Keep Elementary Reading Skills Within Reach

Give your child a reading reference they can turn to when they need help understanding a story or figuring out what to look for as they read. Reading Guide Safari stands up on the table right in front of them with story parts, word skills, and questions to ask before, during, and after reading.

When they need to find the main character, identify the main idea, describe the mood, or compare two characters, they have somewhere to look. Your child can use it with any fiction or nonfiction book when they need help with a reading term or question. It also works alongside the Elementary Reading Journal. And because it's non-consumable, you can use it again and again.

Suggested Grade Level: Grades 2-5

With the Reading Guide Safari, your child will:

Name characters, setting, plot, conflict, and mood

Build word power with key parts of speech

Ask helpful questions before, during, and after reading

Tell fiction from nonfiction and find the main idea

Think about what is true, honorable, and lovely

Spot What's Happening in Your Book

Your child can read the words. Now they are learning to notice important details, explain what happened, and understand what they read.

The Reading Guide Safari puts the definitions and examples where your child can see them. When they need to identify a character, conflict, adjective, main idea, or author's purpose, your child can look to the guide and keep working.

That means the guide does not become something new for you to teach. It gives your child a reference they can use as they learn to find answers for themselves.

Why You'll Love It

  • Works with any fiction or nonfiction book
  • No prep and nothing new for you to teach
  • Non-consumable so you can use it again
  • Adds reading support without another assignment
  • Works alongside the Elementary Reading Journal

Features

Word Power

Nouns, verbs, adjectives, synonyms, antonyms, and rhyming words are defined right on the guide. Simple examples help your child recognize them in the books they read.

Parts of a Story

Characters, setting, plot, conflict, mood, and more are easy to find whenever your child needs a reminder. Your child also gets a character profile example to help them think more carefully about the people in a story.

Reading Detective Skills

Questions for before, during, and after reading help your child think beyond the words on the page. Each question is marked for fiction, nonfiction, or both, so your child knows which questions fit what they are reading.

Compare and Contrast

A simple Venn diagram using a lion and tiger shows your child how to notice what two things have in common and what makes them different.

Understanding the Text

Your child can quickly check the difference between fiction and nonfiction, what a main idea is, and whether an author's purpose is to entertain or inform.

  • What are the credentials of the Not Consumed team?

    The Not Consumed team exists for one purpose: to help your family grow in faith so you can live #NotConsumed. We are homeschool parents with over 220 years of combined homeschooling experience, advanced degrees in education and curriculum design, and a deep love for serving families well. Every Bible study, family resource, and homeschool curriculum we create is anchored in Scripture and made to be practical, clear, and easy to use, because we know your days are already full.

    We believe the best learning happens when families gather around God's Word together, so we create resources that work across ages and stages to make that time meaningful, approachable, and real.

  • What do you believe?

    We are Bible-believing evangelical Christians. It's our mission to create products that handle the Word of God accurately and literally. We aim to get families into the Word for themselves and challenge them to read and think about it carefully rather than relying on the words and ideas of others. We believe all families should be asking about the theology of the resources they use, as nothing is neutral and everything has a worldview. Here is what we believe:

    The Bible is God's Word and the final authority for everything we believe and how we live. It is completely true and trustworthy in all that it says, given to us by God down to its very words. There is one God who has always existed as three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. God created all things, including human beings, by His own direct act. Salvation is a free and forever-secure gift, received by grace through faith in the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus came in human flesh, was born of a virgin, and rose bodily from the grave. He will one day return in person, in His own body, to reign on the earth for a thousand years. This return will be personal, bodily, and premillennial.

  • Is the curriculum accredited?

    Though schools can be accredited, there is not an accreditation program for curriculum.
