Parents of home-schooled children will find many resources available to them. Many public libraries have reading programs set up for young children and a home-schooled child able to benefit from them.

Audio books, videotapes, and computer games are also available at many of them. The local library may be the resource you use the most to ensure your childs home school success.
Other resources may be available in your community, as well. Many parents of home-schooled children have started up support groups. Often, these groups will plan activities for the children, such as field trips to museums. This will allow your child to interact with others, as well as give you support from others that have the same goals for their children. If there is no such group in your community, consider starting one up yourself. This will allow you to plan further for your childs accomplishments.
There are also many online resources you and your child may use for their home school education. Many online education resources have material that you may use for helping your child to learn certain material. Youll also find online classes are available for your child to take. Online classes are available in many subjects, such as English, Foreign Language, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, and Business.

Your community may provide a wide variety of resources, as well as enrichment classes for your child to enhance their education. By utilizing the available resources, you are securing your childs home school success.
