Family Learning: How to Help Your Children Succeed in School by Learning at Home

Rating:
Summary: An Outstanding Resource
Review: There IS a difference between learning and schooling, and every chapter in Family Learning will convince you that we are surrounded by interesting and amazing things that families can explore together. Common, everyday words and experiences become catalysts for rediscovering the joy of learning. The book is chock-full of tidbits that will cause you to interrupt the person next to you and say, "Did you know this?"

I have used this book extensively in homeschooling my two kids, but I think any family could benefit from the clear explanations(especially in the science and math chapters), hands-on learning activities, and useful family resources included throughout the book. It is a curriculum in itself!
