"The Home School Source Book" by Donn and Jean Reed- lists and ideas and resources for learning - awesome book
Rebecca Rupp's books "Good stuff" - learning ideas and projects - great for unschoolers or those looking for resources on a certain topic "the complete home learning sourcebook" (similar to goodstuf but homeschool related) "home learning year by year"

I've posted this on this board and another, but I thought I'd do it here - about the 50 states. Highly recommended, even has homeschooling info in each state:

I have so many favorites, but these are my most used:
The method we use: http://www.enkieducation.org/html/ho...curriculum.htm http://groups.yahoo.com/group/EnkiExperience/ As a Friend, I'm finding their children's section helpful for resources in the area of faith and practice: http://www.quakerbooks.org/ This book really sealed the deal for me on deciding to homeschool (you can read it online): http://www.johntaylorgatto.com/underground/index.htm |

A must read book. Seriously this mom breastfeeding a babe, run after toddlers and homeschool at least 5+ of her 10 children while managing a household so can you. She also gives great scripture to help strengthen and encourage you on your journey. I seriously think its the best book I ever read. This is the story of the Wife of the Man who started HSLDA. Written by her and her daughter.

Best resources for my girls learning to read I ever bought was http://www.jollylearning.co.uk/ videos & resources and followed the method for http://www.phonicsinternational.com/ (synthetic phonics).
For a 6 year old who just did not want to read, she excelled in this program and found it a lot of fun - highly recommend it. (It made my job a lot easier). |

I like any of the books by Raymond Moore. Home Grown Kids, Better Late than Never are a couple of the titles.
