Choose Your Homeschool Curriculum with Confidence is a 92-page guide to choosing homeschool curriculum that fits your child, your teaching style, and your real life. It's written by Gregory Melvin, a homeschool dad who owns First Homeschool, a used and new curriculum store in Springdale, Arkansas. You get a PDF, an ePub, and a one-page checklist.
There is no best curriculum. There's the one your kid will actually do at the kitchen table in February. This book is a method for finding it, called the Right-Fit Method.

Will it tell me which curriculum to buy? It won't pick a brand for you. It gives you the questions that narrow the field to two or three, and a way to choose between them.
