Are you looking for free homeschool resources? I’m excited to share some of my favorite free resources that have helped me on my homeschool journey. One of the benefits of homeschooling is that you can teach your child in a variety of different ways. I always recommend homeschool families utilize free resources first before spending money on curriculums, books, and activities. As you begin your homeschool journey, you will figure out what works and what doesn’t work for your family. I have gathered 6 free homeschool resources that include curriculums, worksheets, educational games, and activities.
6 Free Homeschool Resources
The Good and the Beautiful Curriculum
The Good and the Beautiful is a Christian curriculum offering math, language arts, science, history, and electives. I’ve used the Good and the Beautiful curriculum for my son for Preschool, PreK and Kindergarten. I love that the curriculums don’t require any prep time because there are clear instructions within each lesson on what to say to your child as you teach them. With each academic subject there is an emphasis on family, God, nature, and wholesome literature. The curriculum’s kindergarten through 8th grade curriculum is offered as free downloads. There’s also the option to purchase any of the course book sets to be delivered if you prefer not to download them.
