The author is a youth pastor and made a play at his church and they encouraged him to make it into a book so he teamed up with a great illustrator and made it happen. There’s a sweet video on it somewhere on TH-cam about it. It has been so delightful to read with my kids.
Loved this! I appreciate how you asses combining them for certain books. And the tip of using audiobooks - I think I’ll be doing a lot more audiobooks next year.
Yes, I was initially so confused why I would read 3 different chunks of a book for all our levels, say parables from nature. It tripled my workload to do that, so out of desperation and necessity we chose one kiddos year for certain books and all read those chapters together. Made a huge difference in this being a doable year for us! And audiobooks are 🤩. It’s created so much more independence for my year 3 this year who needed me to read everything. Hope you have a great upcoming year!
I’m thinking about do some of year 2 readings. Mostly literature and geography. I didn’t really enjoy the literature curriculum we did this year and the geography was ok. I love the books listed on AO so hopefully we get to read some of those
Sounds like some of these might be a good change for you! It’s so nice AO makes their book choices free so we can pick and choose what we want to use instead of having to pay to see the book selections. Very thankful for that!
Free Read -Five Children and It is a fabulous audiobook and was one of our favorites for the year!
Thanks for the suggestion!
My hubby is reading this to our kids before bed. He’s loving it. A lot of the free reads he does with them. 🤍
Definitely get the poetic retelling of pilgrim progress also. It’s so good!!
I’ve never heard of a poetic version! Thanks for commenting about that.

Highly recommend Otto of the Silver Hand, for your Robin Hood sub 😊
Thanks for that suggestion! I actually own it (maybe it was on the free read list or something?) and haven’t ever read it so we may do that.
It looks like a lot of good books! We are about to start year one and are excited!
Year 1 books are 🤩 and so excited for you to connect over them with your kiddo!

Great video!
Thank you!
There is a modern version of Parables that one of the women in the Ambleside group created.
I didn’t know that, thanks!
