This was a great book for me to read after 2-ish year into the journey of homeschool - it probably would have been even better when I was brand new trying to figure out what I ought to be doing!

Lots of detailed, practical advice, as well as book and curriculum suggestions (as well as some opinions). I especially loved the advice on teaching writing, as it’s the area I am least confident of my ability to teach.

I heartily recommend this book to new homeschoolers, or to those who need another perspective on the process.

This book is extremely informative and helpful for anyone who is considering home schooling their children. It's good for any parents who want to try home schooling short term, long term, or even just help after school. It gives very helpful ideas that are easy to follow and understand. It has excellent suggestions on teaching tactics, how to learn, subject area help and how to figure out the best curriculum for a child in different learning situations. It's best for children in grades kindergarten through 8th grade, ages 4-14. An excellent resource.
