Read
Read about home education
a. There are so many books out today that offer advice
and suggestions about home schooling that it would be difficult to name all of
them.
b. Ask any friends who are home
schooling what they would recommend. Go to the library and see what books they
have to offer.
c. Search the Internet. Keep in mind that sorting
through this information can be a challenge. When looking at any information
online, look at the source. A mom of preschoolers who is only researching home
schooling and has a web page may or may not have worthwhile advice where as a
veteran of many years can be a treasure trove of information.
