This book deals with the practical of home education.
It  arose out of many hours of thoughtful discussion during which my children told me what they thought good and what they thought not so good about their own education (they are old enough now to look back with a frightening degree of objectivity). 

The result is a, comprehensive,  guide to  home education up to the age of eleven. 

It contains extensive sections on how to teach reading, writing and  arithmetic  and also has highly praised sections on gardening, cooking, crafts and art.
