The longer we homeschool, the less money we spend on it.  This year, we're creating our own curriculum, through using a little of this and a little of that.

This morning, I was delighted to discover a free resource for phonics for my little guy.  Go to Progressive Phonics to download any of their ten phonics books (some books also have flashcards, memory games, and other aids to print out).  I'm a fan of "living books," those books that give a child something to imagine and/or something to learn, but when teaching phonics, you need those little sentences!  The lessons as Progressive Phonics are designed to be short, leaving you time to read aloud the classics to your child, while starting him out by reading little words in little sentences.  Soon enough, he'll be reading the classics to you!

Thanks for being such a great resource for useful websites! I have found several very helpful to me. I believe it was you also, who referred me to Everman's in Pensacola (we moved here recently) and it was just what we were looking for. I appreciate your taking the time to share.
