Choosing curriculum can be a challenging task. How do you choose the right one for your child? Before jumping in and buying a curriculum, it is a good idea to research different types of homeschooling. Once you have an idea what kind of homeschool you would like to setup, then you can narrow down what curriculum might be a good fit for your family.
There are tons of free information online but if you are looking for a book that can help guide you, we highly recommend Cathy Duffy’s book 102 Top Picks for Homeschool Curriculum. This book has surveys to help you determine your homeschool style, your teaching style and your child’s learning style. The latests edition of the book can be bought via Cathy Duffy’s website and Amazon. Copies are also available for loan through the New Brunswick Public Library system.
Take some time to learn about your child’s learning preferences. Read up on it here.
Learning about various education methods will help you narrow down what kind of curriculum to look for. Check out different methods here.
