FREE AND LOW COST HOMESCHOOLING

In the process of becoming a seasoned homeschool mom I've found many free or low cost ways to educate our children. I've acquired quite the list and today feel the need to pass it along to my blog friends. :-)

I hope this helps someone trying to pinch a penny. :-)

FREE PLACEMENT TEST: We use it to find learning gaps at the beginning
of each school year. It will take AT LEAST a week to do all of the
work. No matter what grade our child is in they begin with the
lowest grade level and work their way up until they no longer know
what's going on. **You do have to fill out the online form but the
test is downloaded for free and it can be used over and over once
it's on your computer.

If you go to edhelper.com and spend $19.99 - $39.99 you will find
everything you need to teach children for an entire year...
Grades K - 12th.

They have the daily review skills packets that you can print off and
have the kids complete daily or weekly.
(I'd recommend 1 packet every 3 days. They are pretty challenging sometimes.
Internet use will be useful for research.) This is good for K thru 12th grade also.
