The whole world is homeschooling!
Right now, at this moment, millions of parents have an invaluable one-of-a-kind opportunity to experience a version of homeschooling. The problem is that because many people have been forced into it, many parents are lacking vision, and truly struggling to know what to do, what their child should be learning and so forth. Here is a compilation of some of my favorite books ON education and specifically, home education. You may or may not know that there are different ways to homeschool! It can be a bit overwhelming for the newbie parent. Hopefully this list of books will be a good resource for you!
If you are a seasoned homeschool parent and needing a little inspiration, any of these would be great to dive into.
