There are many different teaching methods and materials that are available to homeschooling parents

Agreed. There is a lot of software available, as well as vast amounts of printed material, teaching aids, etc.
One of the best resources we have found is a book called "The Well-Trained Mind". It is an incredible resource for home-schoolers and public-schoolers who want to make sure their children are getting a well-balanced education.

Thanks for mentioning The Well Trained Mind which I join in recommending for all parents.

It advocates the Classical Method of education... the kind that Thomas Jefferson had... plenty of emphasis on the classics and classical language.

This is the book that has inspired us to include Latin next year in our fourth grade homeschool.
