5 Inspiring Books for Homeschool Moms
Modern Miss Mason by Leah Boden
“Discover How Charlotte Mason’s Revolutionary Ideas on Home Education Can Change How You & Your Children Learn & Grow Together.”
This one wins the award for “The Book with the Most Bent Corners” on my bookshelf for the year! After giving readers a look into who Charlotte Mason was, author Leah Boden dives in to show readers how they can apply Mason’s educational philosophies into their homeschools. She accomplishes this by breaking up the book into three parts: “Reframing Childhood”, “Reframing Education”, and “Reframing Motherhood”. It is a must-have for any homeschool mom’s bookshelf!
Homeschool Bravely by Jamie Erickson
“How to Squash Doubt, Trust God, and Teach Your Child with Confidence.”
The next book, Homeschool Bravely is one to keep on hand for a dose of inspiration throughout the school year. Erickson calmly walks readers through several universal homeschool fears and struggles and provides practical, inspiring solutions that homeschooling moms can embrace. Reading this book is like having an encouraging chat with your best gal pal over a cup of coffee.
“Trust that if God has called you to it, He will help you do it.”
Jamie Erickson, Homeschool Bravely
The Call of the Wild & Free by Ainsley Arment
“Reclaiming Wonder in Your Child’s Education.”
Get ready to make the world your classroom after reading The Call of the Wild & Free. Arment begins with teaching readers how to prepare for their journey, and then moves on to discuss and dispel the many myths surrounding and the objections to homeschooling that some readers might have. Part three is a road map to discovering your own style and finding a rhythm, and then Arment takes a deep dive into the “Wild & Free Way”.
My favorite part? The Call of the Wild & Free is FULL of ideas and inspiration for incorporating learning into everyday life. All of the ideas truly show how the homeschool journey is a wild one (it is) and full of freedom (it is).
Homeschool Basics by Tricia Goyer & Kristi Clover
“How to Get Started, Keep Motivated, and Bring Out the Best in Your Kids.”
Homeschool Basics is the first book that I lend to friends who are considering homeschooling. Written by two experienced homeschool moms, this book is full of excellent tips and advice for how to
- Start homeschooling- including tips for success, advice for homeschool communities, planning & organization, curriculum choices, and more.)
- Stay motivated (remember your why, nurture relationships, and have fun)
- Bring out the best in your kids (character development, teachable moments, learning difficulties, etc.)
Teaching from Rest by Sarah Mackenzie
“A Homeschooler’s Guide to Unshakable Peace.”
Teaching from Rest is a fantastic book that will have you remembering your ‘why’, simplifying your homeschool, receiving incredible encouragement, and learning how to trust that your children will “bear fruit in time.”
It is such a good book to have on hand to remind you of the One who is truly in charge of your homeschool.
No matter where you are in your family’s homeschool journey, these five inspiring books have something to offer you. Get ready to refresh your mind and embrace your family’s homeschool days with joy and purpose. Happy reading!
