One trick I do when these things come up is I use it to encourage my kids to read. I'll tell them they get to pick one book. Just one. That's their mission. This way they have to READ through the descriptions and summaries. Of course, you have to watch over them, but you will get a lot of insight into what interests them.

The difference is that at the library or book store they can browse visually looking at covers. This requires READING because they can't pick the book up, they need to READ the descriptions and summaries. How cool is that.

Also don't forget that you can return books to Amazon really easily. I've done it quite often when what I ordered wasn't as expected.

It's finally come online! I know they've been working on it for a long time, and it was a HUGE project.

eFantasmic.com has loaded up over 100 different curriculum, and more is coming. It's all in electronic format, so you can instantly download it.

My son was doing some the other day (as soon as the first ones were available), and it's a really neat concept. I'm going to use almost all of them.

Here's the best part, it's all based on library materials! So you don't need to buy expensive text books, it's all materials you can get your hands on quickly.

Plus, it's designed for us homeschoolers! What this means to you is that all the curriculum you do you with your child (including discussions) is all documented, so you have proof of everything you do.

Here's the link to go take a look: www.eFantasmic.com
 

Now here's the deal.

They are offering a subscription to the entire collection of curriculum, making it less than $1 per curriculum. Now that's a price that appeals to me.

But it's a limited offer. They are offering 50% OFF, that's what makes it less than $1 per curriculum. And this offer is only while they are still loading curriculum onto the site. Once the first batch is finished uploading, the price goes back to double.

It covers lots of stuff from history, science, chemistry, biology, fun stuff, you name... it's there. All the DK EyeWitness books are there, lots of National Geographic, Early Readers, Magic School Bus, Andrew Lost, Magic Tree House, Dear America History series, American Girl, and even Goosebumps and some other fun ones.

Here is URL: Go and check it out. If there are several titles that you would want, then the subscription is definitely worth it!
