Choosing A Curriculum

You don't need to spend a bundle to home educate your child. You can do it with a few texts and a library card! If you are organized, you can lay out your own plan for your kindergarten to eighth grade students using a math text, a grammar text, and library books for science, history, art, reading, and foreign language!

Most beginning homeschoolers are not confident enough to make up their own curricula. If you are in that situation, don't worry!!! There are many "boxed" programs that have all the materials you need in one package. Some vendors even offer teaching assistance, grading service, and on-line consultation.
