CHOOSING CURRICULUM:

Home education offers the opportunity for craftsmanship in education. Loving parents, not book publishers and school administrators, are the experts at education. Who knows your child better than you? Inquire of people who have experience home-educating. Find out what they use for teaching materials, what they like and don't like about them, and why. If possible, examine the actual materials you are considering, not just a catalog. Read books and articles about home education to broaden your perspective. Pray and ask the Lord for direction.

There is a multitude of material and resources available to homeschoolers today. The following is by no means a complete list of homeschool publishers. However, it includes the most popular publishers (and a few of my favorites) in our area. Most will send you a free catalog upon request.

You may also want to check out the Resource guide available at the Hernando Library.

Used book sales are a great place where curricula and other resources can be obtained at reduced prices from other homeschoolers.  As we find used sales coming, we will add more information on them on the events page.

This past Spring our homeschool group  had its first used book sale.  We're hoping to make it an annual event.   

Also, each Spring the Memphis Home Educator's Association holds a used book sale.
