How can you access these books? Most of these books can be read via your computer. You can also use an eReader device, such as a Kindle, Kindle Fire, Nook, iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch or Samsung Galaxy.
Homeschooling Books, Videos, DVDs and Audio Research
The National Home Education Research Institute or NHERI is an organization that conducts and collects research about homeschooling and publishes the Home School Researcher.
Many of their works, such as 'Home Based Education: The Informed Choice' or 'What Makes You Think You Can Teach Your Own', can be purchased on DVD, video or audio tape.

Basic Home Schooling Books
There are a few supplies that no homeschooling home should be without:
• The American Heritage Student dictionary
• The American Heritage High School dictionary
• Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Thesaurus
These reference books are “must have” home schooling materials for developing minds. These resources will allow your children to research spellings, definitions, synonyms, and antonyms on their own, aiding their retention of what they look up. Younger homeschool students will learn alphabetizing skills too.
Saving Money on Home Schooling Books and Home School Supplies
The cost of home schooling is sizeable and, unfortunately, not even tax deductible. Have no fear, however, there is some relief to be had. Many retailers offer discounts to homeschoolers with some form of proof.
Most stores will accept your Notice of Intent to Homeschool, an ID card from a homeschooling support group, or your homeschool letterhead. Just a few of the national retailers who can save you money on home schooling books and home school supplies are: Borders Bookstores, Staples Office Supplies and Joann Crafts.
