FBS Books Giveaway: Back to School Week
This giveaway has ended–thanks for entering.
I hope you’re enjoying this special series–welcome to Day 3 of Back to School Week!
The sponsor for today’s giveaway is FBS Books, a family-owned homeschooling company carrying a huge inventory of classical and traditional curricula.
FBS Books stocks a wide variety of popular, well-known materials in all subjects like Saxon Math, A Reason for Handwriting, Explode the Code, and Sequential Spelling. But they also keep in stock many new resources you may not have discovered before–I enjoyed browsing through the maps, puzzles, CDs, and cookbooks in the geography section. And I spent a long time admiring the collection of learning games available.
FBS Books offers affordable, reasonable prices on their materials, and they offer free shipping on all orders over $25!
The resources at FBS Books are not just for your children’s education–they are for yours as well.
I had the privilege of receiving a few DVDs from their homesteading selection, and after watching them I’m completely inspired to try my hand at a few new skills (cheesemaking, anyone!). And you’ll also find encouragement to get through the challenges of homeschooling in their collection of parenting books and devotionals.
Today FBS Books is giving a $100 gift certificate to one lucky Simple Homeschool reader!

I don’t actually homeschool, I am supplementing their schoolwork at home. I’m mostly interested in exploring world history with the kids as they don’t seem to get much of that at school. I’m noticing that I do have trouble finding many of the reading suggestions to supplement their history study at the library. Even on interlibrary loan, our system does not seem to have many books.
I’m following both on FB!
The subject that gives us the most issue is Spelling and Reading.
“Like” both on Facebook.!!!
Um, all of them? This is my first year of homeschooling and an option I never thought would be in front of me. I was all for sending my kids to a local private school, but after my son went through kindergarten there I found myself looking into curriculum. FBS, please!
Science. I have yet to find a science program that I love.
I follow both on FB.
Signed up for your weekly newsletter! I think I am all set! Thanks for a great give away!!!
Hmm…history, I think. There’s so much to cover, and a near-infinite number of resources out there, it’s overwhelming!
The subject that gives me the most trouble is history. I’m never satisfied!
I don’t struggle with finding curriculum, just with being able to buy. 🙂 Looking forward to checking out FBS.
Grammar. Definitely. I think it’s just mostly because it’s the one that excites us the least, so it’s hard to find something sufficiently inspiring. 😉

i think history – we keep changing things up. for now, we’re sticking with lots of living books from the library 🙂
Surprisingly enough, I think finding good Christian/Bible resources is hard. My son says Christian books are boring. It would be an incredible opportunity to receive the gift of FBS books and materials. Thanks for letting us know about them, Jamie!
Writing…my daughter knows her letters, but she doesn’t like handwriting practice. I haven’t found anything that makes it fun for her and not mundane.
I signed up for your newsletter.
I “like” you and FBS Books on FB.
i’d have to say science. i don’t know why, but it intimidates me! thanks for the chance.
i also get the newletters in my email. thanks again!
Well we’re just in preschool but the thought of eventually teaching creative writing makes me squirm.

This is our first year and it’s Kindergarten but I think Science will be tough. We’re trying the CM method so finding living books in Science seems near impossible!
