Are you starting homeschooling and feeling completely overwhelmed? Don’t panic! Grab a cup of coffee, a pen and paper, and come make a plan with me on what to use for curriculum, how to understand and teach your child successfully, and more!
1. Before you do anything, check out this post, “How to Get Started Homeschooling,” by clicking HERE or on the image below! This is my top post and the first one you should start with.
2. The Master Homeschool Curriculum List is number two on my list. Once you are a bit more comfortable of what your state/provincial requirements are, you need to figure out what curriculum suits you. This is a master list with links so you can just click and check it out! CLICK HERE or on the image to take a peek at that page!

3. Now that you have an idea of what kind of curriculum is out there, the next step is to choose what will work best for your family. Before you take the jump (it is a HUGE investment and it sucks to make a mistake), check out this post on Choosing Curriculum and the top 5 questions you need to ask before you make any big purchases. CLICK HERE or on the image to see that post!
4. Now, the biggest and BEST resource I can offer to new (and not so new) homeschoolers is the Learning Style Quiz. I put together a simple and accurate learning style quiz to help you determine your children’s learning styles. I ALSO have a post on the best way to target your homeschooling to each child’s learning style and the top resources/curriculum I recommend along the way. Start with the learning style quiz by CLICKING HERE (or the image) and take a look at the links within the article to find out the best way to teach your child!

5. If you are just floundering, take a look at our 2015/2016 curriculum picks. We have tried a TON of curriculum and every year it is different, but this is what we are using this year:
