A self-paced literature and language year for middle school families. Read the story, hear your child tell it back, talk together, and let the handout hold the writing.
Two living books, one wartime world, and a question underneath it all: what makes a place to belong?
Begin with a fable, a poem, and a picture book. Then follow three siblings into the English countryside in A Place to Hang the Moon. Art, Vaughan Williams’s The Lark Ascending, and occasional nature and history connections help the story’s world become more tangible.
In Number the Stars, Annemarie and Ellen live with danger on familiar Copenhagen streets. The children look closely at courage, then follow a true historical thread into the spring research project.
Oral narration comes first. The weekly written response rotates among narration, a few questions, and one connection. Go Further is there when you want it.
