Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book was instrumental in helping me make some difficult choices about our plan for homeschooling. It is so much more than a book of recommendations its a book that will walk you through the process from beginning to end. I felt so overwhelmed by my decision to homeschool all 3 of my boys this year but Cathys 101 top picks really helped me gain clarity and focus on everything thats important about choosing a curriculum. When people tell me that they are thinking about homeschooling their kids, I tell them to read this book NOW so they can understand what they want and need before they have to face the question of what curriculum they should use. I highly recommend this book and will continue to recommend it to anyone who is considering a change in curriculum or just beginning to think about homeschooling. Thank you so much of helping me face this giant! God Bless you Cathy Duffy." --Sandra M., Homeschool Buyers Co-op Member

"Our first attempt at homeschooling was, at best, a dismal success. We used pre-packaged curriculum and only one child out of the three was happy with it. At the end of that year I purchased Cathy's first book but we decided to enroll our children in a Charter school so the book was never opened. After much prayer, we felt that it was necessary to give homeschooling another chance. I pulled out Cathy's book and set to work planning an approach to this school year. Her website was another great resource and on it I found a link to update to the latest version of her book. What a goldmine! We are using curriculum tailored specifically to each child in each subject. While homeschooling still has its difficult moments, I'm happy to say that they are not caused by the curriculum. I'm looking forward to calling this year a success thanks to this book." --- Christina Jay, Homeschool Buyers Co-op Member

From the Inside Flap

"Cathy has saved me hours, if not days, of work! I am so grateful for her book. This year I was revamping all of our homeschooling books (either used up or needed a different style) and needed information for three different grade levels for eight different subjects! I was able to find what would work best for our family and each child individually all within her book. Even after I finished the book, I decided to check out some other suppliers. I was unhappy with them all; either quality, price, or content. I would end up back at what Cathy recommended every time. This has been EXACTLY what I was looking for. I really trust her reviews and love the outlook she shares within her book. I cannot tell you what a blessing this book was for me this year. I am recommending it to all my homeschooling friends. Thank you!!!" - Amber, Homeschool Buyers Co-op Member "...I would buy it for myself or a friend without blinking. This is an invaluable tool, especially if you are just starting out. Even as I say that, I have been homeschooling for ten years and I am still getting excited about using Cathy's forms and reading through each section more carefully." - Amy, reviewer at www.bowofbronze.com

I’ve checked this book out several times in my 25 yr homes career. With so many people asking my opinion and guidance on curriculum in the past few years, I decided to buy it. Now I can share all the wonderful information in this book.

Wonderful resource for helping choose a homeschool curriculum!

Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2016

I am beginner homeschool teacher and this book turned out to be a valuable resource in helping me choose a curriculum. I could google each curriculum individually and get all this research for free, however this is very time consuming. I started out that way and found it to be a very daunting task. It was very worth it to me to pay twenty some dollars and have months of research in one book...more in depth than I could have ever done....In my situation I was able to easily choose a curriculum for my daughter who has dyslexia...I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who needs help choosing a homeschool curriculum...this is a great resource to have each year as your child grows and his or her needs change.

This book has been such a HUGE help for me to narrow down what curriculum to use. It can be overwhelming choosing the right curriculum but Cathy helps in so many ways....figuring out my teaching style, my kids learning styles and what fits best with those personalities...... Amazing help!!! I recommend it to every new homeschool family and to those needing some guidance.

LOVE this book

Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2015

LOVE this book!! Before buying it, I spent many hours reading and researching curriculum and reviews. Even Cathy Duffy's website! This book is so much more than the title implies. I was hesitant to spend the money on the book, thinking it would just be more in-depth reviews than what her website had. But it's so much more! Ms. Duffy walks you through questions to figure out what your very own schooling philosophy is, set priorities, determine what your learning style is, what your children's learning styles are, and helps you put all that information together to figure out which curriculum could work for you and your family. This book has saved me so much time, helped me organize my thoughts, and simplified the curriculum decision for me. I am thanking God for this book right now!

My girlfriend suggested I get this book since I’m considering homeschooling my four children next year. I have SO many questions, but this book was so informative- and I really loved the “workbook” side of it. I was able to really think through and put into writing my fealings and fears! I didn’t skip ahead, but filled out all of the sections and learned SO much. I Love love love the charts for the curriculum! It makes it so easy to figure out what style is best for your family! Can’t wait to start!!

i just got it and started reading it... I've gotten to the first chapters and I am loving this book! As a newbe and finding so much material free, cheap, expensive, and all with different philosophies I started buying a kinds of books and courses like crazy thinking I was missing out on something... But with that and using some of them I noticed how some are working for my daughter and some probably never will... And that is when I came across this book... I am already finding answers :) and this is not the first homeschool book I read... But I think this is the one!!!!! :)

Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2016

I highly recommend this book for anyone who is considering homeschooling. Many choose to go to homeschooling conferences to learn more about curriculums. Personally, I don't think that is the best route for everyone. In this workbook Cathy has done the research on the top curriculums. While answering a series of questions, you learn about the type of teacher you are and what your child's learning type is. This allows you to narrow your choices down. Using this book has helped reduced my stress as I enter the new journey of homeschooling. Thank you Cathy!!!

Worthwhile read

Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2016

This is a really helpful review of some of the best homeschooling options out there. I wish she had multiple books for people with different interests or different types of learners (ex.: best curricula options for hands-on learners, catholic families, special needs students, etc.) She seems to try to give and overview and a varied selection of what's out there, but there are some really great curricula that are skimmed over, especially if there are a slightly more "niche" type of strategy. However for those who fit in that niche, that's what you want to know! Overall a really helpful book. Just making a suggestion for a future resource.
