About this product

Product Information

This book will instruct you, step by step, on how to give your child an academically rigorous, comprehensive education from preschool through high school. Two veteran home educators outline the classical pattern of education'he trivium'hich organizes learning around the maturing capacity of the child's mind: the elementary school "grammar stage," the middle school "logic stage," and the high school "rhetoric stage." Using the trivium as your model, you'll be able to instruct your child 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. Newly revised and updated, The Well-Trained Mind includes detailed book lists with complete ordering information; up-to-date listings of resources, publications, and Internet links; and useful contacts.

The Well-Trained Mind by Jessie Wise
This is an excellent resource and guide for any homeschooling family! Whether or not you are a Christian or desire a Classical education for your children, this book lists other fine books to help support your goals, whatever they are. I'm very selective about the books I make room for, and this makes the cut! I refer to this book often and will again over the next few years, so I don't think that it's expensive. A book that will be used for years is a bargain! And contrary to many people's conclusions, it is not inflexible. If you actually read the book, rather than glancing at it, which indeed is overwhelming, you find that the given schedules are merely SUGGESTIONS, and that tangents and detours in the course of study are to be expected, especially in the younger years when children are learning so much about everything! The authors support following a child's interest that is triggered by previous study, they do not squelch it. So much of what they say strikes a true chord for me, and our approach is not entirley classical at all. I use their proposed schedules as a guideline to be sure that we are touching on what we need to, but I supplement and alter as we need. I found the authors to be open and enthusiastic rather than condescending. They are passionate about learning and it shows. I appreciate the organization models they provide and the wonderful resources they list, as this hschooling endeavor CAN be overwhelming at times. This book gives me a foundation, and we build or alter from there. I love this book!Read full review

A Homeschooling Essential
Before homeschooling, my daughter attended a classical private school. I loved the education she was receiving there and wanted to transfer that to the home setting. This book was essential in helping me put together my curriculum. The Well-Trained Mind lays out specifically what to do in each subject area as well as giving suggestions for which materials to use. I checked this book out of the library so many times, I finally decided I needed to purchase it. Now that I have been homeschooling for a few years, I feel more confident to branch out and choose some different curriculum than what is in The Well-Trained Mind. You can still benefit from this book if you do not plan on doing a completely classical approach. I refer to this book throughout the homeschooling year as well as when setting up my plan for the next school year. You will not be disappointed.Read full review

A Classical Home Education
I love this book/program! Co-Author Susan Wise Bauer is a homeschool graduate, so she has lived it, and is now Professor of Literature at William and Mary. I love it that the authors did not just write a book based on "educational theory" but drew from their own (and others) similar schooling experience. The book explains why a classical education is valuable today, how to implement, and even step by step curriculum and literature application.

A go to book for classical education
I love this book because it is very clear and concise. It covers not only how to homeschool your child but also the methods that will produce the best results for learning. I especially liked the pros and cons of the authors' top picks for curriculum. If you have a desire for your child to have an academic advantage over their public school counter parts I fully recommend you get this book.

Great tool for homeschool moms & dads
This is a comprehensive step by step instruction to help you get started or re-vamp your homeschool program. It is also easy to pick and choose sections to follow, I really like her history and science sections for all three stages of learning, it was very useful in helping me teach my children.
