Catalogs

In addition to reading lots of books, surfing the Internet and reading homeschooling magazines, you also need to browse through homeschooling catalogs to figure out what curriculum you're going to use. Our goal here is not to list every one of the hundreds of catalogs available, but rather to give you the names of a few of the biggest and best (with discount prices) to get you started…

Rainbow Resources-- If I could only have one homeschool curriculum catalog, this would be the one. It's the size of a telephone directory. They include most of the major homeschool publishers. But best of all, they have great, honest descriptions of the books. If you go on their web site you can look at tables of contents and page samples from most of the books in their catalog. And to make things even better--their prices are the best I've found anywhere!

Timberdoodle--great selection, great prices

Rock Solid--discount Christian homeschool books

Farm Country General Store--don't be misled by the name--they're a vendor of homeschool books, also with discount prices

Christianbook.com--another discount homeschool vendor

Don't buy your books elsewhere before you comparison price shop at the above vendors!
