My name is Felicia Wright and I’m an unconventional homeschooling mom and teacher that stepped off the beaten path and now I help other parents do the same. After teaching for several years I discovered that school dimmed the light of so many children and I didn't want to participate anymore.
Now I help families as a family education consultant as well as share what I have learned as a business owner.
I believe that as a community we can create better educational outcomes if we work together. It is time to come together to create a better system for our children; even if that means bringing our kids home.
Thank you so much for watching my videos and caring about the future of children. I post videos regarding homeschooling and business.
Please subscribe and share and let's change the world together.
Join the conversation to reshape how we see education.
A one size fits all model does not work, school choice and education alternatives are what our children need. 🤓

Evan Moore and critical thinking co. Are amazing! It gives guides to how to teach the lesson. Also, UA-cam videos are an amazing tools. Thankful to those people that take the time to upload those videos.
I’m so glad you agree. Workbooks are great!!!!!! Cut em up! write in em. Make them into board games, cards, hide the pages and ask kids to find and solve. It’s FUN and you know what? It’s rewarding to see a scribbled page, a stamp at the bottom or a sticker.
💕💕💕
Omg, we're transitioning into homeschooling and I'm so glad the algorithim recommeded you! This content is so helpful and I expect I'm going to go down the rabbit hole and binge all your videos now. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and passion!
This was an awesome explanation of workbooks! We have used a ton of awesome curriculum but I always come back to workbooks! I tend to lean toward a more Charlotte Mason/Child Led/Eclectic homeschool but workbooks have helped me to “test” my daughters knowledge and guide me in what to expand on. Currently we have been using Brain Quest 4 to reinforce some topics I have already taught and go over some new topics that I had on my goal list for this year. My favorite way to use this particular workbook is: 1- pick a few days that I need my daughter to work independently, 2 - the night before the day I get out post-it notes and put them on the pages I want her to complete with any notes about the lesson, 3 - I write out any rules, vocabulary, math concepts or ideas from the lessons I chose on the whiteboard, 4- I create a UA-cam playlist by searching the key words in the Brain Boxes and send the videos to my daughters UA-cam kids, 5- I add which videos to watch with each lesson on the post it notes, 6- I go over the concepts in the morning that are on the board. This usually buys me a whole day of independent work!
I also love Evan Moor! We have used 2 years of 6-Trait writing, a few of the history pockets to supplement our literature based history courses, and I recently discovered the skill sharpeners for grammar and STEAM.
New friend! Thank you for sharing this! Yes, fearing the gaps & than we spend hundreds on curriculum that we don't even get through! Brain Quest is awesome❤
My son is in 1st grade now. I try to find a video online about the subject that we are studying on YT then we discuss it and go to workbooks and/or practice on board
Your right I have been using brain Quest for my son since prekindergarten and also used the book series "What Your (prek-6th) Grader Needs to Know" (by the core knowledge series)
I'd go through the What Your _ Grader Needs to Know" book and then we'd do the brainquest workbook section that covered that lesson.
Using the WYGNTK books and brainquest workbooks together gets AMAZING results from my son (who is one of those boys who can't sit still in his classroom lol) and we use both over the summer so he's prepared for the next grade and doesn't fall behind (and there's no summer learning loss!) His teachers loved learning about me using both at home and recommended both to parents of students who were behind or struggling because both books are low cost
I have started to use workbooks with my kids and I noticed a BIG difference when I started to do this. I need to get more. Thanks for your help with getting my family started with the process. We appreciate you 💕🥰
I'm so happy it was helpful!
This makes me feel so much better! I’ve been using workbooks for a while now but was worried they were not “good enough”
We love Evan Moor!!! I also find a lot of unique activity books on Amazon on whatever specific thing we are learning
I love using workbooks! Last year we used brain quest, this year we’re going to use tinker active.
This was great hearing from your wisdom as a former teacher. We enjoy brain quest and Evan moor also. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! I've been stressing about homeschooling my soon to be 5 year old and worried that I wouldn't cover enough material.
I had purchased allinone Curriculum because it's cheap and has all subjects but i quickly figured out that i hate prining off everything and having to organize the papers 😂
I recently checked out workbooks instead and I LOVE it! More importantly my daughter loves them. The colors, layout and ease of tracking progress.
I have her do ABCMOUSE learning path as a supplement and we are focusing on hooked on phonics for our language arts but everything else is workbooks!
Thank you also for being representation for African American homeschool moms. Not many of us out here 😂
Thank you for this! I am a new homeschooling mom with no teaching background, so I really appreciate learning from teachers turned homeschooling parents like yourself! I just rediscovered a love for workbooks. My kids are young, and sometimes doing just a little bit each day is all they have an attention span for. I would really appreciate a review on the Evan Moor Daily Series! I like the idea of biting off a small chunk each day of a variety of subjects. I think that approach would work really well for my kids. Thank you again for your channel!
Thanks for the suggestion. I will definitely do a video on Evan Moor.
I’m so happy to have you here. I just did a homeschooling workshop on the page as well that would help.

Just found your channel and am loooovinn all your tips. We did kindergarten with our twins this year and next year will have two first graders, a kinder, and a prek. Plus an infant. 😅 Your channel is giving me great tips and helping give me confidence for next year. Thank you!
Loved this video! What a great topic! I think that sometimes workbooks can be dismissed too quickly by homeschoolers - but I have actually found that good quality workbooks can be VERY helpful and even a really fun part of homeschool. There are definitely weaknesses, and we can't use ONLY workbooks for homeschool, but I've found them to be an excellent tool.
Yes! I completely agree. They are so helpful.
YES! We LOVE workbooks here! I do find myself YouTubing and googling how to teach the topic then I do give the lesson, and I don't mind that but sometimes it is time consuming so I may switch to a scripted Curriculum, but still unsure.
Great video!! I really appreciate this video and felt it was very helpful. I myself do gravitate towards workbooks and I like to teach a lesson myself, together then on their own just like you have said to. I even add in UA-cam videos. The problem is I always self doubt myself and ditch the workbook and get a fancy expensive curriculum my kids always hate. So your video really helped to reassure me and put my mind at rest. To know this is what teachers do really was great knowledge and I really appreciate it.
You can do this for sure! 💕💕
Thank you very much for this video!!!!!!!!! I'm using spectrum early years for math. Creative teaching materials for reading.
I used workbooks this year for the first time. Thank you for your suggestions. I’ll check them out. It was helpful to me since I had just had our baby. I was able to easily ask my daughter to turn the section and do some work while I attended to the baby or took care of other stuff. Also was helpful as a reference point to on where they needed to be. Cons for me were I think the one we had had a few mistakes, so you do need to be aware and supplement with a lesson and other information. But overall good for practice and as a portfolio just in case.
So glad I found your channel!
Great video. Good advice for using the work book. We use an online Math classfor math, a Charlotte Mason curriculum for our Language arts type subjects and History and we use a unit based science curriculum but that said I like to use Brain Quest to make sure he's where he's supposed to be but also we use Brain Quest for our mobile learning for our weekly therapy and doctors visits. It's all subjects write there in one book which is so so great for the car and the waiting room.

My child has always been homeschooled. I have used THE BRAIN QUEST but it only goes to the 6 grade. What other ones like those would you suggest.
Does brain quest has teacher guide??
What are your thoughts on the school zone workbooks? I have a second grader and just want to keep it simple.
Is there a certain strategy that you would use when creating the lesson plans from the workbooks?
Can’t you teach from workbooks? And can it be used alone?
I have been homeschooling 2 years and in addition to physical workbooks I use online workbooks such as CK12 for middle school science and IXL online practice program in social studies, math, ela, and social studies. I am curious what you think about these online programs. Also do you think Khan Academy does a good job covering science and math standards for younger grades and middle school. I’d love it if you did a video review of these programs.
❤ love it ! Thank you
Hi whats the best all in one for 5th grade??? Thank you!!
How do you make up your own lessons ?
Hi! I want to use the Brain Quest book for my homeschoolers. I hear great things about it. It will be our first school year. But others have said I will need to supplement with that book. How would that work. Just do work that correlates with the page they are working on?
I want to homeschool my son. I need help on the curriculum for high school. All videos are for young children. Can someone pls help me with homeschooling an older kid. Any information will be greatly appreciated:)
I’m sorry, elementary Ed. is where my experience is.
