| "Thank you... The information you supply is real and generous - fantastic reading. I am so inspired... Your honesty is rare. Most books do not really explain 'how' as well as you do." Tracy "I cannot seem to get enough of your writings on the whole home ed subject! You portray a lot of wisdom, knowledge and experience..." Marie "A fabulous source of information and inspiration. I am very pleased to have some of your titles on my bookshelf... providing me with wonderful, detailed information and resources." Faye |

Free Online Libraries © Beverley Paine The Baldwin Online Children's Literature Project brings yesterday's classics to today's children. Established a few years ago, The Baldwin Project seeks to make available online a comprehensive collection of resources for parents and teachers of children. Our focus, initially, is on literature for children that is in the public domain in the United States. This includes all works first published before 1923. The period from 1880 or so until 1922 offers a wealth of material in all categories, including: Nursery Rhymes, Fables, Folk Tales, Myths, Legends and Hero Stories, Literary Fairy Tales, Bible Stories, Nature Stories, Biography, History, Fiction, Poetry, Storytelling, Games, and Craft Activities. The Project offer these resources at no charge and grant permission to individuals to print copies for personal and educational uses. ReadPrint.com is a free online library that offers thousands of free books for students, teachers, and the classic enthusiast. To find the book you desire to read, start by looking through the author index. For those who don't like reading, why not get your computer to read the books aloud? I use the speech software that came with my operating system to read back what I've written as it helps to pick up grammatical errors while I'm editing. It sounds funny, but I'm sure there is much better software available that has natural sounding voices. If you don't have time to read aloud every day and you children are happy to sit and listen while doing a quiet activity you can easily set up a chapter of 'The Invisible Man' or 'Little Women'. |

Pioneering members of the home education movement in Australia, Beverley and Robin Paine are passionate advocates of true educational choice for families. They began homeschooling their children in 1986 and three years later started the South Australian Home Based Learners network.
Beverley wrote Getting Started with Homeschooling in 1995-97 and since then continues to write books and booklets on home education. She balances spending time helping home educators with working in her garden and renovating her home, as well as continuing to build her collection of writing on a variety of homeschooling subjects. Beverley maintains an extensive collection of websites as well as several Yahoo groups supporting families teaching their children at home.
In 2007 Beverley joined the HEA and became a committee member in 2008: she also edits and produce the HEA Newsletter, HEA magazine, Stepping Stones for Home Educators, annual Resource Directory and other HEA publications.
