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.

The Middle School Reading Journal is a full-year homeschool language arts curriculum that allows your middle schooler to pick their own books!
With a special focus on style, facts, ideas, and biographical character evaluation, the nonfiction portion of the Middle School Reading Journal will help your student discern between worldly wisdom and biblically sound philosophies in their reading.
The fiction section hones in on the plot, character development, atmosphere, and literary devices to guide your middle schooler in recognizing when literature presents a biblical worldview and when it glorifies themes or characters who oppose God and His truth.
