Save time and simplify
your homeschooling life...
Learn from experienced
homeschoolers how to write your own curriculum.
It really is that easy!
Use this website with Beverley Paine's Getting Started with Home Schooling - Practical Considerations to help you develop your own educational curriculum to suit your family situation, beliefs and lifestyle. The checklists can help you identify your children's current educational skill level in each subject area, as well as find any 'gaps' in their learning, plan what they need to cover or keep track of what has been learned. As you can appreciate this website is continuously under development... It's our aim to add pages on a regular basis in all curriculum areas: check back frequently. We hope you enjoy the articles and activities and find the links and recommended resources useful. Over the next year we will be working our way through each subject area and writing fresh, new content. |

Handwriting Links
The importance of choosing an effective handwriting curriculum cannot be underestimated. It's a choice that will shape a child's habits and abilities for life. This site is intended to assist in that decision by providing a brief overview of the major handwriting programs used nationwide, samples of their style, and links to additional information where available. Those who work with young children just learning to write face an increasingly difficult task - how to choose an effective handwriting curriculum from a wide variety of methods and styles.
Draw Your World - Handwriting Styles
There are a variety of handwriting styles, including: cursive, manuscript, Italic, D'Nealian, and New South Wales. Homeschool parents have more options. Take time to familiarize yourself with the various styles. See samples of popular handwriting styles.

The Write Fonts - Handwriting Fonts for Teachers
When my daughters had to start doing homework in cursive they came to me almost daily asking me to show them how to write various letters. It's been years since I learned formal cursive handwriting and my characters didn't always match what the school taught. I needed cursive handwriting fonts.
