Page 15: About Home Education

Because all families differ in needs, goals, budget etc, we will refrain from recommending a single how-to book. Read as widely as you can, and re-read the same books six months later, because different things will "make sense." If you need to start urgently, consider the Lifepac curriculum. However, all items in this catalogue are relevant, not just items in this section.
