My Favorite Books To Get Excited About Homeschooling in the Elementary Years [Episode 274]

As we are nearing the end of the summer and getting ready for the new school year, I wanted to share some of my all-time favorite books that inspire me in my homeschooling.

10 Books To Get You Excited About Homeschooling:

1. Educating the Wholehearted Child
2. Life Giving Home
3. Home Education
4. For the Children's Sake
5. The Well-Trained Mind
6. Call of the Wild and Free
7. You Are Your Child's First Teacher
8. Awaking Wonder
9. The Brave Learner
10. Teaching From Rest

As I read these books, I’m searching for little bits and pieces that I can add to my vision of what our family and culture look like. This includes homeschooling, but it also goes deeper and more far-reaching than that.

Homeschooling is about home. And that is a personal quest I’m on - figuring out what home looks and feels like. I’ve had a very transient life, so home isn’t a place that I return to from my childhood. I’m still trying to figure out how to make a place feel like home, but I’m grateful for the little bits I’ve gleaned and incorporated into our family so far. 

Whether you’re a seasoned homeschooler, in your first few years, or a mom with young kids too early for school, there is something here for you!
