Using Textbooks for Homeschool (Traditional Method)
This method brings the traditional school feeling to home, making use of textbooks, tests, worksheets, quizzes, and schedules.
Many online resources are available where you can buy complete curriculum packages that lays out your days, weeks, and entire school year in a traditional 180 day format. New homeschoolers may feel most comfortable with this method as it is nearest to the way they were taught and involves a lot less work.
Hardcore advocates of homeschooling, however, may feel that this undermines the premise of the whole homeschooling movement - a chance to break away from public school sanctioned mass-society education methods.
Saxon, ABEKA, and Bob Jones are popular choices for those who choose to go the text book route as an entire curriculum with all subjects can be purchased for the student’s whole year from one company.
