How the Guide Works
- Print your monthly checklist, view it on a PDF-compatible device, or print the complete guide to organize in a binder, folder, or bind it yourself.
- Visit your local library or browse an online library catalog to borrow books. If your library doesn't have a copy, simply use the available link to access a read-aloud video.
- Plan your reading schedule. Set aside one or two days each week to dive into your books, or assign a specific day for each title on your list.
- Revisit any titles that brought you joy. The initial reading often focuses on discovering the plot. By reading them multiple times, you’ll have the opportunity to notice details, techniques, and other hidden treasures.
- Scatter books for your children to discover independently. This gives them the opportunity to immerse themselves in the illustrations and story lines.

What's next?
Are you seeking additional ways to immerse your children in exceptional literature? I too felt overwhelmed by various curricula for our family studies, longing for them to align for immersive learning on a few topics. I ended up creating spreadsheets of resources that supported and explored themes from our read-alouds. After attending an inspiring homeschool conference, I transformed those ordinary spreadsheets into beautiful guides tailored for your family!
