Resources for Parents who home school

Usborne books have been used for years by home schooling parents. Recently Usborne books developed a new program called "Ten Terrific Weeks". The daily activities are age-appropriate, interactive ideas which make learning fun and typically take an hour or less. The activity sets are so comprehensive that they even come with shopping lists for supplies or food (if applicable). Our goal is for every child to be excited about learning! There is nothing as special as seeing a child's face light up when they learn something new. So, have fun and keep learning!

Terrific Ten Weeks include:

  • Themed set of books
  • Educational activities for 10 weeks, 5 days a week.
  • What to read
  • Topics for discussion
  • Additional correlated activities
  • Any needed worksheets, supply lists
  • Certificate of completion
  • List of additional Usborne titles to complement each set (including younger reader participation titles).
Terrific Ten Week packages options are:

Adventures in Ancient Egypt Set
Adventures in Creativity Set
Adventures in Space Set
Adventures in Space Set

Adventures of Fairy Princesses

Literacy Improves with Personalization!

A recent study conducted by the U.S. Department of Education found that nearly 90 million Americans lacked basic literacy skills. This may be a shocking statistic to some, and to others a call to action.

Lisa Whiting, owner and operator of Books Unique, does her part in improving literacy skills in children, and hopefully instills a passion for reading in the process.

Books Unique specializes in personalized books for children. On the website one selects a type of book from various categories such as baby books, anniversary, graduation, and more. After the type of book is selected, the customer completes a brief information form with the child's name, age, hometown, friend's names, and other information that will be used to make the child the star of their own story! Once the order is submitted, the creation of the personalized book begins. The main character assumes the child's name, age, hometown, and so on making him or her personally involved in the story.

"Children will actually want to read these stories because the story is about them," says Lisa. Lisa is a stay-at-home Mom interested in working with educators to improve literacy using personalization. She is also available for involvement in fund raising campaigns.

The goal is life-long reading habits. What better way to catch children's attention than to involve them personally in the story they're reading? That's what Books Unique is all about! For more information on personalized books visit Books Unique
