Answer 1

Go online and get the instructions for what you need to do for your particular state. Then find a good home schooling system. I recommend something structured. I use K12. Go to www.k12.com and check it out. It is very structured and has lots of interactive lessons. I did a lot of searching before making the choice for my son and I haven't been sorry. Also check out cosmeo.com for extra homework help, brain games, it even has an encyclopedia with videos and everything. Good luck.

Answer 2

The very first thing you need to do is to find out your state laws.  Here is a link to the Connecticut laws about homeschooling:

Here is PDF analysis of those laws:

From what I can see, the law is very easy in Ct.  There are no qualifications for the Parent Teacher, no testing, and for record keeping, only the requirement for maintaining a portfolio showing work in the required subjects.

I am a homeschooler in CT, and we (me and my brother) have used A Beka Book, they are great with help to start homeschooling.
