Around this time each year I like to put together a little round-up of the planning resources especially for homeschoolers. And I wrap it up with some FREE printable planning pages that I’ve made for my own family, and for my readers to use as well if they’d like (be sure to scroll to the end to find them). Maybe one of these years I’ll get around to making a full-blown planner…. maybe.

Thank you for offering the download. I was planning to make up a chart for a reading log. I also got the course of study and weekly planner. Thanks for doing all the work and allowing me to benefit. Many blessings, Cindy
Ann says
Thanks
Amanda says
I just had to say that your weekly planner has been the most useful thing I have ever found! Im so glad I came across your website in January. I have been HSing for 6 years and have used many other planners(some listed above), but now your printable is all I use. I print out one per kid per week (I have 4 kids) and they check off as they finish their work and I check off after looking it over for completion/comprehension. I will never go back to a planner with one line per subject per kid. Thanks for making it available to others!
Sarah says
Thank you Amanda! That made my day to know that these planning pages are helpful to you!!
Sarah says
Thank you so much for sharing! Another very appreciative homeschool mama! 🙂
Leanne says
Thanks for sharing, I do appreciate the time and effort that goes into all these printables! I did notice that the monthly calendar had a typo. The month April 2017 was accidentally typed April 2016. Just an FYI
Sarah says
Thanks for catching that!
Linda says
Thank you for the print out.
Cara says
Thank you so much! I’m an overwhelmed first time homeschooler and this is exactly what I was looking for.
Renee says
Just a heads up – The Well Planned Day is losing some followers this year 🙁 There are some mistakes in it that they aren’t disclosing at purchase, and the customer service backing it is close to non-existant. I came back for printables because we started school today and I am a little frustrated (it’s nothing that can’t be worked around) but irritated more than anything. Had it been mentioned when I bought it from their booth at a conference last month (for full price) it wouldn’t have been a big deal. I don’t agree with them selling an obviously flawed item at full price with no warning 🙁 I figured I would give you some warning since it is #1 on the list (so the first one a lot of people will see, even if they are in no particular order) and there are some unhappy mamas out there… didn’t want the backlash to come back to you (the phrase “don’t shoot the messenger” is there for a reason). This was their third strike for me so it’s time to move on, unfortunately.
So, on a happy note, thank you for a wonderful set of printables!
(for the record, 1 week in July is missing, August 31 in the monthly calendar is missing, and there is only 1 report card rather than 4… not sure what else might be discovered as the year continues)
Becky says
Thanks for the awesome free printables! I have one question. On the Weekly Student Assignment Sheet what are the 2 squares in each section for? I’m sure one is for them to check off when they have finished it, but what is the other one meant for?
Sarah says
Hi Becky – One box is for the child to check off when they are done and the second one is for the parent after they check the child’s work.
Missy says
Thanks so much for these planner pages. They are a life-saver as I’m trying to get organized for the school year! Blessings to you.
Heather says
I submitted my e-mail for the download and never received a link in the e-mail. Where can I get these files?
Sarah says
Hi Heather – I sent you an email with the files.
