Homeschooling Illinois - Legislation and Learning (HILL)

This is a place to come together and work towards keeping Illinois one of the best homeschool states in the nation. All grassroot efforts need a way to communicate to be effective and we hope to use this forum to keep in touch with other homeschoolers and our legislators here in the State of Illinois. We will follow both Federal and State Legislation and attempt to make an impact. To receive alert emails please email homeschoolillinois [at] insightbb [dot] com

Spelling Bee

Congratulations to Anurag Kashyah! He's not a homeschooler, but he spelled a whopper (appoggiatura!) to win.
Looking at the stats this year, there were at least 34 homeschoolers in the Nationals. Very cool!
Hadn't checked the spelling bee site out before, but they have some pretty handy spelling tips on a weekly basis. Looks like it concentrates on root words quite a bit.
