Bigger Hearts for His Glory

I guess I'm confused. Bigger is a complete package which includes *many* books. Why would you need to supplement?

 

I suppose you could look at the Five in a Row booklist and see what fits. Those are picture books. How many children do you plan to do Bigger with? Do you have any idea how you're going to schedule things?

You could try looking at Winter Promise's American Story for some picture books or their LA for readers to match the time period. Are you looking for books for youngers to tag along, or for your main student doing the program?

I think (correct me if I am wrong) that Marsha probably wants to use this with a wider range of ages than the guide is for... including younger children into the program... right?

 

Wish I could help!

 

You could look at the Beautiful Feet Books Primary pack and see what is included in there... you could also go to a Barnes and Nobles and check out their early readers and see what you can find- or, if you like to research (like me)search Amazon.com for the Level 1-3 readers on different topics pertaining to Bigger.

 

Just some ideas!

I think Kay gave a great list! :)
