Home-school Curricula List?
|
Question:
A while back, some wonderful person posted a comprehensive list of
curriculum vendors with their addresses/phone/e-mail, etc. which I saved
to disk. On Monday, I am giving a talk on home-schooling to our church's
women's ministry. Today, my A drive decided to take a vacation :(. Could
someone repost the list...please????
Answer:
I hope this is the list you remembered.

RESOURCES
Not all families choose to follow a curriculum. Families who do, find that
most national homeschooling magazines contain advertisements for curriculum,
as well as supplies and correspondence schools. Local teachers' stores carry
lots of "school" type workbooks.
Many resources can be obtained from your local library free of charge. You
can homeschool on an extremely limited budget by being creative and
resourceful.Garage sales, rummage sales, and secondhand bookstores are good
sources for books, sometimes even textbooks.
