Other Resources

What good references and resources exist on the Internet?

Too many to list!! There are thousands upon thousands of sites available, from encyclopedias to unit studies to custom worksheet generators. Your best bet is touse a meta-search engine, such as Google, or ask other homeschoolers for suggestions on specific topics. A discussion list can provide a wealth of information, as can the DMOZ Directory page on K-12 Home education.

Where can I obtain books at a relatively low cost?

Virginia's poublic schools usually do not provide textbooks to homeschoolers, so those families who want to use textbooks must locate them on their own. There are many sources of texts and other books, a number of which offer cost savings: A to Z Home's Cool Used Curriculum, the Homeschooling Used Curriculum site, the Vegsource Homeschool Talk @ Swap boards, 1 Bookstreet, used books stores and local or regional curriculum swaps and sales.
