There is a plethora of homeschool resources available. So where do you go to find out about all the wonderful homeschool curriculum, books, and more available? The Old Schoolhouse® offers several different ways for you to read about homeschool resources: from HomeschoolApp.com, where you can access current and past issues of the magazine, The Homeschool Minute, and HomeschoolingFinds.com, to specific items like the resource guide within The Old Schoolhouse® Magazine.
