Free Christian Material:
Where to Find the Best
Free Christian material for homeschooling can be found. Some are very good. Free material is good for supplementing your curriculum. The materials that I have listed here all have Christian content.
The Internet
The internet has free Christian material available. I have previewed the sites listed and have found them to be quite good.
Here is a listing for each subject.
Bible Study
The Bible should be the first textbook that you consult for homeschooling. I found two sites for children's Bible stories. Bible for Children has children stories that can be read online. The plan of salvation is presented after the Bible story. There are 35 Old Testament stories and 25 New Testament stories.
My favorite way to present the story is to download the coloring book version. My children can read the story and color the pictures.
The Bible for Children has a daily devotion. Each day there is a bible story with a thought question. You child can also find the Bible stories to read and the coloring books.
Bible for children also has an illustrated version of Pilgrim's Progress. The story comes in six parts that you can download.
Bible Study Planet has studies for adults, teens, and children. Each Bible study for children contains quizzes, puzzles, and a picture to color. Each booklet is on a short passage of scripture.
I plan to use the booklets to supplement my Bible curriculum. There is also a memory verse to memorize. The studies use the New King James Version. The studies can also be downloaded in Spanish.
I really like the activities Bible Study Planet has for moms. There is a daily motivation and daily devotion. There are also some adult bible studies.
The Teen section is good. My teen always misplaces his bible, but always knows where his laptop is. I see that bible study planet has a bible reading plan where my teen can read the daily scripture on his computer. Bible study planet also has devotions that deal with issues that teens have.
Science
There is a lot of free science stuff. Some would not be offensive. The sites that I have listed have free Christian material. Easy Fun School has a dinosaur unit that uses the Bible to teach.
Parent company has free science lessons. There are two science kits science and science of design. Both kits talk about creation verses evolution. I fell that the lessons would be best suited to high school.
Cindy Downes has science unit studies that you can download. The Oklahoma homeschool by Cindy Downes has unit studies on animals, dinosaurs, bugs, geology, and astronomy. If I ever find the time I would like to do some of her unit studies with my children.
Language Arts
For language arts look in you public or church library for Christian fiction or stories that have a strong moral content. Also many books published before 1923 present a Christian view. Most of the books are in the public domain. Look for free books to download at Google Books, Project Gutenberg, Christian Classics Ethereal Library, and the Baldwin Project.
History
Easy Fun School has many history activities. The site starts with ancient Old Testament history and goes through all of the time periods. Bible World history has time lines from creation to the early church.
Cindy Downes has a blank time line that you can download. She also has some history unit studies that are free.
Both Oklahoma Homeschool and Easy Fun School have free Christian material.
Free Christian Homechooling Curriculum
You can find free curriculum at An old Fashioned Education. Miss Maggie has provided links for many textbooks and real books. All of the books are from the public domain because the books were published before 1923. You will have to preview the books to see if they are appropriate for your child.
Miss Maggie has a good tip in that you do not have to download every page of every book. If there is a part that is not appropriate for your child you skip the offensive part. She has a curriculum page where she lists books to be used for each grade.
Another site that has free curriculum is Ambleside Online. If you are a follower of Charlotte Mason this is a really good free site. Each grade has a schedule and book list. I really like how the site is ordered.
At Ambleside you can also study art, classical composers, and hymns. When I clicked on the hymns link for Blessed Assurance I was able to hear the music and read the words of the hymn.
There is a lot of free Christian Material for homeschoolers available.
