Resources

I have referred to numerous books and journal articles through out this project.  If I have quoted from a text,  I encourage its place on the writing teacher's bookshelf.

I found the following books to be the five most valuable in increasing my understanding of writing instruction.  I would encourage homeschool parents to invest in building their teacher's library first, then spend money on resources for their children. There is a popular mindset in the homeschool world that anyone can teach their children at home, just buy the curriculum and go. I dare to push back against that slightly and challenge teaching parents to equip themselves for the task at hand. The total cost of the following books is less than a one year's purchase of the most popular writing curriculum, but will benefit teacher and student far longer.
