Dartmouth Book Exchange- a literacy field trip destination for homeschoolers

With the kids back in school, we have already played host to a couple of homeschool field trips. We are so pleased that Dartmouth Book Exchange is a literacy destination for homeschoolers.

We are a great place to visit when you are trying to create a homeschool library on a budget. The following is some of what you’ll find at our store.

*We have a children’s room with more than 2,000 books- from picture books to leveled readers to chapter books.

*For the older tweens and teens, we have a paranormal/ fantasy aisle and a fiction wall.

*We have a children’s french section with picture and chapter books

*We have a children’s non- fiction bookcase

*We have a growing section of brand new locally authored children’s books. Included in these are a couple of historical fiction chapter books that fit in with the Nova Scotia middle-grade curriculum objectives. See staff for details.

*For the elementary kids, we have a scavenger hunt posted to help make their visit more involved, enjoyable and dare I say, educational.

*We even have a homeschool bookshelf with books for the homeschool teachers

*We want to take this opportunity to remind teachers that they get a teacher’s discount off used books which is as follows: 10% off their classroom purchases of under $50, 15% off their classroom purchases of over $50 to $75, 20% off their classroom purchases of $75-$100, and $25% off their classroom purchases of over $100- 

***All purchases are before taxes.  ID must be presented.  Cannot be combined with book credits or any other deals or sales.  Excludes new books.
