When you say, "Booklist for the Week," do you actually get through all those books in one week? Also, do you add any fiction books into what you're studying. For example, my son read a Magic Treehouse Book about Pompei about six months ago, and he still talks about it. I was just wondering if you "supplement" with these books or if your kids just read for fun. Thanks for giving me the education on what you do. It's amazing!
A lot of these books are for my little kindergartner Ella. I read aloud from most of them, but others, like the Magic Treehouse ones, are Keller's independent reads. He has just recently started reading for fun, and today, he read one of the science books on Apollo 13 without any suggestion on my part! That's progress for us! Keller's a kid who would much rather be doing than reading. I read the science aloud as part of our science lesson, and the history ones I are read alouds after I've finished reading from The Story of the World, just as supplemental and fun additional info. There are usually some left over that we haven't read. We do return them all at the end of the week and my new ones are ready to be picked up the same day. I order them all ahead of time and they're all right there on a shelf for me at the library. It saves tons of time! Wow, this was a long comment!
