Kindergarten Registration - Considering Homeschooling?
Homeschooling your child is a decision not to be taken lightly. There is a lot to take into consideration before deciding what the next step in your child's future will be. Here are a couple of excellent resources for you to check out as part of the decision making process.




The Successful Homeschool Family Handbook by Dr. Raymond Moore and Dorothy Moore helped me with my decision to homeschool my children. If you are undecided about homeschooling your children this book is a must read. You will learn how to run your home school around your families schedule and set up a low cost curriculum that will make learning interesting for your individual child.

Sonlight - On Sale In Time For The Next School Year

With Sonlight, you get . . .




  • All your homeschool books and supplies in-stock and ready when you need them.



    Sonlight has invested in a multi-milliondollar inventory to meet your needs at a moment's notice.


  • Easy-order CONVENIENCE. You can get everything you want or need for a full year's education . . . in one place . . . at the click of a mouse.


  • Saves you time.



    You don't have to spend hours, days, or weeks hunting through used book sales, mail order or library catalogs, or searching online hoping to locate the books you don't yet own! Put another way: you'll have more time to spend with your kids and husband, or doing projects that bring you real satisfaction or fulfillment.



    If you value your time at all, then you'll want to buy from Sonlight for that reason alone.


  • Saves you money.



    Sonlight saves you a few dollars here and there on things like the science supply kits we offer. But the savings mount higher and faster as you consider the gasoline you won't need to burn running down to the library, bookstore, or used book sales . . . or the money you will have to pay for shipping titles from used book dealers all over the country. . .


  • Relieves you of frustration. No more fruitless trips to the library, bookstore, or hardware supply. No frustrating waits in the checkout line. And no tension filled hours in the car as you fight traffic with kids in tow.



With your complete book list in hand, why should I buy from Sonlight?

Straight Forward Math Series
I love - love - LOVE the Straight Forward Math Series! Mastery of the basic facts is key to success in advanced math.

A simple, straightforward approach to learning mathematical operations. The series is systematic, first diagnosing skill levels, then practice, periodic review, and testing.
Builds new math skills and enriches existing ones. It is ideal for one student or many. Progression through a particular math skill is thorough and complete.

Mastery of basic math facts with the series provides success for subsequent math skills. The advanced series begins where the first level left off.

I have Straight Forward Math Series, Subtraction and Advanced Subtraction for sale at a very reasonable price for new workbooks.
General Store n Book Shop

I also have a few other math workbooks in my store.
