Internet Resources for Homeschooling Families

    These are links that I (and others) have found useful in homeschooling our children.

    If you would like infomation about our home school support group based in Northampton County, Pennsylvania you should check out the official website of SELAH.

    I highly recommend:

• The best website with information regarding home education in Pennsylvania is The Pennsylvania Home Education Network

• Lost in search engines? Choose the best search for your purpose.

• Questions abut homeschooling? A good place to ask questions in cyberspace is in a usenet newsgroup. Learn about my favorite, MEHSC. Visit the MEHSC webpage then join the group.
