Terra Scholar - A Complete Handbook for Today’s Homeschooler E-book
There are literally hundreds of books available now about homeschooling and frankly almost all of them include at least some useful and intelligent information. However, most people, especially parents with young children, do not have the time to read them all, sort out what is important and then decide exactly what they need to do. Besides the cost involved in buying all of those books makes the concept unrealistic from the start.
The Home School Institute felt that it was critically important for at least the best of that information be made available, in digest form, so that families considering homeschooling do not have to be overwhelmed from the start. So it arranged for a single comprehensive e-book to be produced that will give parents the information they actually need to homeschool their children called “Terra Scholar - A Complete Handbook for Today’s Homeschooler”.
The Handbook is a digest of the best information collected from literally hundreds of books, articles and websites. It represents a treasure chest of quotes encompassing the wisdom of dozens of experts on every aspect of homeschooling, from deciding if it is right for your family, all the way through to getting a college degree or starting a business. This 235+ page E-book will also be particularly helpful to you if you have a friend or relative that is uncomfortable with your decision to homeschool.
This E-book is available to members of the National Home School Association. Please either download the free preview below or log-in to access the download of the full book.
