  Wong Street writes: Hello, I was wondering if anyone could recommend where to buy great early literacy materials for use in home learning. I have found a great US online store (Lakeshore Learning) but shipping will make buying bulky items cost prohibitive. Does anyone know of similar in Australia? Thank you

  

  Kathleen H. replied:

  Book Depository is great for any mainstream supplies and it has free shipping to Australia, http://m.bookdepository.com and search for early literacy (which will give teacher resources) or early readers, which will give more child centered resources. I often find products on US sites and then will search for the exact name on book depository - it's generally cheaper than Amazon or other book websites. If you are looking for manipulables, try mighty ape, https://m.mightyape.com.au which has a lot of educational games and some early literacy resources and perhaps Milsims for educational games http://www.milsims.com.au. In terms of homeschool specific websites, I don't have a lot of references (the place I used to use shut down earlier this year). I'm not sure where we got our science supplies (it's been a while) either scientriffic https://www.scientrific.com.au/page.php?pg=46 or haines http://www.haines.com.au/index.php/ordering . I found a few websites that might have some resources that could be useful, but I haven't used them personally: https://www.homeschoolingdownunder.com/product.../english/ and this list lists a few businesses that sell homeschooling resources: http://aussiehomeschool.com.au/aussiehomeschool.../ but it may not be up to date. Sorry I couldn't help more but we don't buy physical curriculum resources much these days.
