Cindy Rushton

 


Cindy Rushton has quite a following. She has lots of materials that greatly bless and encourage the homeschool community. Many of her books are part of a series "The Easy way". Personally, I have owned Notebooking, You Can Be A Binder Queen. It was a great book and got me thinking about homeschooling in different ways than I had been. The way she writes is very energetic. She has different classes and bundles going on sale all the time. A few neat things Cindy has are Training Sons Training Daughters and Organized Mom Super Set and stuff on writing.


Anyway, her stuff is very reasonable, but she does have a freebies page!


Free lapbooks each week

 


 


Fabulous lapbook freebies every Monday afternoon and then many times in between. Not every week is a lapbook for free, but there is a great freebie every week. Often you will get a free Hands Of A Child lapbook project pack or other great brand name.


If you subscribe to their emails, you will get special notices on their cool specials and even mega freebie weeks (or days). Every Mother's Day they have something like this and at other times during the year.


Great Lapbooks for free


 

Charlotte Mason inspiration


Aside form Unit Studies, a Charlotte Mason type of homeschooling is one of the most inexpensive and offers lots of learning that still is fun. In fact, most unit studies that I know of, incorporate many of the ideas that a CM education affords.

HOMESCHOOL READING LISTS

 


Proabaly the most famous homeschool reading list:



1000 Good Books List


 




Other great lists:


http://www.homeschoolinsights.com/BK2.html



http://www.tamora-pierce.com/recbooks/homeschool.htm



http://homeschooling.gomilpitas.com/articles/122997.htm





Great reading lists can be in catalogs you get in the mail from curriculum suppliers... especially unit study or other literature based curricula. Just take the recommended reading or required reading books such as historical fiction or historical nonfiction books, science-y books and make alist of the ones you want your children to read. Many can be found at the library, but frankly, the really good stuff is Christian and your library will not have it.



For example, books by GA Henty, Bethlehem Books, Ballantyne Books, Landmark, Chuck Black, Castleberry Books, Grace & Truth books selections and such!
