Table of Contents
Go to Apologia Educational Ministries for further information of this book.This homeschool resource one of the 100 Top Picks for Home school Curriculum by author Cathy Duffy and has a foreword by Michael Farris, Founder of the HSLDA foundation. –So, you know it’s a reliable source.
As Michal Farris states in his foreword, I too, believe that this resource is for the veteran homeschooler and an excellent resource guide for the new or contemplating homeschool families.
The Ultimate Guide to Homeschooling has suggested readings, websites, voices from experiences, buying and resource guide, and “bell files” (which are actually examples of real-life situations).
Chapter 30 was a good read for me, Transitioning from School to Home. “The largest growth in the homeschool ranks is coming from families withdrawing children from a public or private school.” YEP, we fit into this category also.
This book is on of the 100 Top Picks for HomeSchool Curriculum by Cathy Duffy. And has a foreword by Michael Farris, Founder of the HSLDA foundation. –So, you know it’s a reliable source. This much valuable information in one book, for $20.00—I’d say it’s a good deal. What is great is that you can read this book cover-to-cover or select by topic (e.g. Part 2: Choosing a Curriculum or like Part 4: Preventing Burnout).
Resource guide alone is superb! For the price and the information listed in the book, the price of $20.00 USD is worth it to me.
