Tutorial Software

Being a bit of a computer nerd I was really into designing software, especially for Home Schooling. Tutorials came in 3 versions. Each was better than the last and changed for our home use. This software was never sold, we only used it ourselves at home.

I include it here as a resource because of its use to us and showing you that whatever your hobbies or employment are you too can use it to help out with the Home Schooling of your own children.

We were often given free books or we would get heap second hand books from second-hand stores or fro the local library when it had its sales.

I would find a chapter, get the child to read it, and then test the child using the Tutorial software on that chapter. It was intended to be fun and at the end there would be a print out abut how well the child did and it gave me an indication of ho much was learned and what could possibly be reread if needed.

One thing that I had to be sure of was my own spelling so as not to put the child off or cause the child to make a mistake.

I would read the entire chapter first, then write in the questions in the Tutorials software and then add the answers, which was all password protected so only I had access to the answers. A lot of the chapters read were from the Billy and Barbara books. A family series of books that were about the parents teaching education to their children. These tests were to test spelling, memory retention, comprehension and more. After each exam and chapter we would talk about the subjects as well. All had photos and were exciting for the children. This is just one of the software programs I wrote for Home Schooling.

Some examples below.
