What is this? Blogs? Is that really fair? I mean, isn't this supposed to be about (air quotes) books?
Excellent question, kind sir and/or madam. Yes, this is fair. Books are involved, and it is my humble opinion that this would be a bonanza.
So, I went researching. I got a book from the library about home schooling for free or very little money. I was contemplating buying it, but decided to check out the reviews of this one and similar titles. One of the reviews mentioned www.freelyeducate.com that provides free resources for a variety of subjects. There is a sister site www.frugallyeducate.com that lists great deals that come along.
What I like the most is the free or low cost curriculum! There are some fantastic free sources to legitimately teach K-12 - math, science, language arts, foreign languages, history, and more! These are age-appropriate lessons that can be used by a tutor, teacher, or home schooler.
One of my favorite finds from these sites is www.livemocha.com. It is free language website for just about any language - even ESL! Very similar to Rosetta Stone, a user can even record a few sentences and have a native speaker critique his pronunciation. So cool!
Anyway, I am super excited to find a place that has scoured the internet for real and safe sources and has compiled it into an easy to follow blog.
Do you have any great websites or blogs you are excited about? Dish please!
If you have a bargain book, please share. We love to brag on bargains!
When I saw the note at the top of your blog I was reminded of somethingmy mom and her friends used to do. They would write their comments and thoughts about the book and sign and date their entry (on the inside of the book). Then, they would pass it to a friend who would do the same. No one gave anything away. As a young girl- I loved borrowing my mom's old books and seeing the reviews the book had been given by others!
ReplyDeleteI would love that!
ReplyDeleteWhat great resources for any educator! Thanks for bringing them to our attention. Teachers are only given a pittance to buy materials with so these sites will be very useful. And the language learning one is very cool-- didn't know such a thing existed.
ReplyDeleteThere must be tons of fun and interesting learning opportunies for homeschoolers in the big city-- it'll be an adventure!
