I finished reading two wonderful homeschooling books that I would eagerly recommend to other home educators as they were recommended to me.
The first book is 100 Top Picks For Homeschool Curriculum: Choosing The Right Curriculum And Approach For Your Child's Learning Style
This is an excellent reference guide for all home educators. I discovered quite a few wonderful programs and curriculum ideas from this book. The author, Cathy Duffy, gives detailed reviews of her recommendations. She also includes a wonderful chart which rates the curriculum based on things like learning style, teaching style, prep time, amount of writing, religion, and much more. The author also has an associated website which posts reviews, updates, and articles related to homeschooling.
The other book is The Well-Trained Mind: A Guide to Classical Education at Home
This is an essential book for anyone interested in classical education. The book includes fantastic recommendations for reasonably priced, well-designed homeschool curriculum, too. The book not only includes very helpful reviews of specific curriculum, but it also explains the concept of classical education, and includes recommendations for each stage of the trivium. I also appreciate the fact that the book includes contact information for the various publishers mentioned in the book. This book also has a very helpful companion website.
Please let me know what you think of these. I would really appreciate hearing your recommendations of great homeschooling books and websites.

Have you Read Teaching The Trivium? It is a very doable approach and makes a lot of sense.
No, I have not read this book yet, but I hear that it received high praise. I will look for it. Thank you!
