My daughter is older than yours so unfortunately I don't have a lot of websites to share with you but the one that I would highly recommend that you check out, if you haven't already done so, is Starfall.com That site is awesome for teaching kids how to read.

The Homeschool Lounge is a great network and resource for homeschool moms and The Homeschool Toolbar is a free resource with lots of great resources and homeschool helps.

Take time to read lots, there is a ton of info on the web to read. :-)

I agree Starfall is wonderful! Letter Of The Week is also a neat website with a free curriculum!

There's definitely a lot more on there when I got started. I've been homeschooling for 5 years and when I started there was barely any info available. Those who are just getting started today have a definite advantage in this way.

Homeschool Curriculum Resources is an up and coming homeschool website. Free worksheets & printables, educational videos, a homeschool resources directory, educational games, etc.

FreelyEducate.com is a great one. It's not a place with the curriculums on there, but she posts new free stuff all the time. I've found some real gems through her site.

I don't use a lot of internet stuff for school, especially for my littlest ones, but my just-turned-six-year-old has really enjoyed Starfall.

I just recently discovered Ambleside Online's free curriculum. If you are interested in the Charlotte Mason method, check it out.
