Can anyone recommend a cheap yet good homeschooling curriculum?
Posted on 2009 under homeschooling curriculum | 4 Comments23 Nov
I am new to homeschooling and will have 3 children to teach. I am looking for an inexpensive yet very good curriculum. I have researched some and am thinking about A2. If anyone has used this or knows of good ones I would appreciate any help. THANKS!
This is our first year as well and I decided not to go with a complete curriculum as both of my daughters have some subjects in which they perform very well and others in which they are a little behind. Luckily we have a very good used book store in our area that has an extensive educational section and I have been able to pick and choose subject by subject what will work best for us. The best part is that I have spent less than $200 total for the vast majority of the school year’s supplies (we’ll need a few more pieces of literature later in the year) for both girls.

I’ve linked you to a website with multiple reviews of many curriculum choices. http://www.homeschoolreviews.com/reviews/curriculum/showall.aspx
One thing you might want to look into is Unit Studies: http://homeschooling.gomilpitas.com/methods/Units.htm Unit studies can be done for free just by using your local library.
All the best.

Best I found after a lot of research is Christian Liberty Press . Very affordable and strong academics . The workbooks are simple but do the job .
See samples here http://www.christianbook.com , however ,
you can buy it cheaper on their website

Look up "Ambleside Online." Everyone I know using this reports positive things. The kids are happy to learn and are actually learning. What more do we need?
Very cheap. You don’t need to pay to use the site, and most of their recommended books are available free online.
