Once the flood gates of reading open up, it can be hard to keep up with pre-reading for your older homeschooler! And yet, choosing a book list impacts your child’s worldview.
Unpacking concepts in books is a great way to start a conversation with your children about important issues in their development. Especially when read aloud together, you can choose books that draw out your homeschooler’s wise decision making.
On this episode for our season on literacy, I’m chatting with second generation homeschooling mom, Tiffany Pichardo, about HOW to choose those safe, trusted, and value-driven books.
Tiffany is sharing how she chooses her book recommendation lists for various age, developmental, and interest areas.
