If you're looking for read aloud recommendations, I'm sharing my favorites with a brief summary of WHY we love them! There are so many books out there for the homeschool mom to sift through, it's sometimes difficult to know what's good and beautiful and quality literature! We need recommendations from fellow homeschool moms who share our values, so that's what I'm here for!
I'm sharing these homeschool read aloud recommendations in 4 categories:
Our favorite general read alouds
my kids favorite books
recommendations for teens
historical fiction read alouds that you will LOVE!

We read Up from Slavery with our juniors and seniors (I'm a teacher at a Christian private school) and it's so very vital to understanding how we should be thinking now. His thoughts and life were phenomenal! Another one to read is definitely the Autobiography of Frederick Douglas, who actually was a slave for longer than Booker T. Washington, and has similar thoughts and ideas. Those are a lot of great recommendations you gave!

Love your recommendations and can't wait to hear which picture books you suggest as well. We've really enjoyed the Thornton Burgess animals books such as "The Adventures of Reddy Fox" as well as books by Eleanor Estes like "The Moffats" and "Ginger Pye". The Paddington Bear books have also been a hit recently. For beginner readers, particularly girls, we really liked the Sophie Mouse series. "The Saturdays" was another book we really liked, it is part of a series.

I love Thornton Burgess books so much! When I was a little girl we had the whole set. They were all hardcover and the covers were pink. My dad would read them to us every night and use all different voices for each character. My dad had given all those books to me but when I got married, my mom put them into her storage with all my other stuff from my room. She didn't tell me when she was having some financial trouble and couldn't pay for the storage and by the time I asked about my things so I could get them (about a year later), they were gone. If I have a chance of getting a set of hardcovers I'll jump on it. Until then, I just buy the little Dover ones, and they're fine because at least the stories live on.

Rachel, when you said your next video would be on picture books, you got me thinking! My son is a little old for picture books but he struggles with writing. Maybe I could use some of your recommendations to inspire him to write a story based on what he sees? Might be a great way to work on sequencing and inferences. What do you think?

Not a picture book. More like he would look at the picture and possibly get inspired to write a story. He is pretty behind in writing (he has autism and ADHD) and avoids writing whenever he can. I'm trying to find ways to make it a bit more fun for him while trying to inspire his creativity. He is a very bright young man, but has trouble organizing his thoughts and getting them down on paper. He also struggles with all writing concepts.

I saw the movie, Where the Red Fern Grows, a few years ago. It did not do the story justice, in my opinion. I remember loving the story back when I was in school. My daughter and I did read-aloud time for most of this school year. Then suddenly she decided one day she didn't want to read that day. This started happening every day, until finally I had her start reading on her own. I'm really sad that she doesn't want to anymore, but I guess my girl is growing up!

Thanks for the heads up!! I actually love to point these sort of things out to my kids to help sharpen our observation skills. Reminds me of the Charles Spurgeon (I think) quote that reads, “discernment isn’t knowing right from wrong, but right from almost right.” So yes…thank you for pointing that out!

Mine is from “The Good and the Beautiful” and I like it so much better than the version I got from the library bc the words were larger. I hate squinting to read!!! Unfortunately, I’m not sure that TGATB sells this book separately, but you could check. I got it in the high school book pack.

Also, I have the virtues book. I haven’t made a habit of reading it to my kids yet because I don’t plan ahead. When I do pick it up, the stories aren’t organized by age comprehension so it makes it hard finding one on the spot. However, it is worthy so I think I’ll plan ahead and read it myself too while I’m at it lol.

Can I ask what your definition of good literature is? Is it God friendly? Or just popularity

That’s a good question. So yes on “God-friendly, even if it’s not specifically Christian. It’s not going to fight against my faith. it’s literature that doesn’t glorify bad attitudes especially towards parents or proper authority figures , promotes good moral character, and a story line that isn’t dumbed down. So if any adult can still appreciate the story, it’s a good story
