What is a good homeschooling programs online and books?
Posted on 2009 under Uncategorized | 6 Comments22 Sep
For a 7 year old. Who is currently in public school but reads and does math at a 2nd-3rd grade level.
I see lots of different programs I feel overwhelmed.
Is there a site that gives me the refresher courses I need because I never went to college I am just a Stay at home mom .
Is there anything online that compares different homeschooling companies?
Please look at my other questions in the homeschooling section of yahoo answers. I am seperating the questions because I want to give lots of best answers!
Go get Cathy Duffy’s "100 top picks". It has a lot of great info in it on what to pick for your child’s personality and learning style and a lot of info on what is in each curriculum. Homeschooling is trial and error, we seldom do EVERYTHING the same from year to year, and sometimes we find things that are AWESOME!!!. Sonlight curriculum has a great return policy if you are not happy with something too. I pick and choose from different curriculums, I also try to focus on what me kids are interested in, there are some great Unit studies out there. Do not let it overwhelm you, your child WILL learn regardless of what you do!

My daughters attended PA Cyber last year. It’s a great school! I’ve pulled them out because we enjoy the freedom of traditional homeschooling, but if they want to go back once they’re older that would be fine with me.
The staff is excellent and helpful. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in homeschooling but a bit intimidated by having to go it alone.

Try ABEKA Academy. They keep transcripts and are accredited.

In Yahoo Groups, there is a "Homeschool Review" group, where the discussion is mainly about different curricula.
You won’t need a "refresher course", even for elementary age courses. Teacher’s guides/manuals lay it all out for you, including answer keys.
You first want to find out your child’s learning style – then research curricula to match that style. Look at your learning style, too, so you can stay engaged as the instructor. (Some curricula would work well for my son, but not for me.)

I am in PA Cyber Charter. Of course, if you aren’t in Penna., that won’t help, but there is probably an equivalent cyberschool in your area. It’s a great school system, and has plenty of enrichment for gifted children.
