Updated booklist: Middle Ages & Renaissance
Hi Reader,
One of our favorite things to do around here is to read (shocking, right?)...and then make our current booklists even better.
If you're learning about the Middle Ages or Renaissance with your kids this year, you'll want to check out our newly updated booklist, featuring nearly 30 of the best books we could find to enhance your studies.
🖨 Here's a printable version
Picture Books are an effective way to add depth to your kids' learning, because they are short (so don't take a huge time commitment or any planning ahead)...
... and they're packed with concise historical information, presented beautifully.
They can also be read with all ages, making for a true family-style homeschool. 🥰
I use picture books in my homeschool all the way through high school. I bet you'll learn quite a lot from several of the books on this list, in fact!
Enjoy this newly updated booklist featuring books set during the Middle Ages and Renaissance.

We ditch the schedules, shake off the shackles of our schooly responsibilities, and relish our new summer freedoms. But by the fourth week, no one's doing any chores, everyone’s got way too much screen time, bedtimes have gone out the...
