This week, I will be sharing about the things I have found most useful for our homeschool. I honestly think I could write a 10- or 15-day series on this topic, so many things are integral to our success in homeschooling. But, I will do my best to narrow them down for you.
Today, I have a list of books that have influenced, helped, or encouraged me in some way over the past 8 years. These are the books that have a home on my bookshelf, I recommend over and over, and that I often pull down from said bookshelf to read . . . again.
These are not curriculum books or books you read to your kids. These are books for mom. And I will warn you right now, it’s an eclectic grouping. I love to learn about (and use) many different methods of homeschooling — Charlotte Mason, Classical, Principle Approach — we have found ways to blend lots of methods. This list reflects that diversity of our homeschool methods.
On the list are also a couple of books that are less about methodology and more about encouraging you in your journey as both a parent and homeschool teacher. If you can only purchase one of these books, make it the first one on the list — Educating the WholeHearted Child. It will change the way you view homeschooling . . . for the better. Apart from the Bible, I have found no better guide to homeschooling.
What are your favorite books for homeschool mom encouragement?
