Local classified services like Craig’s list have made it easy to connect with people in your own area for stuff that you may like to buy or sell. There are specific websites online that do the same for homeschooling families. You can schedule activities, share costs of bulk purchases with other homeschooling families, and even sell things that you no longer have any specific use for.
Books and material may be classified according to the subject they deal with such as Maths, Science, History, etc. Or they may be split up as per the category that they are covering such as biography, phonics, foreign language. There is also the option of listing books as per the publisher or title, which is helpful if you are looking for a specific book.
Not sure what you need and just want to take a look at what is available? You can also classify them as per the grade level but sometimes the homeschool students may be able to deal with books from a higher grade level as well. So it is best to keep that in mind before restricting your search to grade level books.
The main advantage of using online homeschooling classified websites is that you can explore hundred of listings from other people with homeschooling experience. You can get items that are commonly used by homeschoolers, as well as some good advice about how to use them. Plus you are not restricted to picking and choosing from your local bookstore or library when you have access to thousands of sellers from across the country.
The best part is that you can actually find listing for free activities that your homeschooling students can take part in, both online as well as in the local community in your town. This sense of connectedness to the homeschooling fraternity goes a long way in helping with making new friends in town. Best of all is the fact that all this information can be accessed anywhere and at any time for free! So if you have not begun using homeschool classifieds, now is the time to check out what they can do for you.
