Book Reviews of Designing Your Own Classical Curriculum: A Guide to Catholic Home Education
Book Review: An easy to follow guide with an extensive list of resources
Summary: 5 Stars
After making the decision to homeschool my children, it was time to decide WHAT to teach my children and what MATERIALS to use. I found myself adrift in a sea of glossy textbook catalogs and contradicting recommendations from other homeschooling parents. Then Ms. Berquist's simplistic title caught my eye. She offers a method of teaching that makes perfect sense to me, and she breaks down the formidable task of home education into grade-by-grade, subject-by-subject guidelines.
In addition, she has compiled an impressive list of educational resources. As I read, I found myself flipping back to the list of suppliers to make yet another note of a "must-have" book. An added bonus is that I feel confident that her recommendations are "Catholic-friendly," since many homeschool suppliers offer Christian materials that are biased against or not in accord with Catholic teaching.
Her book is the perfect tool for someone like me, who wants to home educate but doesn't know how or where to start.
