Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania families keep a portfolio: a log made as you teach that names the reading materials, plus samples of the work. A qualified evaluator reviews it each year before June 30.
Every entry you capture goes straight into that log, with the books on the reading list and the photos as work samples, and the 180 days or 900 and 990 hours counted alongside.
