Lorraine Curry, author of EasyHomeschooling Techniques and now Easy Homeschooling Companion, has been a home educator since 1989. Lorraine's books are packed with tips and ideas to help any homeschool grow in character, grace, and high standards. Many nuggets can be found throughout this newest book, including brief sections written by such greats as Virginia Knowles and Cindy Rushton. Particularly of interest are the resource helps, grammar and language arts teaching tips (including poetry), and planning strategies. A devotional and homeschool 'how-to' book rolled into one, home-educating parents can't go wrong by having this on hand as an academic instruction/planning reference. I like how Lorraine inspires the love of literature in both parents and children. No dumbing down educational methodologies here. Recommended as a curricular resource tool for any library.
