You don't need to ask kids to memorize tips or tricks like one I saw today:
"We sing “m a n y many, if you know many, then you know any”
when you study function words together in a meaningful way.
"A," and "an" both have a sense of " 1 "
"any" has a sense of "at least one"
"many" has a sense of more than one

A little client of mine shared a trick she learned from a tutor.

"w.o.u.lucky dog"

She was worried she would need a trick for every word!

She was very relieved when we noticed the pattern and the spelling made sense.

See the pattern?
These words travel in pairs.
The in < should> isn’t random, it connects it to < shall>
The < l > in < would > connects it to the < l > in < will>
They’re all part of the same modal family.
Then "could" came along, what I call a "copy-cat word."
It does the same kind of job as < should > and , so it borrowed their spelling to fit the pattern.
Spelling keeps track of meaning, family, and function - not just sound.
That’s why English is logical when we study it through Structured Word Inquiry.

Universities are charging $3,000+ for Pearson prepackaged “courses” where no one actually teaches.

Students log in, watch videos, and complete error-filled math problems alone.

No instruction. No feedback. No learning.
Just a corporate portal and a facilitator who can’t help.

If this is “innovation,” higher ed has lost its soul.

Be sure the university you are sending your children to isn't ripping you off. It seems homeschooling is going to have to extend into higher education.
