Daily Skill Building is owned and operated by The Independent Easel, Inc. Our team consists of authors, marketers, graphic designers, and educators, most of which are homeschool moms. 

Daily Skill Building was started to fill a need for busy homeschool moms that didn’t have time to do a ton of prep-work or follow along in big teacher’s guides.

The original Daily Skill Building Series was created to an be easy-to-use, open and go resource that encouraged independent study. Along the way we created Notebook Companions to be used alongside favorite books for students who thrived in their learning through written narration and journaling.

All Daily Skill Building Notebook Companions can be used successfully in a Christian homeschool without compromising your faith. Whenever Daily Skill Building offers a Notebook Companion™ for a secular book, we carefully review the content and include a note for parents highlighting sections of the book you may want to skip. This way you can make your own determination as to whether or not to include them.

When determining if our Daily Skill Building Notebook Companions will work in a secular homeschool, please know that we do not add any faith-based additions or topics to our Notebook Companions. Some Notebook Companions are written to accompany a Christian resource, and as such will be noted.
