I recently read an article in Back Home magazine that listed the following resources for finding free and very inexpensive home schooling materials. I have not yet personally utilized these resources, but thought I'd share anyway ... Math, Reading & Grammer K-4 Teacher's Helper - P.O. Box 51111, Boulder, CO 80323-1111 Literature K-4 Book Bag - P.O. Box 9340, Red Oak, IA 51591-3340 Literature 3-8 Magic Dragon - P.O.Box 687, Webster, NY 14580 Science K- High School National Science Teacher's Association - 1840 Wilson Blvd., Arlington, VA 22201-3000 / www.nsta.orgClassroom Management & Organizational Ideas The Mailbox - P.O.

It is my understanding that all these resources have free items but also have very inexpensive items. I have not yet accessed the information myself.

How about Old Fashioned Education? www.oldfashionededucation.comI use it for Sky this year and it's really nice, and free, except for the cost of printing the books. If you already had some of the books, or could find them cheap, that would be workable as well. We have learned a lot this year by using it!

I second OFE and I have been able to get most of the books free or really cheap at second hand and garage sales.
