Saving Money On Homeschooling With Used Homeschool Books

Homeschooling can be a great way to give your kids the education that you feel that they need.

However, buying all the materials that you need in order to do this can get quite expensive, especially when you compare costs to those of having your child attend public school.

There are ways to minimize these expenses though.

You can get some free homeschooling materials online if you know where to look and it is also possible to get used homeschool books in a number of different ways.

You should look into the various types of curriculum to see which you think would suit your family the best, so you have a good idea of what you are looking for.

Many people belong to homeschool groups or associations.

These are a great resource and sometimes if you let it be known that you are looking for used homeschool books, someone in the group will have the books you need and be willing to part with them for a lot less than it would cost you to purchase them from another source.

Sometimes these groups have newsletters that list materials members would like to sell and many hold a curriculum swap to help people get the materials that they need.

The easiest way to find used homeschool books though is to search the internet.

You can check websites such as Craigslist, eBay, and even Amazon for used books.

The Vegsource message board also has a swap section which you can check out.

You will be able to get the best deals if you shop off season, between October and June, so if you know what you are going to want for the coming year it is good to start looking ahead of time.

Regardless of which type of curriculum you are looking for, with options including Saxon, Abeka, Bob Jones, Sonlight and many more, you should be able to find used homeschool books with a little looking around.

Keep in mind that it is useful to get the teaching textbooks as well as the books for the kids to use.

You also want to make sure that any workbooks you buy used are not full of writing already.

You might have to buy the workbooks new and just buy the texts used if you have trouble finding them without writing in them.

Also make sure that you aren't purchasing outdated science books, since these are frequently updated with new information as this field is continually changing.

Should I Give My Homeschool Graduate a Diploma?

By Lee Binz
Giving a diploma can be a very good idea. Not necessary, but a very good idea. There are times in life when kids are asked, "Are you a high school graduate?" And, "Do you have a high school diploma?" Although you can assure them they are a high school graduate, giving them a paper transcript can emphasize the point, so there is no doubt. And although you can assure them they are a high school graduate, having a diploma can remind them to always say YES if asked if they have one.

Piano by Number For Home School

By John Aschenbrenner
There are several "starter" piano methods that may be useful to you in setting up a Home School Piano Program of your own.
