The Seven Keys Re-Boot

THE 7 KEYS RE-BOOT (PDF ebook) by Oliver & Rachel DeMille

This is an EXCELLENT ebook is based on the authors’ “A Thomas Jefferson Education” books for helping your students when they face learning challenges. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

From the introduction:

Read the 7 Keys Re-Boot each time you or your student faces a learning challenge. Read with your student and her current learning challenge specifically in mind. Write your thoughts and ideas that come as you read, and then apply them.

The 7 Keys Re-Boot is one of the most powerful things a mentor can do to help his students. The 7 Keys are the basis of all leadership education and the core principles of any great education. This process is profound, yet simple.

As a mentor re-reads the basic concepts of The 7 Keys with a specific mentee and her current learning challenges in mind, the magic occurs. This is great student whispering. It is the crux of great mentoring.

Our Wonderful World by Emery Lewis Howe is a rich nature study book available for free download covering backyard neighbors, feathered friends, garden life, four-footed comrades, and the earth and its neighbors.

Written for young children, this treasure includes experiments, related Scripture verses, and activities such as drawing, narrating, and writing.

By covering one chapter each week, there are 32 weeks worth of lessons (not including this introduction).  We’ve added suggestions, helps for Mom, and resource recommendations that can round out the studies for older students.

By adding a weekly lab, and more related, comprehensive readings (such as a biology text), you may find you have enough material to qualify as a biology credit for an older student.

For the youngest children, simply reading the book may be enough.  You know your children best, but don’t overwhelm them.  Have fun!
