One of the reasons I decided to homeschool....James Dobson said that if he and his wife were raising their kids today, they'd homeschool! He also described my son's personality to a T as one that most needed to be homeschooled, so as not to be labeled and therefore turned-off by learning.

I have to recommend this because we've used it every year from the start and love it! Both of my kids are testing 3 grade levels above on the spelling section of skills tests. We don't use their record books, just copy the practice sheets in the back and make a binder for each. Great method and it works!
