Just Kate Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I have never really put together a literature "program" in the past. Instead, I have just read books aloud to ds and helped him choose books on his reading level to read to himself. My first question, is what I've been doing enough? Do I need a more formal program? Also, I would love help choosing good books to use as read-alouds an for ds to read to himself. Any thoughts? We are starting SOTW 1 next year, so I'm not sure about looking to Sonlight to find books, as I think Sonlight is doing American history at the 3rd grade level (we have been working on American history this year). I don't think that what he reads to himself has to match his history, but I would probably rather it be something other than American history for next year. Any other thoughts? So many good books and I want to make sure we don't miss out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cholderby Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 OK, I haven't used this yet. My oldest is in first grade. I sat through an hour presentation by the vendor at a conference and I am quite intrigued and I'm planning on ordering it once ds gets a bit older. http://www.totallanguageplus.com/main.htm It is a book-based language arts program. Sorry I don't have any actual experience with this, I figure one iffy answer is better than none, right?:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
