Disclaimer: I received a FREE copy of this product through the HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW in exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way

The Download Club from My Teaching Library

The Download Club from My Teaching Library is a MUST have for homeschooling! This subscription gives you unlimited access to downloadable resources for all subjects for grades Prek-12th.

I have been exploring my annual membership, and I'm excited to share what I've been discovering...

Once you login, the fun begins.

This site it very easy-to-use and well organized. You can search by grade, or by subject. In each subject you will find sub-caterogies to help you find exactly what you are looking for.

This has save me so many hours of internet searching! They have everything, all in one place. The membership gives you unlimited access, all you do is select what you want and download.

Your downloads are found in one convenient spot.

Since it's election time, we are focusing on the election process together. This is a great way to add some learning, and with my membership to Download Club, it's so easy!

Here's a couple we have been using -

My 9-12th graders watched the Presidential Debate and completed several sheets from this download.

All of the worksheet downloads are in PDF format, and you can print as many as you need.

We have also been using the Bible resources in our day. This study using notebooking pages to highlight 17 important people in the Bible. Your membership gives you access to many notebooking and lapbooking units, all you have to do is download and print!

It's not just worksheets that they offer - you can also access videos, teaching helps, organizers, maps games, and much more. Looking for a special way to bring holidays into your lesson? They have an entire section!

The articles are a bonus section - filled with valuable information... you don't want to miss them.

I love that it's one place to find what I need for every one of my students. From full versions of the McGuffey readers that you can download and use right away to advance Literary analysis for my high schoolers, they have it all.

This site has literally saved me hours of searching for that perfect addition to our day. Lydia Ackert, the founder, has done a great job collecting the best resources, and organizing them into one place.

Resources are available to purchase individually, or you can choose from an Annual or a Lifetime Membership with unlimited access. This is one membership you will want to have!

HelpTeaching Pro Subscription from HelpTeaching.com: A TOS Crew Review

Disclaimer: I received a FREE copy of this product through the HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW in exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way

HelpTeaching Pro Subscription from HelpTeaching.com

HelpTeaching Pro Subscription from HelpTeaching.com is a must-have resource! The Pro Subscription gives you unlimited access to custom and pre-made tests, worksheets, lessons and games for grades K-12 for online or printable use.

This is a HUGE resource with so many options - it's kinda like being in a homeschool curriculum candy shop...lots and lots of goodies to choose from!

HelpTeaching Pro Subscription includes:

unlimited custom tests and worksheets
up to 100 Questions limit in custom tests & worksheets
an Ad-free experience
usage of their library of custom questions and images
the ability to save as PDF for tests and worksheets
the ability to create your own lessons with embedded videos
an online test room to administer tests
Pre-made Premium Common Core ELA & Math Content
Access to their library of over 20,000 Common Core aligned ELA & math questions

Let me show you a few ways we use this amazing resource. First, the subscription gives you access to Printable and Online Worksheets, Quizzes and Activities.

They are arranged either by grade level, or by subject, making it super easy to find what you are looking for. Not just for basic subjects like English Language Arts, Math, Science, etc. They also have Vocational Education, Art & Music, Study Skills, PE, and Life Skills categories to pick and choose from.

One thing I love about this program is the ability to create worksheets/tests/quizzes and either print them (with answer keys!) have my student "take it now", or schedule it for my students to complete later. It's so easy to use, all you need is their email and it will send it to your student!

This program has hundreds of pre-made options for all grades and subjects, including high school options.

But, sometimes you need a more specific test or quiz for your students. HelpTeaching Pro Subscription allows you to create custom tests as well - with up to 100 questions.

The Test Maker makes it super easy to create your own using your own questions, or choosing from a vast library of standards aligned questions that you can easily search with a keyword.

There is plenty of help available with a simple click to get more information on how to create and customize your tests. You can even add images from their extensive collection of maps and images.

I created a quick Biology test for my student, covering cells. It was so easy! You can select what type of questions, how many and even specify the grade level.

In just a few clicks, I was able to print out a Biology exam to review what we had learned about cells.

A fun feature is that you can schedule tests for your students to take Online. This program allows you to create classes, schedule tests, and keep track of results.

You can customize the options - like allowing students to change their answers, use practice mode and show the test results. This would be a very useful tool for Coop classes as well!

Another feature I love about this program are the Online Lessons for Self-Directed Learning. This section is mainly for middle/high school level students and utilizes videos from a variety of sources like - Khan Academy, Educator.com, and Bozeman Science and links to other free online resources to help students understand the topic.

We have been studying American history and government this year, so the lesson on The Constitution was a perfect complement.

They have dozens of lessons in Math, English Language Arts, Science, History and Social Studies. This section would be worth the subscription alone!

There's more! Worksheet Generator lets you create you own math worksheets to practice math facts - you choose the function, number of questions, and factors you want to include. One click later - you can print all the worksheets you want.

Game and Puzzle Generators allow you to create bingo cards and word searches for any topic you want. We love the bingo cards for summer road trips.

With so many resources to choose from, and the ability to customize to exactly what you need, this is definitely a MUST have resource for homeschooling!

Individual Membership from Super Teacher Worksheets: A TOS Crew Review

Individual Membership from Super Teacher Worksheets

I LOVE this site - and you will too! I have been having so much fun discovering the treasures with my Individual Membership from Super Teacher Worksheets. This online, subscription program offers over 10,000 pages of downloadable worksheets for every subject for grades PreK-5! Here's a few...

Math
Reading & Writing
Phonics & Early Literacy
Handwriting
Grammar
Spellings Lists & Worksheets (Gr. 1-5)
Science
Social Studies
Holiday
Puzzles & Brain Teasers
Teacher Helpers
Pre-K and Kindergarten
Make Your Own Worksheets

I love finding the perfect addition to our study, and this is the perfect site. I have had the opportunity to review this in the past, and LOVED it so much I renewed. At a very affordable $19.95 per year, you can't afford NOT to have this one! Warning, it's time to load up on printer ink because you will want them all!

The website is well organized and easy-to-use. Simply log in, and browse the subject and topics to find that perfect "something" for the lesson. It's all right there, with so many to choose from. No more hours of searching the internet! These are all well done worksheets and they include answer keys as well!

One of my favorite sections is the "Make Your Own" Worksheet generator. You can take your own spelling words, math facts, vocabulary or review questions and create custom review sheets, puzzles, games, flashcards and more. It's super easy to use - you can even save your creation. Of course, the answer key is included too.

I am teaching writing and we are focusing on improving our vocabulary. My students were so excited to find their vocab words in our very own crossword and word search. Next week - we get to play Vocab Bingo on my custom creations. This is exactly what I was looking for. A handy "File Cabinet" keeps all your creations for you online in an easy-to-find spot. You can also save the pre-designed worksheets here as well.

Let me show you a few more of my favorites... The English/Language Arts section is packed with more than just the same old worksheets. I found fun ways to introduce idioms, and themed reading comprehension sets. My dino-loving son was surprised to see I found one just for him! They offer a complete list of worksheets to connect with popular children's literature as well.

The Teacher's Helpers section is another personal favorite. They offer many printables you can use in dozens of ways. I love the Music Practice Chart and the Orchestra Viruoso worksheets for rewards for my diligent practicers... This section also offers calendars, crafts, hats, teacher planners and many more.

This helpful computer parts chart helped my young testers learn the names and functions of the computer.

Not only worksheets are available, there are many options to create games or manipulatives you can learn with as well. These sight word wheels were just the ticket for my new reader. And, it's more fun than just reading them off a list.

I may have gotten a little overexcited when I explored the Geography section! Printable outline maps, labeled and numbered!! Or blank, if you want to test their knowledge. An entire geography study of the world is waiting for you.

I found the cutest book marks to give my testers... they are reading The Boxcar Children right now. This site offers many fun options you can find to coordinate with whatever you are currently studying.

My testers LOVED this one! Remember making "cootie-catchers" as a kid? Here's fun way to practice "Fact or Opinion". The instructions are included, and directions for How to Play. You can make these for a variety of subjects.
