One of the FAQ I hear again
& again from beginning
homeschoolers is, "Where do I get books?"
There are so many sources, that I couldn't
possibly
list them all.. but this should get
you started.
One of the most comprehensive and affordable
sources is
You can browse online or request a catalog
and browse
at home first (be prepared!.. this catalog is HUGE,
not colorful and exciting .. but HUGE).
They have most of the popular curriculums
plus lots of suppliments.
Personally, I really like Rod & Staff's
math..
and some of their other stuff. They have all the elementary grades of texts and
are
beginning to work on high school level
texts.
They are more affordable than some of the more popular texts..
but I find them at least as good of an education for my
kids if not better. They do NOT have their own website though.. so you can go to the UNOFFICIAL SITE,
or call for a catalog (606)
522-4348
or, you can even request
their free samples for each
grade level you are interested in.
And here is another site that sells their
isn't only for music and inspirational
books, they also have a homeschooling
section.
CBD carries many of the most popular
curriculums
(Saxon, BJU, Handwriting w/o Tears, Spelling Power,
SOS, LifePacs, Apologia, and more)
so I better include them as well.
:^)
also comes with a text) math series.
but they have some nice add-ins!
My kids and I really liked their
History Kits!
to find science things
(experiment kits, microscopes, lab equipment,...)
along with books and a magazine.
that coverhistory
in a chronilogical order
(which is how we do
it in our home).
You can find The Noah Plan Here, a learning system that is based on this Christian heritage,
the bible, and the original Noah Webster dictionary; A classical education program referred to as the principal approach.
Some living books and study guides are also available on this sit.
