Eclectic Style Homeschooling

I have mentioned both the Charlotte Mason and Classical methods of homeschooling. Neither is the method that I use. What I do use is sometimes called eclectic homeschooling.
I do not follow a prescribed method of educating my daughter because she learns different subjects differently. It would not make sense to teach my daughter through the use of workbooks and textbooks in every subject.
She zips ahead in her science lessons. She would finish science first, if I allowed her to do science to the exclusion of other subjects. Because she loves it, and is willing to work independently in science she could and would finish two school grades worth of science each school year.
On the other hand, she is not a great speller, and she is a reluctant writer. I have to push her on a constant basis to keep her on grade level. Because of this, teaching science, and spelling using the same curriculum, or the same method would not produce equally good results.
So, as an eclectic homeschooler, I pick and choose from many different methods as I see fit, to provide my daughter with the best education I can. This doesn’t mean that this method would work for all homeschoolers, but it definitely works for my daughter. Flexibility in homeschooling is a great thing!
