and Curriculum (and Everything)
By Julie Shepherd Knapp, copyright 2006
A listing and brief description of various homeschooling approaches,
popular methods, and philosophies and a review of the different types of
instructional materials that are available in the US.
Under Popular Methods and Philosophies, below, you'll find a listing
of the most popular ways parents go about homeschooling. Each
approach is given a brief description, and you will find links to additional
books and websites so you will be able to research the methods you
think you and your child might enjoy. Under each approach you will find
curriculum options, brief reviews of some popular commercial products,
free online resources, and a listing of important websites and books.
Homeschool approaches are also grouped and presented according to
the main types of learning materials they use. Some approaches and
