This exhaustive and comprehensive sourcebook provides parents and teachers with information on all the resources needed to plan a well-balanced curriculum for the home or the classroom, from preschool through high school. The Complete Home Learning Sourcebook not only covers basic academic subjects--the three R's--but also addresses interests that are off the beaten path of public school curricula, such as paleontology and meteorology. Thorough and up-to-date, this invaluable resource reviews all possible learning tools:

Arranged by subject, including "Philosophy," "Life Skills," and "Electronic Media," the sourcebook's organization and succinct and insightful entries make it a breeze to use.  Icons next to the entries denote the format and intended age group of each resource. Whether readers are looking for the best way to explain relativity or Egyptian mummification, The Complete Home Learning Sourcebook opens the door to a whole new universe for teaching and learning.

It has "Complete" in the title for a reason and gets really close

Wow - everything you wanted to know about homeschooling but wouldn't even think to ask. It's almost too overwhelming, but it's a great resource. She even includes her own homeschool journal entries, just brief sections, from the late eighties/ninties as she was homeschooling her three boys. She really includes all points of view and covers every subject so comprehensively. My only complaint is that it needs to be updated to include more website info. - she does list websites when she can, but there were many companies in there that I'm familiar with that have a good site and she didn't list the address for it. But you really can't believe all the subjects she covers - nothing is left out from what I can see.

A fantastic reference book that needs to be updated!

This is such an incredible book that contains an enormous wealth of information and personal anecdotes. Unfortunately, this book is now outdated, as is some of the information in it. Some of the websites are no longer valid and some companies who had no website at the time this book was published, now do have one. In all, however, this book is a fantastic starting point with wonderful ideas. I hope the publishers of this book will seriously consider updating it and if they do, I honestly feel that this would be one of the most important homeschooling books available to families.

So blessed I found this!

I am so blessed to have purchased this book early in our homeschool experience. They weren't very many formal cirriculum packages I liked, but everyone I knew was using them. Now what? I found this book and I am able to build my entire cirriculum around the contents! Our library has most of the books I need, or can be lent from another library. It has helped our budget TONS! This is a purchase you will not regret!

When she says COMPLETE

she means complete. It is a great book to follow and use as reference for your homeschooling experience.

Needs to be updated

It needs to be updated big time. A lot of recommended resources on the internet no longer exist and some recommended books are not recommended by the amazon customers. I have a 2 year old and I want to get ready to home school my child, but seems like this book will be so much out of date by the time he becomes 10 years old!
