Welcome to RainbowResource.com — Learning Tools for Homes and Schools Serving Home Educators Since 1989

Mix in ½ part practical advice, ¼ part anecdote and “how we did it” and ¼ part joyful encouragement and you have Beyond Survival. Diana Waring’s contagious good humor and “you can do it” attitude will rekindle your passion for homeschooling if you’re a veteran or get you off to a great start if you’re just beginning. Filled with wonderful advice and served with humility, it is empowering without being preachy. The atmosphere is one of a loving friend coaching you through the nuts and bolts (and joy!) of teaching at home. Learning styles of both student and teacher are discussed in depth, with common sense advice for using this knowledge in fitting materials and methods to your family. Many, many books and resources are recommended throughout, and it is apparent that Diana practices what she preaches. She is a master storyteller, continually helping you understand her message via analogy and imagery - which makes for extremely interesting reading. After reading Diana’s advice on evaluating materials used in homeschooling, it struck me that her book fills the prescription: it’s “painless” learning; it’s filled with useful knowledge and information; and, it’s extremely interesting, exciting, and pleasurable to consume. If you read any new book about homeschooling this year, treat yourself to this one.
