Where can I find free homeschool curriculum?

Question

I plan to homeschool my children. Can anyone give me some good resources for free activity sheets, workbooks, learning games etc.?

To clarify, this question is about WHERE other homeschooling parents get some of their free curriculum; not WHAT I should teach or WHETHER I should homeschool at all. (I've already decided what's best for my children, thankyou!)

Answer 1

First of all I wanted to say, "Bravo" to your additional comments!! It drives me crazy when I see someone asking an honest question about homeschooling and people just get rude about it, even if it's something as simple as a misspelled word in their post (I had one of my old highschool teachers recently ask me how to spell a word, when we ran into each other at the local library. He says he always gets it confused). As for your question there are a lot of sites, just do a search of what you are looking for, ie; free math worksheets, etc. Also, check yahoo groups. They have groups where people list their books, etc. that they no longer need for just the cost of shipping. You can also ask questions or request books that you are looking for. Another place to check if you can't afford curriculum is www.booksamaritan.com They offer free books to families with financial needs. Join a local support group and they can probably help you too. Email me if you want a list of sites, there's too many to list.

www.donnayoung.org
www.enchantedlearning.com ($20 fee for a year to get the pages without ads. this just means when you print a worksheet you wont have advertisements on them pages.)


but i've been homeschooling for 5 years now and there is NO free curriculum. you will have to spend money on some materials. for your children's sake you need to spend a dime or two. i use the ABEKA curriculum and i also do a bit of a classical education.

I'm sure there are many web sites that have such things. But consider why you wanted to home school your children, and perhaps you want to create your own resources, perhaps do things in a different way altogether. Think about that, as well as checking out what you get when you type various topics into a search engine. You will want phonics, no doubt, and some math, and simple beginning readers materials. Look for old children's books in bookstores and libraries, too. For newer materials, I think you could do well on scholastic.com.

Answer 7

There are LOTS of ways to do homeschool for free or really cheap. Look on Ebay for lots of things. Also do a google search for free worksheets. When you start looking on the internet, you'll never stop finding things!!

Answer 8

Just a few, free and cheap activity sheets, worksheets:

I used the "LearningPage.com" when I first got started - and still do from time to time. There are basics worksheets, as well as themed sheets, with several different themes to choose from, which integrate reading, math and science, on several different early elementary levels. Also, for supplimental worksheets and basic information on a variety of topics, I use "enchantedlearning.com", for a low yearly rate.

free activities and learning games, for early readers:
You must try out "starfall.com", which begins with phonics and ABC's and moves up to stories and poems. This page even includes basic lessons in sign language for the ABC's.

Now, find your local group of homeschoolers for support, and keep your motivation in front of you at all times!

That depends where you live. In the UK, the Local Education Authority will help you (they aren't necessarily against home schooling) and can point you to resources, web sites and organisations. I know a man who inspects schools for a living and he also help home-school parents find their resources. Other countries mught be the same - try your local education authority.

Curriculums can also be found online, eg, the UK's national curriculum is to be found at:

and the UK; schemes of work at:

http://www.standards.dfes.gov.uk/schemes3/

Again, other countries probably have these online too.
