Recommendation on Literature- Beyond

Post by coastalliving777 » Tue May 08, 2018 11:33 am

This fall I will begin my first year of homeschooling and I plan to purchase half of the literature portion since I'll be using another literature program as well. My daughter would be in the Beyond program. All the books in this program look wonderful but if you had to pick only 4 to purchase any suggestions of favorites?

My favorite 4 would be:
Pagoo
The Railway Children
All of a Kind Family
Benjamin West and His Cat Grimalkin

Other than maybe 2 books, I have read all the read alouds from all three sets to my kids! These are all great books and you can't go wrong. Picking fantastic books is one of Carrie Austin's great strengths!
