Learn About Everything Homeschooling Related

Learn everything homeschooling for the grades and subjects you will be teaching when you start homeschooling. Do the necessary research using reliable sources on the Internet.

Some other options are to look at books and discuss your plans to homeschool your children with friends or relatives who already teach their children at home.

Since most of us were not schooled at home by our parents, there will be a certain amount of information that will have to be gained "on the job." But, we can surely do all we can to find out as much as possible before getting started.

Common Terms and Phrases

You will want to become familiar with:

• the many different types of home school curriculum choices
• the homeschooling laws for your particular state
• the variety of homeschool methods used
• different forms of homeschool record keeping
• ...and anything else you feel you need to know to succeed

Homeschool Textbooks

There are many available homeschool curriculum suppliers today where you can get your new or used homeschool textbooks and other supplies. Then, you will have to determine which type of resources will work best for your family.

However, for the most part, the following types of home school resources are used:

• traditional student textbooks and separate parent-teacher materials
• consumable worktexts which your children will fill in answers
• a homeschooling online option with varying levels of support
• DVD instruction which you purchase or lease, as in the case of Abeka
• unit study resources such as Weaver by Alpha Omega Publications or Before Five in a Row for preschoolers

You're off to a good start in searching the web for your answers.

The public library will be another helpful source of information and you can borrow relevant books. Some libraries even have a home school section where they loan out home school curriculum!
