Where to Find Free Homeschool Curriculum

I am beginning to think that I am a homeschool curriculum addict since I have a growing collection of digital files and books, but how can I resist when I can find great deals and even get free homeschool curriculum?

First of all, I have to say that homeschool curriculum is an investment into your child’s future. Yes, some curriculum can be expensive but I do not think that the price should stop you from using it.

If you cannot afford an entire line of curriculum, pick and choose your pieces and then supplement with the free resources available on the internet. Choose wisely and remember that your child’s learning styles, cognitive ability and interests should be your main determining factors when choosing homeschool curriculum.

Can I also add… last year we purchased all of our curriculum except for social studies and science because I thought, “I am a well-educated person. I have a college degree and part of a Master’s Degree in Childhood Education. I know what the children need to learn each year based on the scope and sequence published on the local school systems website. I can write this curriculum myself!”

Yeah… that was a very bad idea for me. I did it, but it was hard and took a ton of time. I just enjoy having the majority of the work done for me and knowing that I am not missing any important steps in a particular subject.
