Download The Well-Trained Mind: A Guide to Classical Education at Home (Third Edition) AudioBook Free
The Well-Trained Head will instruct you, detail by detail, on how to provide your child an academically rigorous, detailed education from preschool through senior high school - one that will train her or him to read, to believe, to understand, to be well-rounded and curious about learning. Veteran home educators Jessie Smart and Susan Smart Bauer put together the classical routine of education called the trivium, which organizes learning surrounding the maturing capacity of the child's brain and includes three phases: the primary school "grammar stage," the middle school "reasoning level," and the senior high school "rhetoric level." Applying this theory as your model, you'll be able to instruct your child in all degrees of reading, writing, history, geography, mathematics, knowledge, foreign languages, rhetoric, logic, art, and music, irrespective of your own aptitude in those subject matter. This newly revised edition has completely updated ordering information for all those curricula and books, new and expanded curricula recommendations, new material on using personal computers and distance-learning resources, answers to common questions about home education, information about educational organizations, and advice on useful issues such as dealing with your local institution board, preparing a higher institution transcript, and applying to colleges.
