Very Helpful Overview

When I began homeschooling four years ago, there was so much to learn all at once it seemed, and so many ideas on how to do it. This book helped me get a picture of what homeschooling was all about and how wonderful it could be! It contains articles from 40 some other authors besides Mr. Wade, so you get to read many viewpoints. I highly recommend it to someone starting out, and think it would be helpful to a veteran also.

A must-have!

When I decided that I wanted to homeschool, I was totally lost as to where I should begin. A friend bought me this book and I am forever grateful to her. This book offers so much information, not just about the basics of homeschooling, but offers planning tools, encouragement and practical advice on which curriculum to choose, and which to avoid. It is definitely a good base for anyone who is thinking of taking on the challenge of homeschooling. I highly recommend it!

excellent resource

I read through many homeschooling guides while considering it as a posible alternative to public school. The Home School Manual was by far the best and I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who is currently or is contemplating homeschooling.

Great book!

Really helped "crystallize" a lot of my thinking as I embarked on home schooling for my young children. The author asked questions that my family needed to answer before making the decision. Very practical, clear and easy to use. Lots of reproducable forms, too. Best part: author has evaluated many homeschools over the course of his career AND has children who are homeschooled -- "seen it" from every angle.

The Ultimate Beginner's Guide

After reading everything I could get my hands on regarding homeschooling I only wish someone had simplified my journey. The Home School Manual is the ultimate for inspiration, ideas, and the dreaded organization skills that go hand in hand with home schooling. If there was only one book I could recommend "newbies" and "wannabees" to read it would be this book by Theodore E Wade, Jr and others. It is a simplified version of ideas and far less overwhelming than the rest. We have assured that both support groups we belong to have a copy of this book in there resource center.
