When you are choosing software for your homeschool, remember to consider other aspects besides the cost of the software package you are considering. Something you might want to consider, “Is the software I am considering for a particular subject comprehensive in that subject?”.
When I say is the software program comprehensive in a subject, it means does this particular program only focus on a narrow slice of the subject or does it try to incorporate other related areas from the same subject in its learning schedule. For example, you are considering a software package on grammar. Does the program cover just verbs and verb tenses, or does it also practice sentence structure while learning the verbs. If you are considering math software, does the software only cover algebra, or does it draw on some geometry, or even include a few lessons on matrices. Having comprehensive software can be beneficial to making your child’s learning more well rounded.
