📚 Nonfiction Series Worth Owning
*Notes:
1. I check out dozens of books from the library to use during our homeschool year, but I also believe that books are worth owning and I believe the research that says that owning books impacts literacy; so, when I say “worth owning”, that’s the philosophy it is rooted in.
2. This will be a post series- many more series in this series to come. 😏
📖 DK Help Your Kids With…
There are many DK series, and I own a ton (more DK to come in future posts) but this is one of my favorites. Perfect references for communal learning!
📖 Kingfisher Encyclopedias
When it comes to Encyclopedias, however, I prefer Kingfisher (although I do own several DK too 🤪)
📖 Understanding…
(Paper Pie/Usborne)
This series is simply fantastic. I utilize it for as many lessons as I can.
📖 100 Things to Know About…
(Paper Pie/Usborne)
We use these in our Fun Facts rotation (how we open our homeschool days), but they could have many other uses. They’re brimming with interesting and engaging info.
📖 Barron’s Painless…
These are great for simple, yet thorough curriculum for my neurodivergent oldest who likely isn’t going to pursue a STEM career and simply needs a basic foundation (and high school credit).
I also use some (like American Government) for communal lessons.
📖 Mini Encyclopedias
(Miles Kelly Publishing)
My kids reference these over and over and we pull them into lessons as well.
📖 Nat Geo Kids Weird But True
More Nat Geo coming in the series, but we love these.
The smaller versions are fun for Fun Facts, but the Know-It-All version is great for a variety of lessons.
📖 Everything You Need to Ace… In One Big Fat Notebook
The best overviews of subjects I’ve seen. LOVE for middle/high school lessons.
📖 Everything You Need To Know About… Homework
(Scholastic)
These are simple desk references that I find are perfect for adding into communal lessons to appeal to my youngest.
📖 Basher Books
All of them.
Every Basher series.
Fun, witty, zany, informative, sarcastic.
We love Basher books so much!
