I am looking for a list of books in any and all subjects that people have had their kids read or maybe that were in used in a home school curriculum. I have started a thread a bit like this before but those were just asking for one or two book suggestions.

I am hoping that someone that has home schooled or something similar would be gracious enough to upload or copy/paste the list of books they for courses

thanks in advance
 
Here is a little physics for free.

Light and Matter: open-source physics textbooks

I wish someone had given me something like this when I was in 7th grade.

teach yourself electricity and electronics

Here is a very different approach to science education.

Another list I found because of Citizen of the Galaxy.

How the World Works---A Reading List

Project Gutenberg has lots of free science fiction from the 50s and 60s but most of it is not very good. Modern science fiction is often not as scientific as that old stuff though. Is there any science in Star Wars?

There is a classic old set of books called "My Bookhouse" edited by Olive Beaupre Miller that are popular for teaching kids to read. The first volume consists of nursery rhymes and stories suitable for a new reader. Subsequent volumes are more challenging. My Dad had an older 6 volume set when he was a boy - which my siblings and I loved when we were kids.

I think the PBS "John Adams" Series would be fine

a chapter or two from Machiavelli's "The Prince"
 
I think home schooling (in the modern world) is anti human, anti social, and anti democratic, but that said here is an interesting list (below). One thing you'll find with children is they have short attention spans - dependent on age of course. This morning I read almost all the stories in the following (not PC) book to my granddaughter, she actually sat still and listened.

"If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales." Albert Einstein

If the goal is to protect the child from reality then I am not sure what books are useful, but this is a good list and I have read some to our children and grandchildren, who are perfect like their parents. ;)

Grade and subject matter?

Pretty hard to just spew out good books without knowing for whom, know what I mean?

And I think you are willfully ignorant about homeschooling in the modern world.

Barilla - FamilyEducation.com
 
Your best bet to get them interested in reading is to turn them loose. Comic books are a good place to start with children of any age, and then figure out what genre/subject they are interested in.
 
Reading out loud to them is even better - especially a book that will cause them to aspire to be able to read it on their own.
 
Later on, when the time comes to teach them Geometry and Calculus if you're still homeschooling you should check out Geobegra and Wolfram Alpha. Both are online math resources that can be very useful for teaching math concepts. Geogebra has a wiki chock full of worksheets and java apps that illustrates things like Slopes of Lines, Distance, measurements, etc. That can be useful even for middle school math.
 
If you don't want them to " grow up" as murkins ?
The Foxfire series from the sixties.

A person that knows a majority of that series will be idiot proof and survive well in the " future" at hand.

Check out the KhanAcademy.org This is not a 'book' as you requested but provides the teacher in home schooling some essentials (and a good deal beyond essentials). Most curious people long out of college will enjoy this link.
 
a separate peace ...knowles

the redwall series brian jacques...

^^ good for all ages

at around 12 ish..start them on the classics...

no one reads classics anymore....things like 'to kill a mockingbird'

tom sawyer and of course shakespeare
 
Here is a reason why young kids should have netbooks.

E-readers can't do enough but they will work for these.

How did Rumplestiltzkin get translated into English? Heard of Andrew Lang?

This is not the complete list of tales, there are more than 400.
Almost EIGHT MEGABYTES of e-stories. Too bad they aren't sorted by subject or lesson.

Beauty And The Beast
Cinderella, Or The Little Glass Slipper
East Of The Sun And West Of The Moon
Enchanted Ring
Fisherman And His Wife
Five Wise Words of the Guru
Flower Queen's Daughter
Flying Ship
Hansel And Grettel
Jack And The Beanstalk
Jack The Giant-Killer
Magic Mirror
Master Cat; Or, Puss In Boots
Mohammed with the Magic Finger
Pinkel the Thief
Pretty Goldilocks
Prince And The Dragon
Rapunzel
Rumpelstiltzkin
Samba the Coward
Satin Surgeon
Swineherd
Three Bears
Ugly Duckling
Voyage To Lilliput
Water of Life
Wounded Lion
Young Man Who Would Have His Eyes Opened
Youth Who Set Out To Learn What Fear Was

Of course science fiction is better after 3rd grade. The kids will have to grow up and deal with the technology of the future. My teachers did not get that in the 60s. It is more obvious now.

One of the primary complaints teachers today have of students is a lack of respect both for learning and for people, including the teachers. American society after WWII turned back to the individual and away from a more social society. We lost our neighborhoods through sprawl and created unease and waste through dependence on carbon fuels. It is a curious irony that the nations we defeated in WW2 moved closer to a social worldview while we again strayed into narcissism and isolation. For me home schooling (HS) is an aberration - not necessarily bad - that is often religious based, similar to the Amish or to Islamic fundamentalists. If the home is a place in which image and reality are matched, and the parents serve as examples then HS is already done and life in the real world becomes an alternate universe in which one recognizes the other and learns cooperation and tolerance.
