Until I read Gayle's book I was only convinced that I agreed with all of the philosophies behind home schooling. With her organizational ideas, her practical approach to teaching the three R's, and most importantly how she teaches to trust in God for results, I now feel confident that I can teach my child and teach her well!! This book has been a wonderful encouragement to me and I know I will keep it on hand for a long time and refer to it often! Thank you Gayle Graham, for you loving concern for your fellow home schoolers! Tami Michael

I have been home educating for 11+ years and this book continues to be a source of encouragement for me. Gayle Graham shows the ins and outs and ups and downs of not only educating your child, but the demands of housekeeping and your own distractions.
Her record keeping sheets in the back are worth owning this book!
I have the older version and have not seen this revised copy. Check www.rainbowresource.com or www.lifetimeonline.com for a copy if Amazon is out.

How to Homeschool: A Practical Approach
I have been homeschooling since 1996. I have an older copy of this book and still enjoy reading and re-reading it. It is like a little cheerleader reminding me and encouraging me. The Scriptures throughout this book are helpful and inspiring. I enjoy loaning this book out to new homeschool families yearly and always insist on them returning it to me so that I may bless another family. While my older copy is a little dated, Gayle's simple down home approach reminds you that you can, with the Lord Jesus' help, homeschool and run a home. I still use some of her reproducibles even with all the info available on the web. This is a great book for a new homeschool family, especially one with multiple children wondering "how will I do it all".

I have been home schooling for about 1 year and I am always looking for books to read on homeschooling to keep me up to date or even introduce me to something I havent thought of. I was very dissappointed and would not waste your money on this book. This book is so simple and basic that it really doesnt cover anything except that you couldnt find on the internet with a few keystrokes. I was very disappointed in the writer and her views on how to home educate. Her views actually give amunition to those against homeschooling. Her views on homeschooling are more for keeping your children at home to teach them values rather than to concentrate on educating them. My goals when I took my 6th grader out of public school was to teach her more on her level, not to have an extra house keeper. Dont waste your money. There are many other great books out there.
