Reviews of the resources
Since I've had a chance to enjoy all the ebooks in advance, I'll bring you my honest reviews of each. Read on!
Montessori At Home! by John Bowman of Montessori at Home, 520 pages and numerous printables, value $10.95

I am beyond impressed with the scope and details of this book. It gives the background of Montessori learning and then takes you into the nitty-gritty of implementing it with your children. If you are interested in Montessori or would like to learn more, you need this book.
You can Read! by Carisa of 1+1+1=1, over 300 pages, value $10

Plus, as the parent of a six-year-old who's starting to get interested in reading, I have to say that I think many or most of the activities would be just as effective and helpful for on-schedule or older readers as well. They're fun and emphasize sight words and sensory exploration.
Everyday Sensory Alphabet Activities, by Melitsa Avila of Raising Playful Tots, 99 pages, value $9

The simplicity is the brilliance. You don't need any fancy supplies or a ton of time. Just a few minutes a day will help your preschooler learn to look for letters in everyday places. This is something you can do before or after preschool without adding any added bulk of "work" to you or your little one's day.
I especially appreciate Melitsa's book recommendations sprinkled liberally throughout her resource, because they're multicultural and introduce children to a range of experiences. That's something I look for in my own children's book selections, so it's a treat to see a broad and recommended list presented to me!
Book Love: Help Your Child Grow From Reluctant to Enthusiastic Reader, by Melissa Taylor of Imagination Soup, 130 pages, value $9.97

Thankfully, my fears were completely unfounded. In fact, they were blown out of the water. I love this book. Like, love love.
Melissa has identified four key reasons kids don't like to read: too tricky — too blurry — too boring — too sitty.
Then Book Love gently and gracefully offers ideas to overcome those obstacles and infuse enthusiasm into even the most hesitant reader. As someone who loves reading, and someone who hates to see reading transformed into a chore for kids, I was so inspired and impressed with the open-hearted and infectious joy Melissa has for the subject of reading.
As just one example of something I adored: She recommends getting a head lamp instead of a futzy reading lamp for night owls who want to read before falling asleep. Brilliant! (Literally!)
Included in the text are book lists by interests, alphabet and phonics activities and crafts, sight word games, favorite reading products, rhyming word play games, printables, and more. If you want your child to love reading, you want Book Love.
Unschooling: A Lifestyle of Learning, by Sara McGrath, 120 pages, value $4.99

This book answers pretty much any question you might have about unschooling and how it affects your family, your children, and their future educational options. It's part-philosophy but a whole lot of practicality. Wondering about how unschooling compares to different homeschooling styles? It's there. How about unschoolers' use of screen time and media? Yup. Want to know what a typical unschool day looks like? Wonder if a child can transition from schooling through deschooling and out the other side? Worried about how to document your learning to abide by homeschooling laws? Wondering if an unschooled child can get into college — or get a job? It's all covered.
If you're intrigued by unschooling but unsure about the details, or if you want to unschool or already do but want further guidance and resources, pick up Unschooling: A Lifestyle of Learning.
What Will We Learn Today? Easy Homeschooling Activities, by Lauren Wayne of Hobo Mama, 154 pages, value $5.99
This is mine — whee!
So, obviously, I can't review my own book, but I can give you a preview! I'll write a bit more about it in a future post, along with some excerpts, but here's a summary for now:
What Will We Learn Today? is an ideabook of more than 550 fun and creative ideas that teach and reinforce learning under eight key curricular subjects. Whether you’re homeschooling, unschooling, or regular schooling, your preschool and school-age kids will enjoy these quick activities that engage their minds and creativity.
The ideas are time- and child-tested activities that our kids enjoy. For them, there’s no division between "learning" and "life" — it’s all of one piece. These idea-joggers use very little in the way of special materials or money but give a lot in terms of natural learning and family connection.
Plus: They're fun! Honest. Mikko always loves our hands-on experiments and games.
Don't wait!
So there you have it. Six solid resources; many, many good reasons to buy them all. And you can — at a whopping 75% off the cover prices! This is a deal that's too good to last, and it's true: This sale will be around for only 4 days. Once Wednesday night comes — poof! — the bundle disappears.So grab your chance now to get $50 worth of educational resources marked down to only $12.50!
I personally recommend and admire every resource in this bundle, and I hope you'll love them, too!
