Australian Homeschool Curriculum that Nurtures a Love of Literature at Home
At Wattle Gum Homeschool, we provide Australian families with a comprehensive Australian homeschool curriculum and supporting literature-based resources. Built around living books, our curriculum empowers families to nurture a love of reading, learning, and imagination in their homes.
Why Choose a Literature-Rich Australian Homeschool Curriculum?
Our curriculum is designed to cultivate lifelong learners. Using living books—classic and modern literature that touches the emotions and fires the imagination—we help children:
- Develop reading, comprehension, and visualisation skills
- Build broad knowledge and historical context
- Make meaningful connections with inspirational people and events
This approach reflects Charlotte Mason’s philosophy, emphasising the power of literature to spark curiosity and inspire learning beyond textbooks.

Living books are central to Wattle Gum Homeschool’s philosophy. They:

By focusing on rich literature, your child gains a strong foundation for interacting confidently with the world around them.
