Homeschool Conversations with Humility and Doxology

The only thing better than being excited about books on your own is getting to chat with someone who is as excited about reading as you are. So it's no wonder I loved this conversation with Betsy Farquhar! Betsy demystifies the process of reading and discussing literature with your homeschool high school students, and shares the most important aspect of quality writing. Whether you're a mom who can't wait to teach high school English or a mom who is terrified by the idea, you'll find lots of tips and help in this conversation!   Find show notes and complete transcript here: https://www.humilityanddoxology.com/betsy-farquhar Get my FREE Homeschool Planning Guide: https://www.humilityanddoxology.com/homeschool-planning-guide/ Thank you to podcast sponsor Kings Meadow Humanities Curriculum from StandFast.
