Support groups offer help to first-time homeschoolers with: learning about the law, doing the necessary paperwork, group activities for parents and kids, year-end assessments, finding tutors and teaching assistance, and recommendations for books and local resources. If you don't have a support group, connect with a few local families and create one!
