Book Review of Creative Home Schooling: A Resource Guide for Smart Families

Creative Home Schooling: A Resource Guide for Smart Families
livinglibrary avatar reviewed on + 7 more book reviews


After burning out on homeschooling and sending my children to public school for a year, I happened upon this book as it was being returned to my local library during our families yearlong stint in Columbus, Georgia. Even though I wasn't homeschooling at the time, I was still obsessed by the topic, so I asked the librarian if I could take "that one." I am so glad I did! This book, along with Homeschooling: A Family's Journey, did much to reignite my passion for the calling of life-educating my children. I highly recommend this book, as a great read as well as a reference tool.

This resource guide provides background information "for smart families" (which includes everyone!) Though the focus is on gifted students, children are all gifted in different ways.As Ms. Rivero points out, home education provides excellent opportunities to provide a tailored approach. The book is broken down into easily understood sections, along with wonderful personal testimonies by actual homeschool families.
