Reading

Today I am going to address next years reading program.  We will be using our local library. I have a book list that we will be reading for Literature.

The Phantom Tollbooth
The Little House Series
Peter Pan
The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood
The Boxcar Children series
The Magic Tree House series
The Chronicles of Narnia series

I will be using a website and the 3rd Grade Complete curriculum for grammar.  Princess will also be required to pick out one fiction and nonfiction book to read on her own time.  Each week she will also hand in a book report one of the books she read in her free time. 

Here is the website I will use for grammar for Princess.

She also enjoys this and I use it to check her comprehension.

With Buddy and Baby girl there are several websites that are fun for them to play on but they will only access one per day for about 15 min.  I set a time limit because I want them to not get to attached.

I have Hooked on Phonics K and Phonics Factory for Phonics for these two.  We will be reading several books also.

Here is their book list.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar
Stella Luna
How do Dinosaurs series
The Alphabet Tree
Three Billy Goats Gruff
Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes
and many others from the library

These two little ones will get to choose whether they want to do school.  I am not going to force them to sit quietly for more than a few minutes.  I have letter magnets and a chalk board and dry erase board for them to play on, and small quite toys for them to play with when they do not want to do school or I need to work with Princess.
