As part of Tactile Learning Week, we invite you to take a look back into the Guilt-Free Homeschooling archives. The gem we have selected as a supplement to this week’s focus is Tactile Lessons from Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan, for its profound insight into the world of teaching a child who could neither see nor hear. While few of us will have the significant challenge of teaching a child with that particular combination of disabilities, we can glean a great deal from the methods Miss Sullivan used in teaching young Helen and apply that knowledge to teaching our own tactile learners. Enjoy!

Guilt-Free Homeschooling is the creation of Carolyn Morrison and her daughter, Jennifer Leonhard. After serious disappointments with public school, Carolyn spent the next 11 years homeschooling her two children, from elementary to high school graduation and college admission. Refusing to force new homeschooling families to re-invent the wheel, Carolyn and Jennifer now share their encouragement, support, tips, and tricks, filling their blog with "all the answers we were looking for as a new-to-homeschooling family" and making this website a valuable resource for parents, not just a daily journal.
