You’ve been pinged because you either contributed to this list at some point or expressed an interest. (My apologies if I missed anyone.) Or, your ping list and contact name might have been added.

The educational resources many of you recommended on the last forum have been added to this newly updated list. Thank you!

Hi, you can add me to your ping list.

Homeschooling for 15 years; still have three kids “in class.”

Happy to help anyone with questions. (I’m in California).

Recommended curriculum that I see listed above: Spelling Power (I start that in 2nd grade and use regular Phonics before that), Apologia Science (ALL their Science - start after your kid has about 7th grade math skills). Saxon Math I start at 4th or 5th grade (Saxon 54).

Recommended curriculum I didn’t see listed above:

The Learnables for any foreign language.

Daily Grams for Grammar.

The Winston Grammar program, especially for kids who learn “kinesthetically.”

Modern Curriculum Press’ “Adventures In Phonics” to teach reading.

Modern Curriculum Press’ Math for grades K-3.

A Beka British and American Literature for the jr. high and high schoolers.

“Economics In One Lesson” and “Whatever Happened to Penny Candy” for high school economics.

I like to teach high school history by having my kids read biographies of great men and women from history. This gives them some proper if imperfect heroes, and teaches history in context.

I like to supplement a basic world history course in jr. high with Henty’s historical fiction.
