The Best Homeschooling Books

Welcome to What to Read Wednesday! This week officially marks the beginning of Back-to-School month for many families, including ours. My oldest starts his sophomore year of college in a few weeks, and we are gearing up for another adventure-filled year of homeschooling seventh and eleventh grades.
Back to School Giveaway!
To celebrate the ‘new year,’ we are trying something new here at What to Read Wednesday and offering a giveaway. Hopefully, this will turn into a weekly thing! (Let me know what you think.) So, scroll down a little ways to see the form where you can enter this week’s giveaway–and don’t forget to keep on scrolling for the linky!
This week, we are featuring our favorite tried and true homeschooling books. These resources are the ones I turn to again and again. Some are for newbies, but even a veteran homeschooling mom needs ideas, encouragement, and motivation from time to time.
No matter where you are on your journey, you will find these books to be invaluable. What is your favorite homeschooling resource? Please share in the comments. I’m always on the lookout for books to check out.
Happy homeschooling!
