Ep 2: chapter books that are character driven I k Ep 2: chapter books that are character driven

I keep receiving queries from parents and educators about how their children are not ready to read fantasy yet and the market is flooded with just that.

Many children especially at the beginning of their reading journey prefer books rooted in reality. This is simply because their imagination is still growing and relatable language, plot and characters make reading feel safer.

Here are our top 5 books in this category.
Are these our only faves? Not at all, more coming soon.

Please don't ask me for age guidelines. It is a great disservice to the child's specific needs and interests.

These books are great for beginner readers who are venturing into chapter books and prefer real, relatable, silly characters with relatable struggles.

What should I do next? Fantasy or rooted in reality? Or do you have a specific category you'd like more ideas on?

This question came up in AMAs yesterday and I thou This question came up in AMAs yesterday and I thought I'll do a separate post on this.

These are not the only lovely books on homeschooling out there.  But these are the ones that held me the post, reminded me of my role as not just a facilitator (a parent outside of the HS role as well), and reassured me on hard days.

Some of them inspired me, some gave ideas but all of them restored my belief in homeschooling. 

If you're considering homeschooling, do read these books. Do reflect on the "why" of it because that is what will hold you on the hard days.

If you're already a homeschooler, let us know your favourite read in the comments below.💜
