THE FREE & FRUGAL HOMESCHOOLING MASTER LIST
Unless otherwise noted, all of these resources are free. If you find that any of these sites have become paid sites, please let me know so I can remove them from the list. Thank you. :o)
————————————————————
In the process of becoming a seasoned homeschool mom I’ve found many free or low cost ways to educate our children. I’ve acquired quite the list and today feel the need to pass it along to my blog friends. ![]()
I hope this helps someone trying to pinch a penny.

FREE PLACEMENT TESTS: We use placement tests to find learning gaps at the beginning
of each school year. Depending on the tests we use, we can easily take AT LEAST a week to do all of the testing. No matter what grade our child is in they begin with the lowest grade level and work their way up until they no longer know what’s going on.
AOP LANGUAGE AND MATH PLACEMENT TESTS: **You do have to fill out the online form to have the kids take the test online. They also offer the test for sale to put on your computer so it can be used over and over each year without logging in each year.

EDHELPER INFORMATION
If you go to edhelper.com and spend $19.99 - $39.99 you will find
everything you need to teach children for an entire year…
Grades K - 12th.
They have the daily review skills packets that you can print off and
have the kids complete daily or weekly.
(I’d recommend 1 packet every 3 days. They are pretty challenging sometimes.
Internet use will be useful for research.) This is good for K thru 12th grade also.
Math skills
Language arts
Vocabulary/spelling skills
Science open-ended question and review
Writing
Social studies questions
Reading Comprehension
Weekly math word problems
All of this and you can even tweek it too.
