"How Children Learn at Home is an important contribution to the research on natural learning and yet is very readable and accessible to non-academicsWhether you are a natural learner, are considering natural learning or just interested in how it works-this book will illuminate what natural learning is and how effective it can be. I can't recommend this book highly enough. Reading it will help home educators recognise and appreciate the natural learning going on in their homes-whether natural learning is their home education method or not"Susan Wright, Home Education Network, 2008
