• Look for the 1st Edition
  This is an excellent guide that EVERY homeschooler should have. HOWEVER, the 1999 edition has better resource lists in it, because it was written before Bauer and Wise began publishing their own Language and History books. I checked out the 1st edition from the library and LOVED it. I was a bit disappointed to get the 2nd edition (2004). I don't like the fact that they now recommend their own books, and don't recommend much else that would compete with their own series in these subject areas.

• The Well Trained Mind
  This book helped motivate me and give me the resources to feel confident about homeschooling my daughter. I would highly recommend it.

• A Must-Read for Anyone Considering Home-Schooling
  "The Well-Trained Mind" has been a very informative read and strikes true with many of my own ideals about what a good education should be. The resource lists are amazing and those alone should be enough for anyone to by this wonderful reference material. The authors are very honest about how much effort and energy are required for home-schooling, but by the end of the book the reader is left feeling as though they could take on the world.

• An Excellent Resource For Parents
  Joanne Scaglione, author:
  The Big Squeal: A Wild, True, and Twisted Tail and teaching guide;
  Bully-Proofing Children: A Practical, Hands-On Guide to Stop Bullying;
  Living The Secret Everyday: My Secret Workbook
  This is a must-have tool for any parent of a homeschooler or for that matter of any school-age student. Filled with great information on curriculum and strategies; I recommend it very highly.
