Hi folks. I am currently getting free homeschooling materials from the website of Rex Bookstore. It's part of the curriculum recommended by our homeschool provider TMA. I think it's great that Rex Bookstore has a very interactive website for students and teachers.

You do have to register and log in as an affiliate of a school to be able to access the teacher materials, which I have done (in my case I registered and put in The Master's Academy as my school and submitted my parent-teacher ID for verification).

I have to commend Rex Bookstore because the reply pretty quickly to support tickets, I got my parent-teacher credentials verified on the same day so I was able to immediately access the teacher materials. 

So anyway here's the link to their website.

Have a look around and if you are not able to access the teacher's materials there, shoot me an email or message me on the fanpage and I would gladly help you out by sharing the materials to you myself.

I am using the materials there for my grade 1, 5 and 9 - not for all the subjects but most of them.

I basically go to the Book IMs which stand for Book Instructional Materials. Here you will find all sorts of teaching aids like audio, video, exercise sheets and online quizzes

I click on View All Books and then you can search and filter for the grade level. Pretty cool!

Happy homeschooling!

Assessment tests are usually a requirement when your child enrolls in a new school. The same with homeschool providers. At TMA, the Otis-Lennon School Ability Test (OLSAT) is used for the year-end tests to measure a child's cognitive skills deemed important for successful learning. In general it is a requirement for the students to gain entry to the next-level. The result of your child's OLSAT will gauge his or her standing in relation to other students of the same age. It will tell you which areas your child is good at and which areas he/she needs to improve on. There really is no pass or fail, to my knowledge, but there could be exceptions.

It is not recommended for you to review your child for this. In my opinion it is best for a child to get used to taking up these kind of tests. Our kids can be very knowledgeable in their books but if one has never taken a test like this and has no idea how to take it, he might just go blank during the exam. So the key is practice, do you agree? 

So here are some of the free materials I have been able to get off the internet and used for my kids to practice with. Hope you find them useful! I will keep adding to this collection and hope to be able to have a good compilation.
