 A must have for anyone beginning to homeschool.Jun 17, 1999
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.

Great Starting PlaceApr 05, 2000
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.

Wonderful BookAug 21, 2003
By Elizabeth Norris
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.

 Good intro book or if you have to submit somethingNov 25, 2002
This was a good intro book or if you are required to submit something, but a lot of it seems to be common sense. For exmaple, she talks about figuring our your educational goals and subjects you want to teach your child. If you are required to submit something formally, the questionaires can help to make sure you don't forget something that may be required. I was looking for a book that would explain a specific lesson plan for teaching a specific topic. Some people gave it 5 stars, because they liked the breakdown of education topics, but this can be found on-line at World Book Encylopedia's web site or in the books series "What your XX grader needs to know". It is alot more detailed and includes actual lessons. I would give it 5 stars for what it contains, but it was not what I was looking for.
