Choosing the right curriculum for a homeschool student can be a daunting task for a parent, so Cathy Duffy comes to the rescue with her new book 100 Top Picks for Homeschool Curriculum. Back when some of us began homeschooling in the 70s and 80s there were not many choices as far as curriculum. Now there are so many that a parent could spend years just sorting through it all and never get started, or waste a year trying to use a good curriculum with a child that it does not fit.

Cathy Duffy is a household name with veteran homeschoolers. She has been a leader in homeschool circles for years and made her first major contribution with her book Christian Home Educators Curriculum Manual. For the past twenty years Cathy has been a speaker at homeschool conferences and worked as a consultant to publishers, distributors and individuals. Her writing is a wealth of information and good guidance for beginner and veteran alike.

100 Top Picks is designed to help a parent determine his students best choices by evaluating the students learning styles and the parents educational philosophies. Chapters 1-5 are interactive chapters posing questions with writing space, like a workbook, to help a person line out his philosophies and then judge what type of learning styles his student has. Chapters 7-11 discuss the basic school subjects and introduce suitable curriculum for each. The reviews of the materials are detailed and even include prices and purchasing info. Chapters 11-13 discuss choices for unit studies and all-in-one programs, foreign language programs, electives, and on-line classes.

This book helps answer the question; How in the world do I figure out which curriculum to use? I would recommend it highly to anyone starting out in home education. It would also be beneficial for homeschoolers who feel they need to rethink their philosophies or change curriculum. Elece Hollis, Christian Book Previews.com

The informative sections of the book we absolutely amazing, having someone help me through writing down a concrete plan of why and how to homeschool was priceless. It was also very exciting to learn about the learning and teaching styles and how that affects which curriculum we should use. I wish she would have gone into more detail on how to determine which learning style my children are or maybe suggested resourses for other books or websites that would do that. Her review section of the book was also very helpful but there are some hugh holes, some of the curriculum I was interested in from her book cbd doesn't have on their website and I didn't know where else to find them. Also some of the things I'm interested in because I've seen it on the cbd website were not reviewed. Still I greatly enjoyed the book and would recommend it to anyone thinking about or already homeschooling.

I'm new to homeschooling and this book is a great resource for those who aren't sure where to start. Cathy Duffy breaks it down to the basics with details later. She uses her own experience as well to give practical advice. This is a MUST BUY for everyone in homeschooling.

A very smart book with indepth review of major works, an explanation of learning styles that goes beyond the ordinary (which helped me to understand my daughter much better), and a quick reference chart that rates all works according to how they impact the specific learning syle. It simply works! You can look at the book for 30 minutes and know what to buy for you child. I confirmed some of my ideas and impulses, changed my mind in regard to others, and decided to go with a couple of methods on some subjects: one that I believe is a must (chronological history) and the other that I know would be intersting to her learning style (Character trait history).
