Finally, homeschoolers
have a comprehensive guide to designing a homeschool
curriculum, from one of the country's foremost homeschooling
experts. Rebecca Rupp presents a structured plan to
ensure that your children will learn what they need
to know when they need to know it, from preschool through
high school. Based on the traditional pre-K through
12th-grade structure, Home Learning Year by Year features:
The integral subjects to be covered
within each grade. Standards for knowledge that should
be acquired by your child at each level
Recommended books to use as texts for every subject.
Guidelines for the importance of each topic: which knowledge
is essential and which is best for more expansive study
based on your child's personal interests. Suggestions
for how to sensitively approach less academic subjects,
such as sex education and physical fitness.
