Are You Ready to go on a Nature Adventure?

Our nature online book clubs are courses that guide your student through reading picture books while adding optional grammar and handwriting practice. Each book club is made up of 4 parts that are designed to be a month-long nature study. They are designed for students ages Pre-K through elementary. Each nature online book club explores different creatures and plants in nature and leads the student on nature walks for all four seasons.

What is in an Online Book Club?

Rabbit Trails

We will go on rabbit trails of discovery. We will hop off the traditional roads of literature studies and meander down paths about pop-culture, history, biographies, poetry, music and more. We will take deep dives into some of the subjects touched on in the book and broaden our minds with new adventures.

Magic Dust

We will also bring literature to life by sprinkling a bit of magic dust along the way. These hands-on projects will take us into the book through science, art, games and more. We will touch, see, feel and learn about the book through the activities.

Vocabulary & Grammar

Every Family Online Book Club includes the chance to learn spelling and grammar through copywork and dictation.

Go Outside on An Adventure

The best part! We will find ways to take an adventure and explore the world around us in this Nature Study Online Book Club.

Party Time!!

The pinnacle of the Family Online Book Club experience is the Party School! At the end of each literature study, we will celebrate the book with a party. Invite friends or family over for food and fun! All the ideas for food, decorations, and activities are included.

Frequently Asked Questions


What ages of children is the book club for?
This book is a picture book. It would appeal to elementary students.
What are the dates of the book club?
This is a self-paced course. There are no starting or ending dates. Feel free to use at your leisure.
How long should this book club take my child?
The book club is set up on a lesson by lesson basis. It can take as much or as little time as you and your child feel you want to spend. That said, the original design is for a one-month nature study. However, I recommend you choose which projects will be a good fit for your child and not feel obligated to complete all lessons.
What supplies will we need?
You will need the book, The Poky Little Puppy. You may also want a notebook for notes and vocabulary. The project supply list is provided at the beginning of the course. You may choose which projects you will want to do.
Can my child work through this independently?
It will depend on the age of the child. Older children should be able to complete it independently. However, parents will need to be available to help with projects. I recommend parents review the course before their children begin.
Can this be used for more than one child or as a family book club?
Absolutely! We are a homeschooling family, and we encourage all our children to participate in book clubs. Often we will read the book together as a family read-aloud and then work through the rabbit trails and magic dust together.
How long do I have access to the course?
How does lifetime access sound? After enrolling, you have unlimited access to this course for as long as you like - across any and all devices you own for the lifetime of Literary Adventures for Kids.
What if I am unhappy with the course?
We would never want you to be unhappy! If you are unsatisfied with your purchase, contact us in the first 5 days and we will give you a full refund.
Can I use this course with my co-op or school?
Yes. Please contact me at [email protected] for information about school and co-op licensing.
