Hey there Reader, In our latest live stream, I sat down with my middle child (15-year-old Malakai) to discuss what homeschooling has been like from his perspective. It inspired me to write down some of my thoughts about homeschooling high school and my four biggest takeaways. You can catch the live replay below or read the blog post on our new Gather 'Round blog!
New Designs LIVE!We have completely redesigned our Letters and Numbers mini books into a full size, full watercolor, comic-book style alphabet book (magazine style). We also redid our Ready to Read books to go along with this. We're working on our chapter book for Ready to Read 4 and will offer those as a bundle when it is complete as well. Check out the new designs below and click on the link to see some sneak peeks of the inside pages.
The Gather 'Round ShowWe are excited to announce the new Gather 'Round show every Tuesday at 2 PM EST on Facebook and our app, covering everything from Gather Round updates to homeschool encouragement. This week, we're talking about motivation: how to find it when it's lost and how to manufacture it when it is dead in the water. Add it to your calendar or click here to reserve your spot for the live event. For those of you who find video formats challenging, we're working on converting these sessions into podcast episodes you can listen to anywhere! These will be a part of our Gather 'Round with Rebecca Spooner podcast available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. The 2025 Establish ConferenceDid you hear? We are putting together an online conference with worship, a preview of our new math program, and encouraging sessions for the whole family.

We enjoyed some much-needed rest at our house and my parents got creative with a reel they watched and "became" the Easter egg hunt!

Hey there! There's a lot going on behind the scenes here at Gather 'Round and we've got some exciting news in the works. We've got a new app! We've been working on a new app. Right now it's called "Gather 'Round Community" as I can't have two apps with the same name. Once we get the word out, we'll be removing our old app by April 30th and changing the name of this new one to be the same so that it is easy to find. The good news . . . you still get free access to all the same great resources...
