Homeschooling Help

If you homeschool, this collection of lists will take you from K-6 and is a great companion to any curriculum you use. Highlights for me were the phonics example words (perfect spelling lists), story starters and enrichment activities, as well as the greek and latin root words and the lists of suffixes and prefixes. There is so much useful information here, even your children will pick it up and browse through for fun.

As a newly certified teacher I have accumulated quite a few books on education. This book is a must have for any teacher...experienced or new. It is divided up into many sections which makes referencing easy. It includes any and all information you need to make lesson planning cohesive and reliable. From onomatopeia to vowel sounds, I highly recommend this book. It is worth every penny!!!
