2nd Grade Homeschool Curriculum

The Only Book You Will Need to Homeschool

Maybe you’re brand new to homeschooling and are overwhelmed by where to begin. Maybe you pulled your kids from public school midyear and are now panicking at the kitchen table. Or maybe you’re a seasoned homeschooler who is simply feeling worn down, burned out, and left wondering if you’re still called to do this.

Wherever you are on your homeschooling journey, you are not alone. Mandy Davis, MEd and former school principal, wrote The Homeschool Bible™ not as a checklist or set of rules, but as a homeschooling roadmap to guide you through the real questions that show up in every season of the homeschool journey.

Inside these pages, you’ll find decades of experience condensed into practical wisdom. Legal steps. Curriculum overviews. Daily rhythms. Real answers. But you’ll also find something else_something every homeschool parent needs and rarely finds: permission.

Whether it’s permission to do things differently, to trust your instincts, or to stop performing for systems that weren’t designed with your children in mind, The Homeschool Bible will center you on what matters most and free you from everything that doesn’t.

With this helpful guide, you will

• know what to do on day one
• teach effectively without needing to “become” a teacher
• understand key milestones for littles through high school graduates
• create sustainable rhythms for learning and family life
• answer hard questions with confidence
• find support and community along the way
   

You are capable. Your children are capable. You don’t have to figure it all out to begin. This book is here to hold you steady as you take the next step, however imperfect. Let The Homeschool Bible™ provide you the permission and peace to take that next step today.

Encouragement and guidance to raise readers who can engage both heart and mind with books and the culture surrounding them

A book, too, can be a star, a living fire to lighten the darkness, leading out into the expanding universe. —Madeleine L'Engle

God loves stories. We understand the world and ourselves in light of His great story. And humans reflect Him in their love to tell and immerse themselves in story. But not all stories are equal—or even good.

Good books awaken us to truth, warn us from falsehood, and provide unforgettable examples. They open our hearts to beauty and wonder. They shape us. In The Redeemed Reader, parents and educators find encouragement and guidance to raise readers who can engage both heart and mind with books and the culture surrounding them.

This book offers insight into how to build discernment in children and provides practical tips, examples, and booklists for their literary journey. Passionate about shepherding imaginations and young hearts, the authors read ahead so that you can confidently choose books for your children.

Readers will discover a deeper understanding of how the gospel shines into children’s books and practical guidance for applying these principles. If you want the imaginations of your children to be formed by what is good and true, The Redeemed Reader will equip you—parents, librarians, and educators—to navigate literary culture in a fallen world and to nurture thoughtful readers.
