Free Homeschool Curriculum & Resources

DIRECTORY OF FREE HOMESCHOOL CURRICULUM & RESOURCES

 

Can't find a link that used to be here?  I did some housekeeping to keep the main list down to a reasonable length.  All removed links are in this post.

DISCOUNTED INTERNET & COMPUTERS

Obviously not free, but enormously useful.

USA:
EveryoneOn -- search available discount internet access programs for income eligible households.  Some also offer computers for $150.
PCs for People -- offers mobile internet (4G LTE) for as little as $10/mo (pre-paid) and computers.  A computer requires a modest donation.  This program has more generous eligibility guidelines than other programs (you need to make under 200% of the federal poverty level or be using SNAP, etc.).  I have personally purchased a computer through this program and highly recommend them.

CANADA:
Computers for Schools - free or discounted computers.

Love this list! Thank you for compiling all of these wonderful resources. Guest Hollow also has several free curriculum for history and science. I haven't checked it out too much, but I am looking for my almost 4th grader now.

A two year history and geography curriculum.

This is liberal and modern, and a nice capstone/supplement to a vintage-heavy history and geography curriculum.

[Hunter]

Survivor Library has a lot of public domain textbooks broken up by subject.

http://www.survivorlibrary.com/?page_id=1014

 

African Waldorf. Scroll down to the English downloads. All subjects including math.

Newspapers in Education

http://www.nieteacher.org

There are lots of math books, but my favorites are the math sections included in the multi-subject books

http://www.nieteacher.org/#elmsmulti

And the financial literacy

Again great supplements to an otherwise vintage-heavy curriculum.

The author of Alpha-Phonics wrote this arithmetic curriculum. I like this as the spine, then add the vintage for extra drill, and waldorf and newspapers in education if/when mom has time.

New York Times 5 Themes of Geography worksheets. These can be used over and over and over for years, and for more than newspaper stories.

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://nytimesinschool.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Geography.pdf&ved=0ahUKEwi3oeX5pKDSAhVCKiYKHejmC-EQFghVMBA&usg=AFQjCNFfPVsN9pMAdArUSmbnuq4TSVYhKw

 

I know I am a broken record, but again, this fills in holes of a vintage-heavy curriculum.

 

If mom doesn't have a printer for the generic worksheets, she can use the questions for discussion.

[Hunter]

For months I have not been able to find the New York Times curriculum guides main page. I finally found it today.

 

http://nytimesinschool.com/ny-times-teacher-resources/ny-times-newspaper-in-education/

 

As well as the geography guide I linked above, I really like the economics one, too.

 

There is also high school English and theater, civics and human rights, and science.

 

So much "free" stuff requires home wifi and a printer. These have been useful to me on just a tablet, and as I said earlier are not vintage.

 

I think I bookmarked the page. My old bookmark shows a slightly different address. I think they moved them.

[fralala]

Thanks for sharing your list! I'm off to explore several of the links I hadn't seen before...

 

I did not see the Core Knowledge History and Geography and Language Arts curricula on your list, which contain a sequence of history, literature, and science-themed lessons for elementary school, aligned to current standards.

Love this: "Both Sides of the Issue" I think mainstream news for adults could use more of this.  (Thanks for sharing this resource!)

 

To assist teachers in presenting a balanced lesson on some of the issues that John Stossel addresses, we have paired short videos that present an opposing view.

Just found something new to me :)  Discovery K12 is complete, secular and the student accounts are free.  The way it's set up kind of reminds me of a secular Easy Peasy.  

[shinyhappypeople]

In search of:  writing programs and resources for younger, middles, and older students.  It might be set up like a traditional curriculum, be a series of youtube videos, free e-books, a web site with tutorials, etc.  

 

So, if you have a friend who is broke and needs help teaching a child to write, where might she go for help?

Just found out about this: Comcast Internet Essentials program offers high speed internet service for $9.95/mo to low income families.  If you have a child in public school participating in the National School Lunch Program, your family will qualify.  Students in homeschools or private schools have to show proof that the family is on SNAP, TANF, etc.  In other words, the income guidelines are *much* stricter for these families.   :(

I think Word Mastery available from Don Potter is the best free phonics resource that is easy to use. It goes up to a 3rd grade level and starts with the letters that are easiest to blend, it is very well designed.

 

(While my favorite is Webster's Speller, it is not easy to use.)

Classics for a High School Transcript: Fiction

It is entirely possible to craft a high school literature course of study using free public domain ebooks.
