We have kind of put our own home school core together. We found that what works for one does not necessarily work for another. The one thing we have instilled in all 5 of our children and our son-in-law (yes, we are still "educating" him) is the importance in reading and making certain they read quality books, not gibberish. Our daughters just finished reading the unabridged edition of Robinson Crusoe.

Charlotte Mason is probably the best guiding light for what we are doing. She was right on target with learning models as far as we are concerned.

You may want to look into Designing Your Own Classical Curriculum by Laura M. Berquist. She has an extensive reading list and even has it broken down by grades. I'm working on a spreadsheet with them, so I can check what the library has versus what I have versus what I need to buy...

Charlotte Mason bump!

Reading the classics and other living books is soooo much more beneficial than the twaddle.
