Suggested age level: Grades 2-5 �� Click here to view sample WHY YOU’LL LOVE THE READING JOURNAL If reading is a constant battle in your homeschool, you’re going to love this! When one of my daughters began seriously struggling with our reading curriculum, I had to do something drastic. I knew there were some underlying vision issues causing her to be a little below level, but the main issue was that she hated the subject. We needed a change. So I dusted off my M.A.Ed. and created a reading curriculum that would fit ANY book that piqued her interest. Together she and I created something that changed everything. And we want you to have it, too. HOW IT WORKS The Reading Journal is 168 lessons recommended for grades 2-5. Comprised of 28 unique lessons that focus on vocabulary, word study, comprehension, and higher-level thinking skills, the journal cycles through each lesson 6 times throughout the year, providing just the right amount of practice without too much monotony. About once a week, students are asked to evaluate the content of their book based on God’s truth. They will compare/contrast with Scripture, consider a character’s behavior/influence, and even write out how they might share Jesus with the character. Once a child learns how to read, he/she needs to continue skill-building throughout the elementary years. The Reading Journal provides the necessary practice while still allowing the student to choose what he/she would most enjoy reading.
