The Well Trained Mind A Guide to Classical Education at Home Third Editition
>> Best Homeschooling Resource I ve found so far
I read this book in about 5 days in bits pieces while my kids were playing napping and doing school It s that good I sat down with my highlighter went to town There is so much information in this book that you can t do it all but the author recognizes that We ve been homeschooling for 1 year and I feel so much more prepared confident approaching our second year now that I have read WTM Especially useful for us are the curriculum recommendations reviews
>> The How To Guide for Classical Home Education
To be honest I came across this book by total curiosity I saw our pastor s wife carrying it with her to and from church so I asked her what it was After she showed it to me I decided to check out the library copy to read for myself Since I had attended an accelerated public school which taught classical education I was curious as to what it would look like in the home setting
The Well Trained Mind is authored by former public school teacher and homeschooling mother Jessie Wise with additional commentary from daughter Susan Wise Bauer The book begins with Jessie telling her own story of how she home educated her three children in the early 1970 s when homeschooling was virtually unheard of Susan adds her own commentary by giving the reader a personal look at classical education From there the book is divided into the three components of classical education Grammar Stage Kindergarten Grade 4 Logic Stage Grades 5 8 and Rhetoric Stage Grades 9 12 The book ends with the chapter on How to Home Educate Your Child and appendices The Well Trained Mind is an excellant non sectarian resource for those who would like to learn more about home education with a classical emphasis
>> A Wonderful Read No Matter what you choose
This was a wonderful read It enlightened me to a lot and it doesn t matter if you just want to enhance your child s public/group learning or homeschool I don t do everything in this book and I regret not just following what they suggested because I just revert back to the style My son in 3 months has grown tremendously and I have also seen a boy that could barely read read novels in 3 months It is my reference book and a must have for any home library IF you really are not sure about this book you can check out the previous edition on google books and trust me you will come right back to amazon com and purchase this title
