Books

Books can be the backbone of a rich home education. Our Books collection gathers read-alouds, reference texts, spines, and story-driven resources recommended by experienced homeschoolers, educators, and caregivers. You’ll find picture books, chapter books, narrative nonfiction, and guides that support subjects from history and science to math, art, and social-emotional learning. Each title is vetted for literary quality, secular and inclusive content, and developmental appropriateness so you can confidently hand them to your kids or use them as part of your curriculum. Use the filters to browse by age or grade band, subject, reading level, and themes such as nature, anti-bias, neurodiversity, or strong female leads. Many families use books from this collection as the core of a living-books style homeschool or to deepen interest-led learning. If you’d like help choosing a book stack for a particular topic or age, Modulo’s AI learning concierge can suggest titles tailored to your child’s interests and sensitivities.
