    One HUGE recomendation for older kids especially is to utilize subscription databases, these are expensive but most school, college, and public libraries will have several options and be more than willing to share remote access passcodes with a homeschooler. They are great for the obvious research paper sources, to be sure, but these days they are SO much more than that. Many of them offer multimedia results for common searches that include, pictures, audio, video, graphics, etc. along with books, articles, newspapers and primary sources that have been scanned or digitized in other ways! USE your library! It offers so much more than books!

    Thanks for many links to useful educational pages on the web. I really enjoy Khan’s academy videos to help my kids in math and it works very well with fractions worksheets from the site http://www.fractionsworksheets.ca this way kids watch the videos and get some hands on practice on math problems. http://www.math-aids.com is the other one I use to print math worksheets.

    Thanks for the great informational page, as I discovered other resources from this page.

    Thanks Angel-lena! That’s a great point. We haven’t looked into that, but as the kids get older I’ll keep that in mind. We love, love, love our library!
