If you’ve found yourself teaching your kids at home, or something like that, don’t feel like it’s all worksheets and websites. Something most non-homeschoolers don’t realize is that we have hundreds more options for curriculum and resources than any public school. Why? Because our materials don’t have to be approved by the state.
The curriculum companies themselves number in the hundreds, offering something for everyone on the spectrum, from traditional textbooks to hands-on science kits, art lessons, dozens of methods for teaching history and language arts, and something for every parenting style.
Besides formal curriculum, the internet is awash in parent- and teacher-created lessons. A quick Google or Pinterest search for just about any topic/lesson will help you find what you’re looking for.
So let me just give you an inkling of what’s out there, broken down by age.
