* Phonics Pathways: This book was a game changer in our home. We tried 3 other “teaching books” for reading and they all ended in tears. This book is SO much easier and flows better. Just one page a day and my son was reading in less than 3 months. Can’t recommend this book enough!
* Teach Your Monster To Read: This was such a fun reading game for my son to practice all of his new reading skills. It’s 100% free and kids seem to REALLY enjoy teaching their little monsters how to read.
Both of these curriculum packs are ones that I created myself for busy homeschooling parents. I felt so overwhelmed planning out curriculum. It literally took up HOURS of my time each week. So I created these easy to follow print and go curriculum where there is ZERO planning on your part. ENJOY your homeschool and stress less!

* Homeschooling 101 is a great course for those just starting out. It covers all the basics on how to get started, figuring out your child’s learning style and more!

It covers meal planning, house cleaning systems, finding “me time”, and SO much more. Find the balance you crave so you can enjoy this time with your precious little ones!
* Timberdoodle: I’ve used this curriculum every year since my son hit first grade. I love that it’s all hands on and that it’s SO easy to follow. This is a boxed set so it includes everything you need for the year. Super easy!

* Accellus (Power Homeschool): This is a complete online homeschool curriculum. It’s $25 a month and includes lots of subject options. I use this on my sick days and to help fill in any missing gaps in our other curriculum. I love it because there are actual teachers in the videos that teach your children all of these concepts, sometimes in a better way than I can myself. As the parent you also have access to all of your child’s lesson reports and extra printable worksheets.
There are so many things to navigate in the homeschooling world. Sometimes you just need a little insight from someone who has already been there. I hope you found this helpful. Happy homeschooling!
