Last year I shared with you my Homeschool for FREE list and then updated it in January this year. I have been feeling a little frustrated with it's length and it's been difficult to find the information I want in it so this week I will be sharing shorter lists divided into subject areas.
With the advent of the internet and the generosity of many homeschool mothers there are some amazing resources available for us today.

ReplyDelete'Thanks for sharing this article. Bye the way, I love Khan Academy because the math videos are absolutely amazing. I read it on another blog that 90% of the videos are taken in a single shot. Just imagine, how much hard work these guys are putting in.
