This book is a fantastic introduction to homeschooling. Reading it really makes you feel that homeschooling is achievable and that YOU can do it. It covers everything you need to know to begin homeschooling, with lots of personal information from families who are successfully educating their children. It is a great confidence builder for those wishing to try homeschooling. Of course, as it covers so much information, you will need other resources to enter into topics in more depth; included at the end of each chapter are resource guides for books, curriculum materials and Internet.
this is an invaluable resource to any homeschooling library and a great guide to anyone who is thinking about homeschooling their children.
When we first began our homeschooling journey we just wanted to know how other families were doing it and this book is a wonderful collaberation of helpful hits and amuzing stories of mothers,fathers and their children
