Because there’s a lot of information here, it would be easy to become overwhelmed or confused about what’s where. Hopefully the following will help direct you to the information you need. (Although most internal links here don’t open in a new tab, the ones on this page do, so you don’t have to keep coming back as you work your way down the page.)
I highly recommend that you start with the “About the Site“ page. It tells you what Daily Bread is, how it originated, and the sorts of information you should find here.
If you are interested in using the overall curriculum framework (that schedules the units for you), you will want to take a look at the items under the “Daily Bread“ tab. If you click on the tab itself, you will find some important introductory material that explains how the pages are set up. The “Year X” links will take you to general overviews for each year of the cycle, which contain links to the appropriate unit posts. The “Weekly Plans“ link will take you to a page where you can download a more in-depth week-by-week plan in a printable format.
If you are homeschooling using unit studies, you will probably find the unit pages helpful, even if you aren’t using the Daily Bread framework. Each unit is set up as three blog posts. (They’re long, which is why they’re broken into three posts each.) These contain lists of potential resources in a variety of categories (fiction, non-fiction, multimedia, etc.), as well as other unit-relevant information such as vocabulary and related Scripture. You can find these through the Categories list in the right sidebar or through the Search box in the left sidebar.
The “Resources“ tab links to a variety of resources that are not unit-specific. Three resource lists are included, which offer lists of overall resources we have seen and liked or think would be useful. The other resource pages are themselves useful lists (Greek/Latin roots, artists by time period, etc.). These should be useful for most homeschoolers, even if you aren’t using unit studies.
Items in the Downloads section should be useful for the homeschooling community at large, as well.
