Reading lists curated for older homeschoolers EXPLAINED (with Tiffany Pichardo) | S7 EP6

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. Listen to hear:📚 Why to NOT let your child “just read whatever they want”📚 The balance between reading level and maturity level📚 The #1 reason to read aloud to your middle and high schoolers📚 What to do when you don’t like reading aloudConnect with Tiffany:Follow on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@[email protected] Ultimate Guide to Teaching Your Homeschooler Critical Thinking is not available at this time.SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:Right now, I’m taking a step back from client work and pausing the podcast as I focus on healing from a recent lupus flare, and caring for our youngest son through his brain tumour journey.This space and the work here mean so much to me.
