5 Books Homeschool Moms Must Read

Posted on

Every year, homeschool moms should read one book about home education. At least one. I have put the bar low because I know how busy we all are. And once you have been doing this for a few years, it might seem redundant to keep reading books about homeschooling.

Feeding the Mouth that Bites You

This book has helped me tremendously as my children became teenagers. The author has a podcast, too.

According to my umbrella school coordinator, homeschooling moms should keep themselves fresh by reading at least one or two books – an in-service for homeschool moms per year. Take 30 minutes in the morning, before your household wakes up, and read these books to strengthen your outlook on homeschooling. At some point, you will want to start reading the classic books of Western Civilization, if you have not read them before children (see #1 and #4 below).
