  This is why I worded my question in a specific way, my challenges getting them to read are absolutely a parenting issue as opposed to an education one.

  I don’t yell at my kids, but they seem conditioned to only respond to being yelled at. getting them to do things they aren’t inclined to takes a lot of effort on my part and being consistent in that effort while working full time, cooking ,shopping and driving them to activities is more than I have managed so far. I have read how important consistently is but just have not achieved it yet.

  Wrapping back around to the ‘class’ idea I was going to take them to the library for each lesson to set the environment for learning.

  I’m not on Reddit, but I might try it out to see if it helps.

  Thanks for sharing your experience. I have mixed experience with workbooks, do you have a recommendation?

  I have have not had luck getting my kids to read consistently.

  I have done outings and when they were younger I was able to get some education value out of them. As they have gotten older I don’t have as much to offer them. It’s fun, but not really much learning for them

  Thanks for the gatherround suggestion. Secular is not a problem.

  I’m specifically looking to create a short course on how to learn, focusing on evidence based learning h study techniques; spaced repetition , the ebbinghaus curve and active recall.

  I’ve already been using these techniques with them, though without formal introductions, I’m looking now for them to formally think about studying as the task as opposed to a sub task,

  I’ve got an idea of making the lessons 3x - week they would be layered with the first 15 minutes being the whole lesson for the younger kid and half the lesson for the older one. The second half would be the same concepts as the first with more depth.

  The whole ‘ course ‘ would be 4 weeks But man oh man actually making a lesson for that much stuff, plus activities to reinforce it at appropriate levels is daunting,

  Yes. I’m apparently a fool for not going along with it.

  It’s vigorously supported.

  Hell yea! Gotta go big to get a real effect. Put the filters in rooms that are 1/2 or less the rates size .

  I have Honeywell filters in each bedroom . So much less dust. the pre filters catch most of the dust and they can be cleaned and reused.
