20 Books That Will Improve Your Homeschool Experience

I’m incredibly grateful for those that have gone before me in the homeschool and parenting world.  I want our family to have a wonderful homeschool experience. Sometimes, the idea of being completely responsible for my children’s education can be especially terrifying!  I’m a huge reader and have found great wisdom in the writings of many authors that cover multiple aspects of homeschooling.

I’ve found suggestions that have solidified our experiences as a homeschool family, and I’ve found methods that have solved multiple issues for us.  I’ve put together a list of books that have been helpful to us and to the families that surround us.
