Number of Homeschoolers Increase Yearly

August 16, 2004 -- It is that time of year again – the time when millions of children head back to public school. Although this has been the traditional view of education in America, there is a growing trend toward educating children at home. Statistics from the Home School Legal Defense Association show that homeschooling is growing at a rate of anywhere between 7 and 15% each year, with approximately 2 million children being taught in their homes right now. The reasons for homeschooling are as varied as the families themselves, but some include political beliefs, a fear of the harmful effects of public schools, and a belief that their children are best served by being taught in a home environment. Whatever the reasons may be, if you have taken on the enormous responsibility of educating your own children, author Tammy A. Shaw has written Bright Beginnings: A Complete Curriculum for Early Learning, to provide you with a solid foundation for your preschool-aged child.

Bright Beginnings brings many benefits into your home. It is an affordable, flexible program that is extremely user-friendly and simple to teach. The curriculum is written from a Christian perspective and includes character training and Bible references throughout. One of the many challenges that homeschooling parents face is the amount of preparation time involved with their children's lessons. Bright Beginnings is all-inclusive and does not require a lot of preparation. Included in this two-book set are 36 weeks of complete lesson plans, requiring only a Bible, household supplies, and a few optional library books. Subjects include: Bible, Language Skills, Math, Character Development, Health, Safety and Manners, Memory Verse, God's World, Physical Education, Art, Snack and Music.

Millions of families across the country have made the decision to establish a place of learning within the walls of their homes. If you are one of those millions, or if you are involved with preschool-aged children in a daycare or preschool environment, this is a creative and well-balanced program that you will not be disappointed in. Bright Beginnings: A Complete Curriculum for Early Learning is published by American Book Publishing and is available to order at stores near you. It is also available at a discount on the Publisher Direct Discount Bookstore's website at http://www.pdbookstore.com.
