Sign of the Beaver

The boys are reading The Sign of the Beaver right now to go along with thier colonial study, which leads into a Native American study.

We are using Total Language Plus. I had originally bought this for last year but my youngest wasn't quite ready for Total Language Plus. My oldest has been using the program for well over a year now and enjoys it.

The Sign of the Beaver is perfect for my youngest, it challenges him without being too hard.

It is a bit easy for my oldest since he is at a much higher reading level, but it follows what we learning about in History and the book is a great book for anyone to read. I also thrown in a little harder assignments for my oldest as well.

I am very proud of my youngest at how well he's handling this book and the lessons. He wasn't really reading very well, maybe at a Kindergarten level or begining of first grade level. But Since he turned 9 this past August he has really taken off with his reading.

He has even read The Lion, the witch and the wardrode all on his own just for fun!
