 The library is where I got mine from.  It talked about how to do it and
 gave info on all different kinds of curriculums.  I don't recall the
 name of the book, but it won't hurt for her just to go and look up 
homeschool-

 Writing a report at six is very good.  Jeremy is 9 and a report is 4
 sentences.  Of course his ADHD helps with that.
 I probably still would have a problem.  I like doing things on my own.
