Homeschool Read Alouds

Today I'm discussing our homeschool read alouds and what we've read so far. Read alouds are a huge part of how we homeschool! I'll be sharing what we're reading so far this 2021-2022 homeschool year and what we have coming up next, as well as give a homeschool read aloud review on the books we've finished. We love reading chapter books together as a family and listening to audiobooks! We really enjoy literature based learning so utilize both fiction and non-fiction chapter book read alouds, and our read alouds are definitely a homeschooling favorite for us. I hope you like getting a look into what we're reading in our homeschool so far this year! What read alouds have you completed so far this year? Will you be adding any of these to your list?

I'm Jess, a homeschool mom of two awesome girls. I'm a reluctant homeschooler turned full-blown homeschool convert! Being a homeschool newbie was a huge change, but we love being a homeschooling family! I've embraced my love for Charlotte Mason and running an eclectic homeschool. I'm so excited to join the homeschool community here on YouTube and get to know more homeschoolers out there! Whether you're a fellow homeschooling mom or are just interested in learning more about home education, I'm so glad you're here! I can't wait to share our homeschooling journey as I share my family's experience living, loving, and learning at home. Introduce yourself in the comments so I can say hello!

It's always fun when the kids are chanting "read another chapter! read another chapter!" because the book is so good!

[somedayillbeontime]

We’ve been reading the wild robot and love it so far!! Didn’t even think of listening to the audio book. Will listen to it!

[TheEclecticHomeschooler]

The audio book for Matilda is seriously THE BEST! So, so good!

[hannahrobertson]

It is by far our favourite audible as well. (the Wild Robot) xxx

[bearhilladventures]

I really appreciate when people give reviews of books and their content. Thank you for doing that thoroughly! The wild robot audio was so great my seven-year-old listen to it in two days.

Thank you for all your time you put into your podcast videos. They have been so incredibly helpful. Can I ask, for The Courage of Sarah Noble read aloud, from where did you find the CM inspired Unit study?

[faithhomeschool]

We haven't tried audiobooks yet but will later in the fall.
The Charlotte Mason study sounds great I will look into it.

[saraavila]

Thank you for the content warnings! I’ve never heard or seen anyone else do that and it is really helpful.

If you’re looking for something thanksgiving themed the magic tree house has Thanksgiving on Thursday.
Like someone else said imagination station books are on my wishlist also you may like adventures in odyssey audio theater series.

[hannahc]

Imagination station is the Christian version of Magic Treehouse in case you’re interested!
We read both :)

I always check The Good and the Beautiful’s book list recommendations, I tend to read books they don’t recommend anyways, but the micro detail that they give is a good place to search content. Common sense media is a place to look as well.

[PorscheRoxy]

Love love loved this video so much!!! The info on the themes and the hard subjects in the books is sooo helpful!! Would watch all your videos like this one!!

[lovely]

I accidentally got the Spanish version for Matilda. I’ll have to check out the audiobook.

[brittanyolga]

I have grown in love with audiobooks lately too!!! We have read The Trumpet of the Swan, A long walk to water, and now we are reading Pax which is such a great fall book. 😊

[heidib]

Would you be able to share where you found the unit study for The Courage of Sarah Noble?

[youngjl]

We've been reading Heidi and we are all LOVING it! We read The Secret Garden last year, and so far I'm really impressed at the parallels my kids draw between the two!

[hannahc]

The Soul of an Octopus is also written by her. Wonderful audiobook!!!! We listened to it a few years back, some of the content was over my kids head at the time and she does mention evolutionary timelines, I don’t believe anything else came up. She narrates the book herself and it is a must listen to book in my opinion:)

We visited our local aquarium after reading it and it was a very good complement to be able to see the content we were hearing about. If you had an opportunity to go behind the scenes and do a feeding that would be amazing as well.

Thank you for sharing. I will be checking out a couple of the audio books you shared.
