| Jyotsna's Comments: And The Skylark Sings With Me, David Albert *** This is a great and inspiring book. If you are just getting into homeschooling, read this book for inspiring advice about using your communities resouces in the process of homeschool. One point driven home by the author is that we don't know it all. Our children will be educated in a broader sense when the adults in their lives share all they know. Don't be overwhelmed but his daughters who are obviously musically talented. Not all of us will possess their abilities, but it gives you an idea of how a child can take an interest and explore it on a large scale. The Unschooling Handbook, Mary Griffith **** Obviously your unschooled child doesn't NEED a handbook. However, for those parents who are just getting into unschooling, and letting go of preconcieved notions regarding educating our children, this book guides parents in facilitating their children in how they need to learn. Also, a couple of neat aspects about this book: interviews with kids, a birds eye view into four seperate unschooling families to see how they homeschool, what activites they do, and how they keep records. Famous Homeschoolers, Nancy & Malcom Plent ** A look at some famous people who were homeschooled, and why they did not go down the conventional schooling path. Homeschooling: A Patchwork of Days, Nancy Lunde **** Thirty families share a day in the life of homeschooling, including daily living such as caring for the home, preparing the food ect. |

| Shelly's Comments: The Ready-To-Read, Ready-To-Count Handbook, Teresa Savage I used this before I even began homeschooling or thought I was. I wanted to give my daughter an edge on learning and make it fun and inviting for when she did go to school. This book has lots of fun things to do with little ones ages 4-5 years old to get them reading. You might even try this with a 3 year old who is interested in letters and numbers. The games were fun and I found my kids didn't know when I was teaching and when we were playing. Learning All The Time, John Holt My husband actually bought me this book. He had read about Hold and his idea that kids learn beat on their own and are naturally curious about the world around them. I was having a rough time thinking I was not doing well with the children and this book really lifted my spirits and showed me to trust that my children will blossom in their own time and that they are learning all the time. The Complete Home Learning Source Book, Rebecca Rupp I think this is the best investment any homeschooling parent can make. I stayed away from this book because of the price (over $25) but when I did buy it I was sorry I had not bought it soon. I use this huge book weekly if not daily. It is filled with ideas of how and where and what to teach. Resources go by subject and give things from books, games, computer games, activities and online sites for the subject of interest/ I have found this book a must have in our hourse for when someone wants to study something I may not know where to go looking for into on. The author also gives you a look at how her kids studied the subjects listed in a diary from. This book has given me much inspiration as well as saved me so much time planning out a unit study. |
