Choosing a homeschool curriculum can be a daunting task. Breaking it down into more manageable steps can make the process easier.First, investigate what type of learning style best suits your child. Are your children hands-on "kinesthetic" learners or are they visual learners? Ldpride.net has simple explanations of the different styles of learning. Deciding what learning style works best for your children will help guide your curriculum search.Another important factor in your search for a homeschool curriculum is cost. Your budget for homeschooling will greatly impact your choices. The cost of a homeschool curriculum can vary greatly and it is worth comparing different programs. Some programs offer quite a bit for your money, others seem to be a lot of pretty packaging. Some companies will send sample materials for your consideration.One more very important aspect to consider is your own personality. If you are a "relaxed" and "come-what-may" kind of person, a highly structured curriculum may not work well for you. Be honest in your evaluation of your personality. Homeschooling curriculum can be quite a considerable investment. Don't buy a highly structured program only because you have good intentions of following it. You and your children will suffer.Talk to other homeschool parents. Visit homeschool forums. See what other people are using and ask what they like and possibly dislike about the curriculum.Pick a curriculum that is suitable for your personality, your budget and your children's learning style and your homeschooling journey will be off to a good start.Camilla Ricketts is a homeschooling mother of two boys ages 9 and 14.
