How Worksheets Helped Our Homeschool - Includes FREE Downloadable Worksheet

Worksheets have been a very useful tool in our homeschool journey. I view them as a supplementary aide to our regular curriculum as a way to provide additional practice in areas that my children might need extra help mastering.

Sometimes worksheets can give my kids a little "break" from our regular curriculum. I like to slip in a cool worksheet like a crossword puzzle with spelling words or a fun math facts coloring page as a way to start their day with something different. They enjoy the change of pace and new challenge and I love finding cool worksheets!

Good quality worksheets are what I'm always on the hunt for especially ones with a lot of variety in the way they present the materials. Themed worksheets are so much fun too since they can easily be added to our schedule as a way to celebrate upcoming holidays. I don't have time to make my own so finding a great website that has all I need in one place is game changing!

Recently, I found a great fall themed subtraction worksheet for my youngest to enjoy. He has been working hard at mastering addition facts and is ready to start learning subtraction. He loved the one I found and can't wait to do more.

(Please note that I am not an affiliate for Education.com however I did receive one free worksheet to share with you on this blog in exchange for an honest review of the worksheet. If you choose to join Education.com I do not receive any additional products or commission. The following is my honest review of the product I received)

You might be asking where I found this super cool worksheet - the answer: Education.com! If you like worksheets that offer a ton of variety you will definitely love this website. Education.com has worksheets for a variety of subjects, with various themes and activities for you to choose from that will best fit your child's learning style. Isn't that cool? I think so.

Access to the worksheets via the website does cost a little bit but it is quite reasonable! I was really blown away when I clicked on the pricing and saw how inexpensive it is to join. There are three options to choose from -1) pay as you go, 2) pay annually or 3) a lifetime access option. All are very affordable and I love that Education.com is sensitive to the fact that I may only need their worksheets intermittently so the month to month plan option is available. No big commitments requiring a big cash outlay - now that is my kind of service. I personally like to test out the materials we use in our homeschool before make a big financial commitment so this option works great for us.

Are you wondering what types of worksheets are available? Here are some of the worksheets to choose from: (I told you there were a lot didn't I?)
