This getting started package was created by veteran homeschool mom, writer,
speaker, and homeschool coach Diane Flynn Keith and includes hand-selected
materials to help you successfully begin your homeschool journey. It

Two terrific books that will guide you to homeschool success...
- The California Homeschool Guide by the California Homeschool Network is
the only book on homeschooling that is written by and for California
homeschoolers. This comprehensive handbook includes information on how to
homeschool, legal options for California parents, inspiring advice from
veteran homeschoolers, and extensive resources. Diane Flynn Keith wrote the
foreword, and will sign your copy.
- Carschooling: Over 350 Entertaining Games & Activities To Turn Travel Time Into Learning Time
by Diane Flynn Keith -- California homeschoolers spend a lot of time in the car driving
to park days, coop classes, and field trips. Whether running a 5-minute errand or taking
a 500-mile road trip you'll find kid-tested and parent-approved techniques for learning
math, science, writing, history, social studies, art, music and more while you're on the
go. Many of the ideas can be used outside of the car too -- a perfect compendium of fun
educational activities that the whole family will enjoy. Your autographed edition includes
an ingenious collection of tried-and-true-ideas (for ages 4-17 and beyond) to help turn
your homeschoolers into "Road Scholars."
You also receive Homeschool Presentations on CD
by Diane Keith recorded live at Homeschool Conferences
in California. They include:
- Adventures In Homeschooling! -- A funny, insightful memoir of one family's homeschool adventure. From
ruler-swinging school marm to Birkenstock-wearing hippy unschooler, Diane
Keith has worn many hats throughout her 14-year homeschool journey. Laugh
out loud as she describes her family's escapades through every subject
required by the California Education Code that will surprise, stun, and
inspire you. An hour of listening will leave you refreshed, rejuvenated and
reassured that when it comes to homeschooling in California - you
can do it - and enjoy it every step of the way!
- Eclectic Homeschooling: Using Everything AND the Kitchen Sink to Teach Your
Kids At Home -- From classical curriculum to unschooling there is a wide spectrum of methods
to choose from in homeschooling. Many home educators cobble together their own,
custom-tailored curriculum using everything from traditional textbooks to candy
bar wrappers. Discover the outstanding resources available to help your kids learn
every traditional subject in both tried-and-true and non-traditional ways. Find out
how to tell what works and what doesn't so that your kids get an abundant, world-class
education at home.
Bonus! This CD comes with the workshop hand-out.

recommended by homeschooling parents. You'll have the information right at your
fingertips so you can refer to it over and over again!

time in your car with engaging games and activities that actually teach every
