Usborne Books, which are found in many homeschooling curriculums, are not exactly what I think of as great learning! And yet, so many homeschooling companies are making them the staple of their science or history programs. As an educational reference, they might be okay, but in my opinion they aren't laid out very well.

Mom, think outside the curriculum box! Look at good books! There are so many sites on the internet for great reading lists! Here are just a few to start you off:

www.classicalhomeschooling.org/celoop/100.html
www.interleaves.org/~rteeter/greatbks.html
www.geocities.com/Athens/Atlantis/4360
www.anova.org
www.ccel.org/index/classics.html

Provide your child a love of learning, provide a good book! Happy reading!
