Classical Education
Sonlight
A Classical pre-packaged curriculum. You must get their catalogue - it
is full of high-quality resources. Very high-quality literature. I use
almost all their resources in homeschooling my children.

A Classical pre-packaged curriculum. Very similar to a public school curriculum.
School-in-box (they even send you the pencils and paper).

The website to support the book. Get the book - it's a must-have for every
homeschooler.
The
Elijah Company Catalogue
Some good advice about why to homeschool. Starting out with your families
goals and making sure you fulfill them. Understanding your priorities
(i.e. character development over math).
Montessori
Su-Chen's
Montessori Albums
Su-Chen's Montessori Albums describe in detail how to perform each Montessori
activity with your child.
Montessori-n-Such
An online store that sells Montessori apparatus and toys. Get the catalogue
- it helped me make some of my own Montessori equipment - it will give
you ideas of what educational toys to buy your pre-schooler and what to
use around the home to teach these skills. This is the cheapest Montessori
equipment retailer I have found.
Montessori
Bells Online
A computer game that allows a child to use the Montessori Bells (without
actually having to buy the super-expensive real ones). It teaches children
to discriminate musical sounds.
Unit Studies

In A Row
This is a Unit Studies curriculum that uses good-quality literature to
teach school subjects in an integrated way. Use the list of books as a
bedtime reading list for your children.

for different topics.
