I completely believe it. When young parents ask me for early homeschooling advice, I tell them to start curating a good home library (used are great!) and keep it in the public spaces in the home. Then designate mandatory DEAR (drop everything and read) time once a day, where everyone reads for an hour.

If you do this, you’ll be 90% of the way there for the earlier years (and heck, even the adolescent years if you’ve built this into a habit).

Research data from 160,000 adults in 31 countries concludes that a sizeable home library gave teens skills equivalent to university graduates.

@mattswaim I honestly don't even understand how this will work with Aslan's mane being rather significant.... that are exclusive to male lions.

My supremely talented sister, the novelist @FaithKMoore, will be visiting me in Nashville on October 3 to celebrate the release of her new novel, Wooing Jane! It’s an actually non-cringe romance that all can enjoy. Come by @landmarkbookstn to join us!

@DixieDillonLane Haha, yes!

Homeschooling is going on a unicycle ride around the neighborhood so you can concentrate on listening to Boethius' Consolation of Philosophy.

@friedbr Well, it serves as a metaphor, but it’s also what my 16-year-old son literally did today.

Honor Wendell Berry and make his memory part of your own by memorizing this poem with me.

We only truly know that which we hold inside ourselves.

From last summer:

Requesiat in pace.

[Tsh Oxenreider @tsh]

A good day to re-read one of my favorite poems.

(Wendell Berry, of course.)
