E-Booklets
The e-booklets have been written for you by an experienced homeschooler and teacher. They are designed for homeschoolers to use in their homes with their children and for small sized classes in school. They are easy to use and practical, with minimal preparation needed before teaching the lessons. The prices are in New Zealand dollars, which means they are less expensive when converted to US dollars.
There are five e-booklets in the ’store’ so far. I wrote these as an experiment, with the idea that if they were successful I would write more.
They have been so successful that I am happy to announce that there will be more coming soon.
I want to offer you what you are looking for, so please do tell me if there is something you would like to see here. Suggestions@thebroadroom.co.nz

Wise Learners
A Bible Study for Homeschoolers (7 – 14 year olds)
Written by Stephanie Walmsley
Homeschooling is always more successful when the children are motivated to learn and when they are cooperating. And I have found it helpful to spend time with the children looking at what God has to say about learning and teaching.
This bible study is a marvellous opportunity to look at learning from God’s view and to encourage your children in their learning adventure.
To complement the study, you have detailed instructions for making a book containing the Bible verses that you will have looked at. Making the book can help your children to consolidate the ideas and truths about learning and teaching.
This study is in two parts. Part One has a Bible study on learning. Part Two has detailed instructions with photographs for making the book.
Unsolicited Review: Hi Stephanie – tomorrow my younger two children and I will finish up our study on Wise Learners. Thank you so much for this ebook. We have all learnt much along the way and the children have enjoyed their homemade books and are very proud of them. I highly recommend this study for all families. Thanks again! Suzy
