A Mother's List of Books for Children/Project Gutenberg

A wonderful reference for finding public domain children's books. These books are listed by age, ages two - fourteen, and topic. I've already found quite a few at Google Books for my thirteen year old, of which I'll be sharing over the next week.

Click here. HTML version is the easiest to work of off with searches - quick copy and paste.

Free Homeschooling Curriculum

A resource using the Robinson book list(Joyful Light Education). The books are all in public domain and available online; however this is a wonderful time saver. They have done the leg work and linked to each book. All but a few are available via this link list.

Also see their post on How to Organize a Free Curriculum.

Comprehensive History of Western Civilization through 16th Century

This site is a wonderful resource! See their time line from the founding of Rome in 753 BC through 1566 - the Ottomans conquer European territories in the Balkans. Links to free resources and online books are given from the time line. The free books are page scans of the books with no comprehensive downloads offered; however, if you use the Google Books Search on my side bar, you may find it in a download friendly form(PDF). Also try Gutenberg Books, also on my side bar, and a general Google search.

Some of these books have already been listed here, but I will attempt to add more of them here.

They offer fairly reasonably priced CD collections as well.

This book list is based upon the Robinson Homeschool Program which is homeschooling with quality vintage books on CD. Many of these books are available at Project Gutenberg, or at the links for free books on the sidebar. As a bonus, there are a few free tests/quizzes for some of these books.

This list is a nice guide, just another tool for organizing and sorting your collection of free homeschool curricula.
