Sommer Sorenson, moderates Basically Bluedorn Yahoo Group. The group’s excitement is palpatable and contagious. You’ll find not only lively discussions, but, a file section covering lesson plans, links that show parents how to apply the Trivium in their homeschooling. The group is reading Teaching the Trivium: Christian Homeschooling in a Classical Style. Here you will meet other parents who are giving their children a Classical Education at home through a Scriptural Trivium. You don’t need to pay $4,500 every year for each of your children for 8 years to receive this education. It’s free for Homeschoolers.

Here is an outline Sommer posted of the reading schedule for the Basically Bluedorn Yahoo Group:
