4:48 pm Enrichment, From the Teacher, Language Arts, Mathematics, Philippines

Homeschooling does not just mean that the learning takes place within the confines of one’s home. Homeschooling means having the option to choose from among the many learning enrichment centers that provide more skills and new things to learn for homeschoolers.

When my children were still homeschooling, I considered daily tasks as avenues for learning: Science and Math concepts at the supermarket; scheduling and time management for the day to day activities; practical life skills (plus home-making skills) with the household chores; good moral and right conduct with how we deal with the people we encounter throughout the day; honing creativity and imagination through arts and crafts. The list of possibilities and opportunities to learn are endless, if only parents are resourceful and have the “energy” to pursue extra-curricular activities.

I’ve recently been introduced to a not-so-new concept of teaching children academic concepts in an enriching manner, through NumberWorks’nWords, an international learning center for Math and English. What I meant by not-so-new is that I also do the process NumberWorks’Words do with the students: assess, make a program and do a progress report.

What sets the centers apart from the usual tutorial centers is that there are individualized programs for Math and Reading available in NumberWorks’nWords. The centers have evolving learning computer software that they have been developing for years to meet the students learning needs. These learning modules have been developed by educators and software engineers.

Professor Dan Handy, the Managing Director of NumberWorks’nWords explained that their centers want the children to love learning through their programs. The Math Programs are being continually developed by experts while the English programs are geared toward reading, comprehension, writing, spelling and grammar.

NumberWorks’nWords provide assessment process to be able to create individualized programs for the children enrolled with them. They also provide progress reports. All these in an atmosphere where learning is enjoyable.

Here are some fun games for your children to try while they are learning: Games from Number Works’nWords

    Hi Teacher Julie! I am guessing you were present at the Number Works and Words Mommy Blogger Media Launch, since you are posting about it. Sayang, I was supposed to go too, but had to attend a pro-life rally. It would have been GREAT to meet up with you! I have been trying to e-mail you through the email add on your other blog (webmaster@teacherjulie.com I think) but have been unsuccessful. We are planning a Catholic Homeschoolers Summit and would LOVE to have you as a parent resource. Please do let me know how I can contact you via e-mail so I can send you further details plus the event write-up. Thanks a lot! A blessed Easter to you and your family! – TeacherMama Tina

    Hi Tina, yes I was there sayang would love to meet you. Been to your blog a few times. I don’t homeschool anymore, I guess I can’t be a parent resource but I’d gladly attend your summit and write about it 🙂 Maybe you can send me a virtual poster of the event so I can post it here. Thank you! 🙂
