Colleges love to see a reading list from homeschoolers – but how do you go about getting a reading list? Obviously the easiest way is to have your student keep track of all the books they have read. I was never very successful with that strategy myself (nobody is perfect!) Instead, each summer as I compiled the previous year’s work, I had to think of other ways to recreate the information. Consider these ideas:
- Keep your library receipts – they often include the title of books you have checked out
- Keep bookstore receipts and records from curriculum suppliers
- List the books, audio books, and videos that you have required for your students to read, as well as reading for pleasure
- Have your kids collect books from around the house, bringing you all the books they have read in the past year
- Read book lists like these and curriculum catalogs to refresh your memory
