Homeschooling: Recommended Reading
This article was submitted by Amber Kurylo of Journey in His Grace Homeschool Co-op.
This recommended reading list was created by veteran homeschool moms who found these books to be the most inspiring and helpful throughout their homeschool journey. I hope you find them inspiring and helpful as well.
Note from Back to Basics Butler: We encourage you to look for these titles in your local bookstore. But since brick and mortar bookstores are rare these days, we’ve included a link to Christianbook.com (a privately-owned catalog/online store) when available, and Amazon second.
