Oh my! It has been a very long time since I published a set of reading cards from our Book of the Week series! Despite my not publishing a new set of reading cards in over a year (eek!), I have continued to make them for my beginning readers to increase their reading fluency. I …
Whether we are doing school or having a laid-back day around the house, we are a family that reads a lot of books. We love them! Living books have a beautiful way of teaching that I have found in no other method. My children literally soak up the pages. What a joy to watch! This …
A few weeks ago, I shared that the bulk of our learning during the Christmas Season involved living books and reading about the birth of Jesus.

In my opinion, planning what curriculum or unit study were going to work on is only half the battle. Planning independent educational activities for my girls requires thought …
Even though I’ve only posted a few sets of printables to go along with our literature-based unit studies (we’re using Five In A Row mostly), we’re on our 5th book. And it has been one of our favorites so far! In fact, we stretched this book over two weeks because my girls wanted to read …

This semester, I’m tweaking our schedule a bit so we’ll have more time for literature-based unit studies.
