I'm not talking about "socialization", I mean what happens when kids work together to learn. It's just often easier, more fun, less stressful, to learn alongside other people. With a small family, it seems that homeschooling would be basically individual study by necessity. That may not be his forte (it's not mine).<br /><br />As far as his skills go, my middle nephew struggled so badly with reading prior to 3rd grade that he saw a specialist. He is now in 4th grade and aced both the reading and math portion of the WASL and reads like a maniac at home. I am totally convinced it just happens on the kid's own developmental timeline.Katehttp://terribleperfect.typepad.com/terribleperfectnoreply@blogger.com
