Resources for Homeschooling Through High School... and Beyond!
Download a copy of our convention handout (PDF).
Hi! I'm Janice Campbell, and I'm glad you stopped by.

Homeschooling is such an adventure-- I'm glad you're thinking about it. My four boys have all graduated now, and I'm so thankful for the time we had together as we homeschooled from pre-school through high school, and even into college. We all learned a lot in the process, and I'm sure you will too.
I've written many articles and a few books over the last couple of decades. You'll find those here, as well as resources for 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 classic literature and writing- so you'll have more time to spend on the important things-- things that last. |
Browse through the articles, but first, be sure to sign up for the free e-zine in the box at left —I like to share new resources, articles, tips, and links that can help you grow. You'll also receive occasional sale notices or coupons (usually during convention season). 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!

P.S. I just posted the MicroBusiness for Teens book set. Enjoy!

 Teaching high school literature can be a joy! Excellence in Literature is a classics-focused high school English curriculum that is designed in easy-to-study units. Each unit presents a full-length classic novel, poem, or play, and leads the student into a research path that includes the art, music, literary, and historical context of the work being studied.
There is a week-by-week assignment schedule for each unit, and most context resources are available at your local library or online. This high school English curriculum is designed to be completed in grades 8-12, but is very flexible, so you can jump in at any level.
The curriculum is available as individual print books, e-books, or as a complete curriculum with all five levels in a big binder so that you can customize your high school English class. The five levels are Introduction to Literature, Literature and Composition, American Literature, British Literature, and World Literature.
Read more about Excellence in Literature: Reading and Writing Through the Classics, and let your students start reading and learning from the greatest literature of Western Civilization.

 • Do you have a student who struggles with spelling?
• Have you wondered how to teach your student the difference between similar words?
• Would you like a spelling program students enjoy using?
Connie Schenkelberg's new Spelling Made Easy program uses an innovative, tried and proven method that focuses on homonyms and puzzles to make spelling practice easy and painless for middle-grade students. As a bonus, students build vocabulary as they are studying each homonym group! This 1-2 year curriculum includes lesson plans and an answer key, and is available as a print book or an e-book. |

 Grammar Made Easy: Writing a Step Above is a "once through and done" grammar program by teacher Connie Schenkelberg. 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, Grammar 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. Read more about Grammar Made Easy.
