Learn how to teach your children at home with Beverley Paine's Getting Started with Homeschooling Practical Considerations - Australia's premier 'how to homeschool' manual.

"The best thing I ever did when I started homeschooling was read this book. It has all the practical stuff, but most importantly it encourages you to look at why you are wanting to homeschool, and what you are wanting to achieve. It will also show you that there are many different ways to home educate (from 'school at home' to 'natural learning'), and encourages you to find what works best for you and your children. I still go back and look at it all the time." Nikki, ACT
