ARE YOU LOOKING FOR RESOURCES TO HELP HOMESCHOOLERS?

NEW! Read this excerpt from "A Guide to Homeschooling for Librarians." This article gives librarians excellent information on who homeschoolers are, what they want from librarians, how to connect with local homeschooling patrons, and how to build good relationships with homeschooling families.

For a list of homeschooling support groups in Kentucky by county, click here.

Visit National Home Education Network's Librarian Resource page for great ideas and helpful information on working with homeschooling families.

Please contact us if you would like more information about how librarians can better serve the needs of homeschooling patrons.

Librarians receive many inquiries from parents interested in homeschooling. In order to help local librarians answer these questions, KHEA has produced a free, 70-page, Homeschool Information Packet, which includes all the basic information a parent will need in order to explore homeschooling as an educational alternative. Everything from Kentucky laws, to curriculum sources, to a suggested reading list and helpful articles are included. This is an excellent resource. You may wish to print this PDF document (Requires Adobe Acrobat Reader) and bind it in a comb binding for a handy, desktop reference. If you already have a copy of our Homeschool Information Packet, click here for a menu of Printer-friendly replacement pages for the Homeschool Information Packet.
