~Kirsten~ Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Hands down, for me, is The Well-Trained Mind, any edition you can get. :001_smile: Have a great trip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSMom2One Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Hands down, for me, is The Well-Trained Mind, any edition you can get. :001_smile: Have a great trip! I'll second that one. By far, TWTM is the best HS resource book anyone could find!!! I've never found such a great book about the subject. It is comprehensive and complete, well written and easily understood, informative and even inspirational. (BTW, I think its utterly amazing that we are here on the TWTM website and are allowed to discuss any curriculum we choose. Don't you?)

Imprimis Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I have purchased all three editions of TWTM, and can honestly say it was money well-spent. TWTM has given me, imo, the best information, and the most inspiration , of any homeschool how-to book I have ever read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitestavern Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Can you get it via Inter Library Loan? We have a horrible library and I get almost all my books via ILL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I just posted some titles in another thread. See here. Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggieamy Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Right now I'm reading Help for the Harried Homeschooler. I'm obviously very new to all this but I'm enjoying it. A very easy, kinda fun read. However, I also have TWTM checked out from the library and am planning to read it next. Just from skimming it the day I got it from the library - I think I'll end up buying it. Looks awesome! I don't buy many books anymore because I'm a Dave Ramsey fan and used to spend oodles of money on books so it has to be a really fantastic book for me to even consider buying it!

LisaS Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Since The Well Trained mind is not available, I vote for 100 Top Picks for Homeschool Curriculum by Cathy Duffy. Don't let the title fool you. Even if you already have a curriculum you like and are using, there is a wealth of helpful information in here. If that isn't available either, just go to the library and see what you can find. There are a plethora of books out there, you may just have to sift through a few. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
