Homeschool Books

When I posted a quote from a Homeschooling Book recently I had a lot of requests for books on Homeschooling that I have read. I am clearly no expert in the area of homeschooling and I am sure there are others who could give better recommendations but since several of you asked here they are:



General Homeschooling Books:

The Well Trained Mind by Susan Wise Bauer and Jesse Wise

For the Children's Sake by Susan Schaeffer Macaulay

Educating the Whole Hearted Child by Clay and Sally Clarkson

The Spiritual Power of a Mother by Michael Farris

The Ultimate Guide to Homeschooling by Debra Bell

The Charlotte Mason Companion by Karen Andreola (just got- haven't yet read)

For the Family's Sake by Susan Schaeffer Macaulay (just got- haven't yet read)



Homeschooling Websites:

Trivium Pursuit-scroll down and you can download several audio messages:

The Seven Undeniable Truths of Homeschooling

A Less Hurried Approach to Homeschooling

Ambleside Online- a Charlotte Mason Website has some good articles



Specific on Reading (not just homeschooling)

The Ordinary Parent's Guide to Teaching Reading by Jesse Wise

Phonics that Work by Janiel Wagstaff



Parenting Books (there are links to all of these on my sidebar):

Shepherding a Child's Heart

Don't Make Me Count to Three

Hints on Child Training

Everyday Talk

There are lots others but these are the 4 I tend to go back to over and over.
