Our family really enjoy Drive Thru History. Drive Thru History is part of the 450+ videos

that are available for students to watch that span multiple academic areas.

The Drive Thru History has episodes in American and Ancient History.

Each episode has summary questions for each episode and answer keys.

There are also online quizzes that your student can take after each episode.

For each grade level you are able to browse through a full line of curriculum. SchoolhouseTeachers.com has available via the site full year long curriculum programs

that will provide your child full academic credit in all academic subjects.

Each course that you click on will give details about the course as well as the below simple

key that gives you a quick lowdown on what will be required for each course.

My 6th grade daughter was working on a fun lesson about inventions. She learned about

bubblegum, cotton candy, glue, Tide Laundry Detergent, Lincoln Logs, and so many

more fun inventions.

To make homeschooling even easier, SchoolhouseTeacher.com has amazing lesson plans

for all of its courses. This will help those that are just dipping their feet into homeschooling

and are needing a bit of extra help. Hey, even seasoned homeschooling parents jump for joy at not having to plan out their child's week's. If you rather not mess with lesson plans don't worry, these are just there for the taking. Many homeschoolers find lesson plans just don't fit into their way of doing school or life. That is okay too. Also, what works for one child may not work for another. Sometimes you may have a child who really thrives on schedules and routine. The beauty of homeschooling is finding what works for your family. SchoolhouseTeacher.com is a great website for so many different

learners and family set-ups.

Another very intimidating aspect of homeschooling is teaching a young child to READ!

Well, SchoolhouseTeachers.com has you covered! There is a full section entitled, Literacy Center, where you as a parent can find a host of materials to guide you in teaching you

young child in learning how to read. The Literacy Center covers pre-readers all of the way to

4th grade reading comprehension.

Many families have a child or children with special needs. Well, SchoolhouseTeachers.com

has you covered. There are so many resources to help your child succeed and help them

academically get to their full potential.

The SchoolhouseTeachers.com site is so very easy to navigate and is exploding with educational courses and helps for students and parents. For those on a shoestring budget, this site definitely going to be a blessing for your family. For the seasoned homeschooler that prefers traditional textbook or your favorite publisher. I encourage you to give SchoolhouseTeachers.com a try. There are so many wonderful gems on this site.

EVERY SUBJECT...EVERY GRADE...EVERY STUDENT
