One of the most challenging aspects of
homeschooling is the Lesson Plan. I would highly recommend to first year
homeschoolers to obtain an all-inclusive curriculum for that first year. Take
the pressure off you and your child and just enjoy getting the hang of things.
By the second year, if not sometime into the first year, you are going to want
to at the very least supplement the curriculum with your own studies and
eventually create your entire curriculum. We have some help for those of you at
that stage and those of you more experienced and just looking for some new
material.
