I was recently pondering how blessed we are to have such fantastic homeschool resources in our home. And I also started thinking about what would happen if we lost all of that. How would we homeschool if we had none of those books on hand? And although it would be quite inconvenient not to have books or any purchased curriculum, I decided that with an Internet connection, a printer, and our Kindles, we could manage with free online resources.

Here is an outline of what I would use for homeschool if I had no money for curriculum and nothing on hand. Free Language Arts Curriculum Read books from the library or download free Newbery Medal Winners (PDF) at Learner’s Library (scroll to bottom of page) and use these reader’s guides:

• Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario Novel Study Guides
• Glencoe Literature Library study guides
• Reading Units
• Daily Grammar Lessons Archive
• Scott Foresman Grammar & Writing(grades 1-6)
• Sentence Patterns& DIY Writing Curriculum
• Writing Prompts(the parent site LearningExpress has some fantastic high school and college prep resources)

  Free Math Curriculum

• XP Math(4th & 5th grades)
• Public Schools of NC Math for K-5th grades or  6th-8th grades
• PASS(middle school and high school)
• Comprehensive School Mathematics Program(K-6th grades)

Free Science Curriculum

• Prentice Hall Science Explorer— life, earth, and physical science (middle school)
• PASS(middle school and high school)
• Middle School Chemistry(for 6th, 7th, and 8th grades)

As someone on a budget, I can also recommend using your local library, or do like I do, and catch the semi-annual used library book sale. Ours always has a lot of old school books, including teacher’s guides as well as workbooks, for very low prices. By low, I mean WAY cheaper than what you will find on Ebay. To top it off, I’ve even noticed that our local Dollar Tree stores have some schooling supplies for younger elementary grades. Usually up to 3^rd or 4^th grade from what I’ve noticed!

What free resources do you use? What would you use if you had no money for homeschool curriculum?
