Finding this book came at the most perfect time for us. This book gives you models, explanations and examples to help parents know how to teach their children at home or in a home environment. I really loved it. It breaks down each subject that you will be teaching for these grades ( 4-8 ) and speaks to us in terms we can understand and answers questions many of us might struggle with when it comes to teaching our children. A must read for any home school parent who has children at this age lev...more
This was a good book but a little too detailed for me just starting out. Very practical though. I'll probably read it again when my children are older. Two ideas I really liked: teaching from books, not textbooks and workbooks, when possible; and using the bible as the core of your teaching: for literature, history, math (of course, supplementing with other books as necessary, but beginning with God's word).
Common-sense, practical advice from a veteran teacher. A book to return to again and again as you move through various phases of learning with your home taught children. Using Beechick's methods, you need only a library card and a will to do.
I love reading Ruth Beechick's wonderful insights on education. Very freeing to be able to weed out unecessary elements of our daily school and narrow in on the important things. Great information to have on hand - I refer to this book often.
I love Ruth Beechick's writing. Incredible common sense. I felt comfortable sorting through & taking what worked for me. Helped me let go of "school at home" and dive into enjoyable learning at home.
It's listed as a homeschooling book, but it has so many tips for teaching children that I think it's wonderful for any parent who wants to help their children learn, even if it's just helping them with their homework after public school.

The author encourages homeschooling parents through basic education of the 8th grade.
