I do NOT use MFW book basket ideas. I use what I have here. We do history readings and literaturee readings from TOG. Our book basket is then filled with books from my house (I hate going to the library as I always loose a book or return late :p )
My ds8 really needed extra help with reading, so he is using MFW 1st for Bible and Reading. We use HOD beyond for science, spelling, storytime, art, poetry,math with SM and MUS etc Full right side and a couple boxes on left. We skip history and tie it into out tog readings instead which has been super easy! Sounds like a pain in the butt, but its working!
For my older, I actually have a chart of SL books that are matched to our TOG weeks. I use them as a book basket for older kids and sometimes read alouds for little ones.
