Homeschool World Forum

Hi Cindy Lou;

Have you looked at www.amblesideonline.org? They offer a year by year guide with book lists, schedules and all kinds of info for CM. Most of it is available free, even some of the recommended books. My DS is only 3yo, so we don't "officially" do school yet, but I love the CM style. I've bought bunches of books, including her original series. Very good information. My DS enjoys reading time and outdoor exploration, so we are on the right track. Good Luck with your search. If you want to trade info let me know, I'll send you my email address.

I think the ages of your children would make a difference. My father's world is great for relative new homeschoolers- esp if you haven't tried unit studies before. They tend to cater to younger ages. For middle school up you might consider Tapestrys of Grace or Learning Adventures. These are a bit more challenging, but very rewarding. You need to watch what components each on stresses. MFW is fairly integrated in all subjects. LA is very heavy on english- little other language is needed.
