by Robin Sampson

Concerned homeschooling parents are always asking "Am I doing enough?" This book answers this question and includes the checklists for academic evaluation for each grade K-8 and much more. Author Robin Sampson explains our children need to obtain academic knowledge, but, more importantly, they need to acquire the wisdom to know how to use the knowledge! "You may be interested in this book because it includes the state standards but you will come away from it inspired to rely on God's standards!" The goals outlined in this book will help you prepare, teach, and evaluate your children from a Biblical world view. It will also advise you in helping them become self-motivated, lifelong learners.

Reviews

[Jurene · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is quite possibly the most important book for parents to read prior to homeschooling their children.

[Brooke · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is absolutely essential for Christian parents considering homeschooling. While it does include milestones children are expected to reach at certain points, it also offers much-needed perspective on why it is a Godly decision to homeschool. It has proven a great resource, and I have returned to it numerous times.
