I have put together this reading list for homeschool moms because my life is made up of homeschooling my children. So, it makes sense that my reading list reflects that.
I rarely read books for purely entertainment purposes anymore. When I do, it is because I am reading it out loud to my children as part of our homeschooling lesson. After all, I am usually just as interested in the books we read for school as my children are. High-quality literature has that benefit. Am I right?
However, there have been several books that have helped me in my home education journey. These offer practical tips and/or biblical encouragement for homeschool moms.
Homeschool moms are all of the things, all of the time. So, these books cover a variety of topics related to being a mom and homemaking while homeschooling while married!
They have made me think, laugh, and cry. They are worth recommending.
I hope you’ll find some books to add to your reading list! I’d love to know what you are currently reading or plan to read.

After homeschooling for 7 years, a few new reads for mom are a great idea.
Hi Clarissa,
I have been homeschooling forever…OK some days it feels that way 🙂 Actually it’s been since 2009 so that would be 8 years and a bit ( since our year is different from yours).

I’m entering my 3rd year of homeschooling with my 7 yr son. I’m not going to lie, it’s been awesome, but there were times that wasn’t so awesome. I knew homeschooling was the avenue for us when I was pregnant, and my favorite time is when I watch the light bulb go off and he understands!!! To see his whole face light up because he finally gets it is priceless❤️
I’ve been homeschooling 7 years. I recently read teaching from rest and it’s changed my outlook on schooling!
I have been homeschooling for 5 years now.
We did light pre-school last year, but this year will be our first official year homeschooling. My daughter starts kindergarten this year. I was homeschooled for 5 years so it isn’t new to me.
Thank you for your book list. Encouragement is always a blessing.
