Homeschool Resources for Parents

Posted by Jenny Evans Sep 6, 2009

Is there any job more demanding for parents than homeschooling? It requires an extreme amount of organization to design your own homeschool curriculum, in addition to being a full-time teacher, parent, and housekeeper. It's no wonder that most homeschool parents feel like they never get a minute to themselves - they don't!

That being said, the job is incredibly rewarding, or so many parents wouldn't do it. (There are 1.1 million homeschooled kids in the U.S., as a matter of fact.)

Parents struggling with the challenge of designing a homeschool curriculum might benefit from taking a look at resources like Five in a Row or virtual schools. Other helps in creating a homeschool lesson plan for primary school are:

• Games and Activities for Pre-Reading Skills
• Teaching Letter Sounds
• Letter of the Day Activities and Crafts for Homeschool
• Teaching Kids to Read 3-Letter Words and Beyond
• Lessons in Number Recognition
