. As a new member of the homeschool community, I love the idea of looking at your children and understanding their strengths, and playing to that. It is hard to review because now that I am finished, I am a bit frustrated. Know your kid’s smarts, then watch them start engaging with their world in fresh ways. Hollenbeck concludes by showing that when parents know their kids’ multiple intelligences-and when kids understand their family members in turn-it leads to a healthy homeschool dynamic. Yet when it comes down to it, the real benefit of homeschooling is personal relationships. Tina Hollenbeck, a leader in the home education community, applies the 8 Smarts to each division of a complete curriculum: It’s up to the teacher to figure out the best way to reach each one.īased on the 8 Smarts identified by Kathy Koch-word, logic, picture, music, body, nature, people, and self- 8 Great Smarts for Homeschooling Families tailors these ideas to the unique setting of the home classroom.
Not every child receives knowledge the same way.
But that means knowing how your child learns. One of the benefits of a home education is a curriculum designed to fit each student. and that matters a lot for homeschool parents.
