Learning to use Youtube in homeschooling is the best hack I’ve learned. I know screens can get a bad rep a lot of the time. However, when I am strategic with YouTube, I get so much bang for my buck (as well as the kids!). With the help of other homeschool mamas, here is a list of strategic ways to use Youtube in homeschooling (without any guilt!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our Social Studies curriculum has us traveling the world this year. We study maps, read books, and write about a specific country weekly. We also log on to Nat Geo Kids<\/a>‘ YouTube channel to see if there are any related videos, which there typically are. These videos are my kids’ favorite<\/strong> part of the week. They love learning about a new country through the eyes of other kids. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Did you know there are thousands of read-aloud books on YouTube? Seriously. This one surprised me, but it’s true! Check YouTube if you want to read a particular book, but your library doesn’t have it. It’s most likely there\u2014everything from Charlotte’s Web to The Very Hungry Caterpillar to everything in between. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ve even found some less popular books that I haven’t been able to find anywhere else. This is a great way to incorporate more books into your kids’ daily routine, especially if you have a reluctant reader.
