The LINK - This is a FREE publication to home
schoolers and contains lots of informative articles. They
aren't reliable in terms of mailings; but you can glean lots of
information and their current issues online at their site.
Note: I have had a difficult time getting on their mailing
list. I've submitted my info 4 times and still no response.
I read it at our local library - when the LINK remembers to
send them an issue!

| Below is a list of books that I have found extremely helpful in learning more about homeschooling, the various homeschooling philosophies, and how to homeschool in a relaxed environment. I like homeschooling books that cut to the chase without alot of fluff. These do just that. While I have provided links to the home sites where possible, you may also wish to check out Amazon.com |
The Successful Homeschool Family Handbook by Dr. Raymond and
Dorothy Moore - a must-have for anyone homeschooling. Lots of helps and
information on choosing a curriculum, avoiding burnout, motivating children,
understanding your child's learning style, etc. Definitely an essential! By far my favorite
homeschooling reference book.
Teach Your Own by John Holt - Another great book writtin by a former public
school teacher. Lots of great homeschooling encouragement.
Educating the Whole-Hearted Child by Whole Heart Ministries - a fantastic
book for helping to understand the different homeschooling philosophies out there today.
For the Children's Sake by Susan Schaeffer Macaulay - encouragement in helping
you provide an education that is a wonderful, life-enriching, joyous experience for all.
And for those of you interested in the Charlotte Mason approach to
education, I highly recommend you read these books. You can also view
the Cliff Notes I made from reading these 3 books.
A Charlotte Mason Companion - Personal Reflections of the Gentle Art of
Learning by Karen Andreola - great reference guide for the Charlotte Mason methodology
of education children.
More Charlotte Mason Education by Catherine Levison - helps teach parents
how to instruct their children at home in a nurturing, loving, and relaxed environment.
One of my favorite books.

quotes, guidance, and study information.
