Alte Veste Academy Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Aside from The Well-Trained Mind, which should be a given...and aside from all my Charlotte Mason resources... Living books for all subjects. Really, just books. Wonderful books. The Complete Home Learning Source Book, my all-time favorite book about homeschooling. Nurturing Inquiry Social Studies That Sticks My own knowledge of my own children, my own imagination, and an insatiable curiosity. Seriously. Because sometimes you have to step away from everyone else's resource suggestions and think only of yourself and your children. My favorite resources are books written by teachers for teachers. Generally speaking, the best of the best are writing those books. It has helped me immeasurably to seek out subject matter knowledge from subject matter experts who have had years of experience working with children.
