Sonlight Homeschool Curriculum Review and Money-saving Tips

Sonlight's motto is "The way you wish you'd been taught, guaranteed!" They are so right. I love reading books, discussing books, thinking about books, and this love has been passed on to my children. To immerse yourself in a thought-provoking, sitting-on-the-edge-of-your-seat book does more to make history personal than a hundred hours of boring lectures, or pages and pages of workbooks or "busy work". The Sonlight Instructor's Guide presents everything for you, if you wish to follow a...

What a neat website! I am not a homeschooling parent, but as a former teacher, I can completely see the benefits of using Qwizzy's World in a classroom setting as well as in a homeschool environment.

Explode the Code Workbooks (all levels) - Homeschool Curriculum ...

My children, now aged 13, 10, and 9, have worked through countless Explode the Code workbooks over the last 7 years. These books have have become my go-to workbooks to reinforce phonics skills, some language rules, and spelling. I do not use it as a stand-alone English program, but it's a GREAT supplement. My kids never complain at having to work through the books; yet I believe the workbooks have provided concrete language and writing skills. The portion in which the student has to read two...

Saxon Home School Curriculum Review

I used Saxon home school curriculum for my daughter when she was doing 3rd grade math. She is a visual learner and does well with manipulatives. While she loved the curriculum because of this, I found it difficult because each lesson took so much time to prepare. During the year that we used it, I found myself looking for shortcuts or preparing several lessons at once so we could skip the preliminaries. She learned well with the program, but our schedule did not allow us to complete the whole...

I'm writing to talk about a wonderful new homeschool store that has opened its doors in The Woodlands, Tx. It's called The Homeschool House. The owner, Amy Dupree, is so knowledgeable about the different curriculum that she carries, and has prices that are comparable to other homeschool stores... however, she does something that I haven't run into at any other homeschool store.
