Best christian children home schooling books according to redditors

Don't buy the new books for your daughter. The son took over and brought the series into a very Christian theme.

Edit: Basically, watch out for any Berenstain Bears book from "Living Lights".

You might find these [three] books interesting:

Slow and Steady, Get Me Ready

Phonemic Awareness in Young Children

Every child will be different, and it does depend on what they are exposed to.
Building vocabulary (by reading to a child, not lessons or flashcards), phonemic awareness, problem solving and building skills, creativity, and physical agility and strength through play are all more important than learning facts right now. Think of it as creating the sponge that lets a child be ready to learn when they are ready. Knowing an alphabet at 2 isn't that useful, but being able to identify individual sounds in a word is a fundamental pre-reading skill. Knowing what architect designed a building is cute at 4, but problem solving and building things with blocks and such is more important.

Just keep playing, talking, and reading, and it will all be OK.

I meant something like this.

You idea is kind of funny though. "Ye verily, He watches over thou when thou art slumbering. When thou wakes, He knows it. He knows when thou performs acts of good and acts of evil, so be good for the sake of goodness."

Here ya go!

No, no, that's The Berenstain Bears Storybook Bible. This is The Berenstain Bears Holy Bible (New International Readers' Version), neither of which should be mistaken for The Berenstain Bears Storybook Bible for Little Ones.

It's...it's...wow.

Show this gift some love.

It's not specifically geared towards Christmas, I think the Jesus Storybook Bible does an excellent job at both (a) telling the Christmas story and (b) tying everything together from the OT to the NT. Even in the creation story and the earliest chapters, it does a great job of constantly referencing the coming of Christ.

She has many years of play ahead of her! Such important things happen naturally as she discovers her world as you go about your day. Here are a couple of resources that we like:
this one is my favourite, it shows how all the necessary growth and learning happens in the home environment- http://www.thehomegrownpreschooler.com/product/the-homegrown-preschooler/

I liked this to give me an idea for what I can do with the kids, although I mostly used it for making sure the kids were engaging in developmentally appropriate skills by themselves.
With this in mind, discover your own philosophy of homeschool education and preferred methods. My suggestions are reflective of my preference for the Charlotte Mason ideology. I find this beneficial as a SAHM since our greatest resource is what we have at home and outside. This method also works with the idea that kids want to play with the real stuff adults are actually using! I like the Montessori idea, but it’s more feasible and from what I’ve seen, more to my kids’ interests to not have their own version of the adult world to play in, but to join me with the real brooms, pans, food, etc.
You can look into curriculum in methods, and the more you know your daughter’s personality you can figure out what she’ll enjoy. If she loves reading she might do well with a literature-based program, or if she could stay outside all day, find curriculum that takes you outside for much of the time!

Seek and Explore looks pretty good. I think its mostly of children on the older end (+7) but I like how it has devotions for everyday, and the devotions spend time in every book of the Bible, point where we see Jesus in each.

Ok I was half asleep but I went and found the links :)

This is the children's Bible in the off chance anyone was interested. It's definitely for young kids but it's a good overview without being preachy. https://www.amazon.com/Beginners-Bible-Timeless-Childrens-Stories/dp/031075013X

I've devoured this book, and we are on board to Classically educate our kids. If anyone is looking for an interesting overview with a little more theory and a bit more relaxed approach to classical education, Leigh Bortins' The Core was a really good read for our family. I think we'll land somewhere in the middle of these two excellent approaches to a classical education.

Highly recommend this book.

Just kidding.

I'd probably try The Berenstain Bears Show Some Respect

Obviously not for the 17 yr old. A book isn't going to help that one.

I recently bought 'The Story for Children' to read with my 5 year old. So far it is pretty good, great artwork too.

We use the Beginner's Bible every night with our 2 sons.

Covers many great Bible stories, is actually Biblical, and has pleasant art to go along with it.

Both of my sons love it (ages 8 and 5).

Hope this and this help.
