How to Write a Low-Cost/No-Cost Curriculum for Your Home-School Child

This is the book I've been looking for! It's incredably detailed, takes you through all the steps of creating a curriculum that reflects you and your values (not necessarily religious), and gives you a list of what subjects your students should know by when. If you ever find yourself in legal trouble, if you followed the easy advice of the author, you should have No trouble standing up in court and proving that you are an able teacher with a child who is learning and is probably above standard. The book may seem basic, but have you really ever put serious thought into what you want your child to get out of education? Do you want them to be ready for life, ready for college, ready for love? This book makes you think everything through, write it down, make it concrete, not just a vague thought in your mind only. So far this has been the most helpful book I've come across in my research of homeschooling. I will definately write my own curriculum when the time comes, and I won't be overwhelmed by it, thanks to this book.

This was the very first book we read when we first decided to home school. This book helped give us the confidence to go on and do the research we needed to do for how we wanted to school our child. I strongly recommend it for anyone starting out.

This book gives a detailed description of what you should be teaching your children at the different ages, stages, and grades. The state requirements are not very well explained by the state, but this book tells you what your child should be learning enabling you to fulfill the state requirements and giving your child a very well rounded sound education.

This book gives you valuable information on how to create a low cost curriculum. It has been a wonderful tool through the past 3 years. I keep going back to this book for information! A must have for any beginning home schooling mom!
