Starting Points for new homeschoolers (Charlotte Mason method)

First, you need to make sure your children don't have an discipline issues. Homeschooling can be very frustrating with behavior problems to deal with as well.

To Train Up a Child Book. VERY GOOD! (Practical)

I am not big on workbooks, but they are good for some things. I love the Kumon workbooks (you can get them through Rainbow Resouce) and the following:

Rod & Staff Preschool Series of Workbooks
http://www.rainbowresource.com/product/Set+of+7+Preschool+ABC+Books/004290/1221154524-1558361

Explode the Code Workbooks (I also own these learning to read/spell workbooks. I use them every year) (There are more than this one I am showing you. There are 3 for pre-k and then books 1-8 for older kids until they learn to read well. The teachers guides are completely unnecessary for books 1-8.
