[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-01-17 Summary: A very User Friendly Latin book ... I used this with my 2 boys when they were in 3rd and 4th grades, We purchased the CD but did not purchase the teachers manual. I think that we were very successful finishing the book in a timely manner. We worked on 1 lesson per week in one sitting and the boys studied their work 2-3 x per week by listening to the CD while looking over the book. One does not need to have any prior knowledge in Latin to direct this course. ...more

Home Learning Year by Year: How to Design a Homeschool Curriculum from Preschool Through High School
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-07-22 Summary: Great Source of Info! ... As a homeschooler, I felt I need a book to help guide me to make sure I wasn't leaving anything out of my kids education. This book covers a lot for each grade level. It's a great source of guidance and referrences. But, just because the book SAYS your child should know a certain thing by a certain grade, doesn't mean you HAVE to teach that. Overall, I like the book and continue to use it for reference but I don't live by it. ...more

There are several out of print books that are recommended as well as websites that are not available. It also has some very good information in the appendixes. Overall, I would recommend this book as a great tool. ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-05-24 Summary: Great for Frugal Homeschooling! ... The main reason that I bought this book was that I am moving more and more toward the mindset of frugal homeschooling. However, using a library can be daunting, when one is not sure which skills and content areas need to be taught. However, with this book and a library card, you can pretty much teach your child for free. She does recommend math programs, but the ones she recommends range from 10.00 per year to expensive 110.00 programs. I believe she has made an excellent balance of skills that need to be covered, ...more
