Book Reviews Homeschoolers

Best Homeschool Book ReviewsDeciding which books to use in your home school just became a little easier!  Books are critical to an authentic classical education, but how do you decide which books to read?  What authors consistently challenge with comprehensive themes, compelling plot lines, and extensive vocabulary?  To what ages does the book best apply?  What kind of discussion and essay questions can you ask?

In these short audio posts, the kids and I share candid book reviews of our favorite home school books.   You can listen from your computer or download the file to your mp3 player for later learning.  Plus, there are two subscription options:  (1) email updates through feedburner as new podcasts are published, or  (2) real-time updates via your itunes store account!
