One item that has helped our homeschool is the erasable pen. Last year I heard a lecture by Andrew Pudewa <\/a>, on how to get reluctant little boys to write. One of the most valuable things I learned was that pencils can make it difficult for children to write. He explained that pencils change as you write with them. You might start writing with a fine tipped, sharpened pencil, but by the end of the paragraph you have a dull, smudgy pencil. This change can frustrate many children as well as cause them to get up from their seat 100 times to sharpen their pencils.<\/p>\n

We solved this problem in our house by purchasing erasable pens<\/a>\"\". These pens cost about $12 for two dozen on Amazon, although I am sure you can find them cheaper at your local store. The pen<\/a> last for several months and they erase well.<\/p>\n

When your child uses a pen, the force they exert to make marks on the paper is very consistent, unlike with a pencil. I chose\u00a0erasable pens<\/a> because my kids do not like to make mistakes or scratch things out. With my younger children (who don’t care about those things) we use washable markers.<\/p>\n
