The State of New Hampshire requires homeschooling families to keep a log of reading materials used during the school year (per NH RSA 193-A:6). I’ve broken the list down by subjects (as listed in NH RSA 193-A:4). I thought it might be useful to other families so I am making my log available online. This page will be updated periodically as we progress through the year.
