"Outstanding...should be on every home educator's reference bookshelf."—Homeschooling Today

This book will instruct you, step by step, on how to give your child an academically rigorous, comprehensive education from preschool through high school. Two veteran home educators outline the classical pattern of education—the trivium—which organizes learning around the maturing capacity of the child's mind: the elementary school "grammar stage," the middle school "logic stage," and the high school "rhetoric stage." Using the trivium as your model, you'll be able to instruct your child in all levels of reading, writing, history, geography, mathematics, science, foreign languages, rhetoric, logic, art, and music, regardless of your own aptitude in those subjects.

Newly revised and updated, The Well-Trained Mind includes detailed book lists with complete ordering information; up-to-date listings of resources, publications, and Internet links; and useful contacts.

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.

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.

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.
