Homeschool can get really expensive. But the great news is it can also be relatively free!
Read the updated post, here, featuring over 60 FREE legitimate homeschool deals you’ll actually use.
Here are twenty FREE resources to help you save some coins this upcoming school year. Of course, most of these resources require you to at least have access to a printer and some ink. Other than that, all you really need are some basic school supplies.
Taking advantage of free curricula is a great way to test what types of subjects, lesson plans, and teaching styles help your child thrive best. It is also a great way to save money for what really matters—lots of field-trips, adventures, and social opportunities!
So, without further ado:
