If there’s one thing I learned while I was a preschool teacher, it’s that books are powerful tools. They’re non-negotiable for our unit studies now that I’m homeschooling. No matter how busy our week is, new books are a must. Sometimes our budget doesn’t allow for new books, which makes the public library a wonderful resource. If I can’t find something within our theme (which is extremely rare), we still pick up a few books that we haven’t read yet.
Books hit some of the biggest philosophies I implement in our homeschool preschool routine:
- Parent connection
- Learning through play and exploration (books are FUN and get their brains working)
- Low prep (all you have to do is pick it up off the shelf and go
Of course, it works on literacy and language development too, which is important.
