Homeschool Book and Resource Wish List, Six-Column Tracker
Curriculum sales, library sales, co-op swaps, and birthday lists all pulling in different directions? A homeschool book and resource wish list keeps every want in one organized place.
The main grid runs ten rows across six columns labeled Item, Subject or Category, Purpose or Notes, Est. Cost, Priority, and Source, with a pre-printed dollar sign in every cost cell. Header fields at the top capture Family Name, School Year, Grade, and Date, so the sheet is easy to file by year.
Below the grid, two side-by-side boxes round out the page. The Prayer and Plan box gives four ruled lines for noting how you hope to obtain each resource, whether that means saving, requesting a grant, or trading with another family. The Gift Ideas box mirrors it with four lines specifically for birthdays, holidays, or special occasions, making this homeschool book and resource wish list genuinely useful when grandparents ask what the kids need. The Homeschooling Forms collection includes this page alongside planning and tracking sheets that cover the full school year.
Track every curriculum want with this homeschool book and resource wish list, complete with priority ratings, estimated costs, and gift idea prompts.
Getting Started With Your Homeschool Book and Resource Wish List
Usage Notes
Gel pens write smoothly across the narrow Subject and Priority columns without bleeding through standard copy paper. A fine liner or ballpoint is a better call for the Purpose or Notes column, where you may squeeze in a sentence or two of justification. The pre-printed dollar signs in the Est. Cost column leave only a small number field, so keep figures brief. Laminating a master copy and filling it in with a dry-erase marker works well for families who revisit and revise the list throughout the year rather than committing to one version.
Printing Tips
Run a few copies at once on 28 lb paper so the sheet survives being tucked into a planning binder without curling at the corners. Leave a slight left margin when printing if you plan to hole-punch it, so the Family Name field stays readable after binding.
