The classic handbook on home schooling updated for a new generation of parents and students. Is your child getting lost in the system, becoming bored, losing his or her natural eagerness to learn? If so, it may be time to take charge of your child�s education by doing it yourself. The Well-Trained Mind will instruct you, step by step, on how to give your child an academically rigorous, comprehensive education from preschool through high school�one that will train him or her to read, to think, to understand, to be well-rounded and curious about learning.
Veteran home educator Susan Wise Bauer outlines the classical pattern of education called the trivium, which organizes learning around the maturing capacity of the child�s mind and comprises three stages: the elementary school �grammar stage,� when the building blocks of information are absorbed through memorization and rules; the middle school �logic stage,� in which the student begins to think more analytically; and the high-school �rhetoric stage,� where the student learns to write and speak with force and originality.
Using this theory as your model, you�ll be able to instruct your child�whether full-time or as a supplement to classroom education�in all levels of reading, writing, history, geography, mathematics, science, foreign languages, rhetoric, logic, art, and music, regardless of your own aptitude in those subjects.
A new optional Resource Recommendations Portal provides subscribers with curated lists of the best curricula for every grade level and learning style. Thousands of parents have already used the methods described in The Well-Trained Mind to create a truly superior education for children in their care. You do have control over what and how your child learns. The Well-Trained Mind will give you the tools you�ll need to teach your child with confidence and success.
