Important Notes...
We realize there is a lot of information provided. Do not let this overwhelm you. Feel free to skip any rabbit trails or magic dust projects that do not fit into your schedule or do not appeal to you.
We have provided you with enough information for several weeks' worth of study. However, this course is designed to be self-led. Please make it work for you -- whether that be over several weeks or several months.
About What Is Included
- Read, Write, Learn:
- This section includes reading assignments for all levels, copywork, and Latin vocabulary exercises
- Questions to Ponder:
- These are thought questions to teach critical thinking and freewriting. There are questions for all age levels.
- Show What You Know:
- This is a wrap-up of all the student has learned for that week.
- Rabbit Trails:
- These are rabbit trails of discovery. We hop off the traditional roads of literature and meander down paths about pop culture, history, biographies, poetry, music, and more. We take deep dives into some of the subjects touched on in the book and broaden our minds with new adventures.
- Magic Dust:
- In these lessons, we bring literature to life by sprinkling a bit of magic dust along the way. These hands-on projects take us into the book where we touch, see, feel, and learn on our new adventures.
- Party School:
- The pinnacle of the Literary Adventures for Kids' experience is the Party School! At the end of each study, we celebrate with a party. Invite friends or family over for food and fun! All the ideas for food, decorations, and activities are included.
