Homeschool Curriculum

Cozy English Video Courses on DVD
http://www.splashesfromtheriver.com Multisensory lessons on grammar, punctuation and essay writing by Marie Rackham are carefully designed to target all learning styles.  The student hears the instructor give the lesson at the same time they see the rules appear in colorful print on the screen.  After the concepts are introduced through both visual and auditory presentation on the DVD, they are reinforced tactilely through the written exercises in the workbook.  In addition, the classical piano music playing softly in the background is a selection of compositions that have been performed, arranged, edited, and recorded specifically to facilitate learning. 

 Visit the publisher's website Spashes From the River, Multimedia Entertainment, Inc. for more information and a FREE SPELLING COURSE. 


Math-U-See

http://www.mathusee.com  Another multisensory curriculum.  Lessons on DVD , consumable worktexts and manipulatives.  Math concepts are presented visually and reinforced with manipulatives and worksheets.  Students work on the concept only until they learn it, then they move on to the next concept which builds on the previous concept.

Homeschool Organizations

National Home Education Network
http://www.nhen.org/ The National Home Education Network exists to encourage and facilitate the vital grassroots work of state and local homeschooling organizations and individuals by providing information, fostering networking and promoting public relations on a national level.  NHEN does not attempt to dictate to homeschoolers what they should say or do and does not take "sides" when disagreements arise among homeschoolers themselves, but, instead, provides information on all sides.
