Then you can make an informed decision in choosing the right educational curriculum for the child. This is the formula for success.
In 100 Top Picks for Homeschool Curriculum, homeschool guru Cathy Duffy can help you accomplish these critical tasks. Cathy will give you her top choices from every subject area, approaching everything through a Christian worldview perspective. This book is a critical volume for the homeschooling community.
I found this one in my local library system. As AppleBlossom’s first birthday is right around the corner I have been thinking about the future a lot. One thing in serious consideration is homeschooling. My first choice is a Classical Christian School like I substitute taught at in Georgia. But considering the tuition, and our projected budget, it would be more realistic to homeschool with Classical Christian elements. Being at the beginning of research, this is the perfect book for people like me. Cathy Duffy really gives a great overview over different types of homeschool curriculum and learning styles. She goes into just the right amount of depth for a person to find something to go with and adjust themselves to the appropriate system for their situation along the way. I recommend this book for anyone thinking about homeschooling or even some that already are just to get another insight.

Margaret, that’s what we’re trying to do classical Christian…although I think it will be more “classical” as she gets older (5 is a bit young for Greek and Latin
. I’m still hoping to read this one. BTW, if you do decide to go the Classical route I highly recommend Susan Wise Bauer’s books
.
Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll have to look that name up.
