Eclectic homeschooling

This is a method of homeschooling that is close to my heart because it is how my dd and I started out with homeschooling before finding out that we do much better as unschoolers. Basically, in eclectic homeschooling, the child does not do work out of 1 set of traditional books. Instead, the child has a variety of sources available to them to use. These sources can range from traditional textbooks to library books. Regardless of what they are, these are things that the parents have decided will work best for their children. As such, the parents have a real opportunity to be able to personalize their teaching style to what best suits their child. This is done so that children will more likely enjoy themselves, thus enabling them to learn more. Of course, this approach may not work for everyone because some parents really need more organization than is available here.
