Reading Assignments
All students are reading about the same historical topic, but using resources specially chosen for their reading ability and level of comprehension. Weekly, the Primary Page provides families with all they will need for a week’s reading assignments.
Reading charts are
divided horizontally by subject. You only need to assign books in disciplines that your student is covering!
Read-alouds add interest and more information to your week. Designed for grammar and dialectic levels to hear together, these book choices do not answer questions found in the Student Activity Pages. They simply promote “couch time” and provide a bigger glimpse into the time frame at hand.
Sometimes a chart block will have
no assignment in certain subjects. This is fine!
Here on the
Primary Page we have tried to assign a reasonable amount for an average student on that learning level to read in a week. But, you are the teacher! Assign as much or as little as is right for your student.
On the Alternate or Extra Page we list additional titles that may or may not be in print, in case you have trouble finding a recommended book or want to dig deeper into the subject matter. All of these books should be regarded as totally optional.
Many
old favorites are listed here: take a look in your public library if you wish to supplement the primary resources we list. You may also want to check your own home bookshelves — many titles listed here are popular among homeschooling families.
The
history supplement row lists optional books that are not guaranteed to answer questions from the Student Activity Pages. Enjoy these optional books if you are expanding your week.
There are no worksheets or helps available for these titles, but they do provide
excellent alternatives if you have already read the primary suggestions.
These
activity books are easily substituted for those listed on the primary page.
Supplemental
worldview assignments offer greater depth and help with church history studies or praying for unreached peoples.
