prairiewindmomma Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Every Christmas I treat myself to a book or two to help myself improve in my understanding of an area of knowledge or to help myself improve in my ability to teach my children..... Does anyone have any good recommendations? I'm just (finally) finishing up Knowing and Teaching Mathematics by Liping Ma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kareni Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 (edited) Marva Collins' Way by Marva Collins is an inspiring and enjoyable read. A couple of older threads with more suggestions: I'm reading Weapons of Mass Instruction ... Book Rec's for homeschooling moms!

Negin Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Not a homeschooling book, but a wonderful book nonetheless, which I need to read again. This was our read-aloud a few years ago. We all enjoyed it. I'd like to read it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
