I have an older edition but the content is still so relevent (ok, maybe not the parts mentioning VHS tapes, kids wanting to watch “Family Ties” and “The Cosby Show” instead of reading, and saving up $500 for a set of Encyclopedias) but the drive-home point of how important reading aloud is to children. This book gets me fired up to add even more books to our reading list AND to find more times throughout our day for book time.

I really enjoyed Last Child in the Woods too. It reminded me why I love having woods behind our home and allowing our children ample time to get outside and explore!

A person to figure out a whole lot somewhere around this specific, such as you published this guide in it or something like that. I find myself that you might utilize many pct to force the solution home a little, having said that in lieu of in which, this is exceptional blog site. An excellent study.

He is a public school teacher and honestly I have yet to read anything that has inspired me so much or given me more ideas for activities for starting homeschooling this fall.

Absolutely. The Well-Trained Mind is the only one aimed specifically at homeschooling parents (and it’s funny–I read that before we had kids, and before we even DREAMED of homeschooling!)

#3 and #4 above aren’t even aimed at parents at all!

This year I added “The Waldorf Homeschool Handbook”. I created our curriculum this year (only purchased the math block) and these were great. Oh yes, I would like to add “Simplicity Parenting” by Kim John Payne.
