(Reading Young Man by Ignat Bednarik)Here’s my first installment of sites you could use if you want or need to homeschool your child your child through high school for free. At the very least, these sites are great resources and supplements to living books or regular curriculum.
http://www.freeuniv.com/ This site is awesome. Pick a subject that you want to study or prepare for college entrance exams and they have lists of sites and online textbooks for it including History, Government, English, Composition, Math, Spanish, Science and more. The site was actually designed to help students learn what is needed to take the CLEP (College-Level Examination Program).
For more information about the CLEP, go to http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/clep/about.html . CLEP is a subject by itself. It’s a great way for your student to earn college credit—even in high school—by taking tests. Just use these study guides and learning the information there, then taking a CLEP test. Not all universities use CLEP tests for credit, but many do. I believe there’s a list at the collegboard site, but if not, go to your desired university website and do a search for CLEP. They will tell you what percentage of classes or which classes you can get credit for with CLEP.
Another site that is great is http://www.pinkmonkey.com/ . They have study guides, book notes and online books. Their study notes are on Algebra, American Government, American History, Biology, Calculus, Chemistry, Economics, European History, Geometry, GRE Exam, Physics, SAT Exam, Statistics, Trigonometry, and World History. (You’ll want to use an adblocker on this site, especially if you’re having your students use it.)
Need practice tests? Try http://www.testprepreview.com/ or
http://www.studyguidezone.com/ Study for ACT, SAT and many more exams.
I have more online study guides for various subjects, but the above sites could keep a person busy for hours—or for four years of high school!
