Written from a joy filled Christian perspective, I heartily recommend these books. We offer the Enthusiastic, Joyful, Relaxed Home School Bundle if you want to save a little on all three!

The Three R's
The Three R’s

By Dr. Ruth Beechick

Good advice on what and how you should teach in K-3 from a Christian perspective. If you have small children and you want to homeschool, The Three R's is a great book for starting.

"Three resources in one – Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic! Learn how to take the mystery out of teaching the early grades with this practical, down-to-earth guidebook from Ruth Beechick. The Three R's is divided into three sections that are tabbed for easy reference. The Reading section tells how and when to begin phonics, and how to develop comprehension skills. The Language section shows how to develop written language skills naturally, in the same way children learn oral language. The Arithmetic section explains how to teach understanding of math concepts, and not just memorization of facts." There is a bonus: A removable 2-sided wall chart for phonics and arithmetic.

Homeschool Supermom...Not! Book

Homeschool Supermom...Not! by Susan Kemmerer 9780975854396
Homeschool Supermom...Not!

By Susan Kemmerer, Publisher: Schoolhouse Publishing

Homeschool Supermom...Not! is appropriately subtitled: When Grace Meets Homeschooling. It is the honest, touching story of a fellow homeschool mother. As the cliché goes, I laughed and cried as I read her inspiring story of how God led her on her homeschool journey.

I loved reading about homeschooling her boys. We are homeschooling only boys in this phase of our journey. Our daughters have graduated. Homeschooling boys is very different;, and I need Susan's version.

God's grace and mercy are evident throughout the book. I particularly appreciated the note to single moms who homeschool. It is well-written by a single mom, whom I have met, and a wonderful addition to a great book.

If you need inspiration and help to keep on homeschooling, this book will help,
