momma aimee Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 We are starting our first 4 year cycle of History in the fall. I want to choose some of our read a louds and addition reading from mathy or science books; but i want to stay in the "ancient" grouping. if that makes sense. What did other use for read-a-lounds, and beginning readers for their say 5 to 8 year olds? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
