Books are the heart of our homeschool, and Prime Day is the perfect time to stock up without overspending. My daughter is a visual learner and an avid reader, so I’m always on the lookout for titles that are both engaging and educational. This year’s Prime Day deals include some of our all-time favorites—many marked down 50% or more. Whether you're planning your next unit study or just want to refresh your shelves, this list will help you grab quality books at incredible prices.

When I first picked up How Children Learn by John Holt, I didn’t expect it to echo so many of my own thoughts as a homeschooling parent — or stir up so many emotions about my own education. Holt’s observations of children as natural, capable learners validated the way I teach my daughter: with curiosity, flexibility, and trust. But what surprised me most was how deeply this book challenged me to reflect on my own school experience — and how part of homeschooling, for me, is about breaking that cycle. In this post, I explore Holt’s key ideas, why his work still matters today, and how reading this book helped me heal my inner student.
