NotSoObvious Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Spelling Workout or Singapore? I hate buying (then waiting) for things online. What about other curriculum? Is there anything you buy in an actual store? We are in Southern California right now, so all of L.A. is at my fingertips. Anywhere???

MeganW Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Lakeshore is more of a teacher supply. Our Barnes & Noble has a homeschool section - I don't know if that's in all of them, or just b/c we have a large HS population here. Do you have a local HS store? Most places with larger HS populations do, but someone from your area would have to help you find it as they are in individual stores, not a chain.

Mom22ns Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Do you have Mardel's? They are a Christian book store with a large homeschool section. I also have another non-chain Christian book store in the area that caries a lot of homeschool materials. You could look for Christian book stores then call and see if they have homeschool materials. This can work even for secular materials. The Christian bookstores support homeschooling in general and may have any materials that are specifically made for homeschoolers, not just those from Christian publishers.

KristenR Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I find some things at Barnes and Noble. There is also a local christian bookstore where they have a huge selection of homeschool supplies and curriculum. Most of it (obviously) comes from a biblical worldview but they also carry some secular resources as well (like Explode the Code and some math workbooks) Also, for non curriculum things but resources like posters, manipulatives, pencils and such I always bank at the dollar store. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallorie Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Our B&N has Singapore, but not Spelling Workout. I actually did find a bunch of SWB materials there, too, like the Well-Trained Mind, FLL, WWE, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Wife Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Be very careful when buying "Singapore" workbooks at B&N because the ones most B&N stores carry are not from the Primary Mathematics series. The publisher for true Singapore is Marshall Cavendish and they have covers with pictures of children playing on numbers. If you see something at B&N with a white cover and a large number published by Frank Cavendish, that is *NOT* true Singapore but a "dumbed-down" copycat.

SorrelZG Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I have an actual real homeschool supply store locally and a homeschool consignment store as well. Perhaps try the yellow pages? Surely there has to be at least ONE in all of LA .... I would like to hope! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
