Economics

103 Top Pick for homeschool curriculum by cathy duffyIndicates that the item was selected as one of Cathy’s 103 Top Picks for Homeschool Curriculum.

Home educators have some great choices when it comes to economics. While textbook-based courses from publishers such as A Beka, School of Tomorrow, and BJU Press are good, you might find it much more interesting to create your own course. One option might be to begin with Whatever Happened to Penny Candy? Next, read Hazlitt's Economics in One Lesson. Use Money Matters for Teens for "personal economics." Use The Myth of the Robber Barons to make interesting connections between economics, history, and government.

Ray Notgrass's Exploring Economics course combines many of these elements from my "do-it-yourself" course (and works well for independent study) and Basic Economics Fourth Edition also combines some of these elements and online resources with their outstanding textbook for another great option.

The Tuttle Twins Series

Connor Boyack has created The Tuttle Twins books, an outstanding series of 12 books that teaches important concepts about economics, government, and personal responsibility through child-friendly stories. Boyack has taken important ideas from well-known books and authors and translated them into a very appealing format. Boyack says the target audience is ages five through ten, although he acknowledges that teenagers have found the books interesting as well. While these books are great to read aloud with the family, nine- and ten-year-old children should be able to read them on their own.
