Resources for Homeschooling Through High School... and Beyond!

Hi! I'm Janice Campbell, and I'm glad you stopped by!

This site is focused on home- and family-centered living with a special emphasis on writing, high school literature, and homeschooling through high school and beyond, with topics including non-traditional college and home business.

My goal is to provide articles, links, and resources that will help you make time for things that matter to you. I want to help streamline life's necessities - like high school transcripts, records, and diplomas, and teaching writing- so you'll have more time to spend on the important things-- things that last.

Feel free to browse through the pages of the site, and to e-mail me if you have any questions about what you find. If you e-mail me with a question and don't receive an answer in about 48 hours, please check your 'junk' folder. I often find things have been sent there that shouldn't be!

Be sure to sign up for the free bi-weekly e-zine in the box at left —I like to share new resources, tips, and links that can help you grow. You'll also receive occasional sale notices or convention coupons. Your contact information is safe with me-- I promise I will never, ever share your e-mail, so you'll receive only what you've requested.

After you sign up, please check your inbox for a confirmation e-mail. This will help you to make sure you actually receive the e-zine and bonus article! If you don't see it in your inbox, check your 'junk' folder, as it may have mistakenly been routed there. If you add my e-mail to your address book, you won't have any difficulty with that.

I hope you enjoy browsing the website. You may also enjoy my blog at www.Janice-Campbell.com. It's where I post new articles, reviews, classic poetry, news, and inspiration. Thank you for visiting!

College-Prep High School Literature

Introduction to LIterature, American Literature, and British Literature are now available!

Nothing captures the spirit of an age like great literature! Excellence in Literature presents a feast of classic great books, along with the context information needed to fully appreciate each work.

These challenging, self-directed courses introduce students to great literature in its historical context, while developing skills in writing and literary analysis.

English I and II provide foundational skills; English III and IV offer a chronological survey of American and British Literature, and English V focuses on World Literature.

Click HERE if you'd like to read more about Excellence in Literature: Reading and Writing Through the Classics . Be sure to sign up for the e-zine so you'll know when each level is available!

5.2.09- American Literature and British Literature (English 3 & 4) are available now; Literature and Composition and World Literature (English 2 & 5) are projected to be available by September 2009.

Grammar for Homeschoolers

Grammar Made Easy: Writing a Step Above is a "once through and done" grammar program by teacher Connie Schsenkelberg. It's designed for use in the middle grades (I used it when my boys were in 4th-9th grades, but you can use it earlier or later if you prefer).

If you believe as I do that formal grammar should be studied once, then practiced through usage in real writing assignments, Gramar Made Easy will provide the foundational study you need to make it possible. If you want to cycle endlessly through years of repetitive grammar workbooks, please look elsewhere!

It's available as a print book, as well as an e-book. I think you'll love it! CLICK HERE to read more!

SAT* Prep Workshop

Are you ready for your high school exams?

Are your test-taking skills ready for the demands of the timed essay?

If you're planning to take the SAT, you may want to listen to Conquer the Test!, a three-hour audio workshop with worktext to prepare. If you live in the mid-Atlantic area, you may want to attend a Beat-the-Clock Essay Workshop™ which will help you prepare for timed essays such as those on the SAT, the ACT, and CLEP* exams.

I offer SAT/ACT essay tips, as well as links to related articles, on the Beat-the-Clock pages and in the e-zine, so be sure to sign up for the e-zine and visit often!

Evaluate Writing the Easy Way! NEW!

Do you worry about evaluating your student’s writing?
Do you sometimes feel as if you’re missing something in the evaluation process?

Evaluating writing is so much more than just “correcting papers.” It can affect your student’s feelings about writing, his or her chance of academic success, and even the relationship you share.

In this simple, approachable little book, you’ll learn the things you need to know in order to become the writing evaluator you want to be.

I hope you enjoy browsing the website. You may also enjoy my blog at www.Janice-Campbell.com. It's where I post new articles, reviews, classic poetry, news, and inspiration. Thank you for visiting!
