Top home education books and resources

Posted on 18 April 2024

During the early months of the pandemic, as schools shut down and children were left unable to attend in person, the need for online resources and support for parents increased tremendously which has ultimately led to a greater awareness around home education and schooling. Since 2018/19 the amount of children in home education has risen by 80%* with this almost doubling in areas such as Torbay and Bury, making the need for educational resources for the home more important than ever.

We cater for every age and stage, covering everything from phonics books to help develop early reading skills to activity books to encourage interactive learning, so your child is supported at every stage of their learning journey.
