If so, it may be time to take charge of your child's education by doing it yourself\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eThe Well-Trained Mind\u003c\/em\u003e will instruct you, step by step, on how to give your child an academically rigorous, comprehensive education from preschool through high school--one that will train him or her to read, to think, to understand, to be well-rounded and curious about learning. Veteran home educator Susan Wise Bauer outlines the classical pattern of education called the trivium, which organizes learning around the maturing capacity of the child's mind and comprises three stages: the elementary school \"grammar stage,\" when the building blocks of information are absorbed through memorization and rules; the middle school \"logic stage,\" in which the student begins to think more analytically; and the high-school \"rhetoric stage,\" where the student learns to write and speak with force and originality. Using this theory as your model, you'll be able to instruct your child--whether full-time or as a supplement to classroom education--in all levels of reading, writing, history, geography, mathematics, science, foreign languages, rhetoric, logic, art, and music, regardless of your own aptitude in those subjects. A new optional Resource Recommendations Portal provides subscribers with curated lists of the best curricula for every grade level and learning style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThousands of parents have already used the methods described in \u003cem\u003eThe Well-Trained Mind\u003c\/em\u003e to create a truly superior education for children in their care.
