Books

My boys love to read. My 4 1/2 reads at grade 2 level. Here is what is our book shelves:


  •  Lots of Thomas the Tank Engine books (classics and new ones). Of his favorites are : Railway Rhyme, Thomas' Read-Along Storybook, and Thomas the Tank engine stories: 20 classic Stories in One Volume

  • Lots of Blue's clues books,

  • Lots of Tonka books,

  • Caillou,

  •  The Flying School Bus,

  • Lots of Dr. Zeuss books. Of their favorites are:  Are you my Mother,  Green Eggs and Ham

  • Curious George books,

  • The little engine that could,

  • Fisherprice books (2)

  • Spot

  • 5 Minutes Fairy Tales

  • A Treasury Old Testament Heroes

  • 100 Bible Stories, 100 Bible songs

  • How Many Bugs in a Box


They have many more but these are the ones they read over and over.

My oldest has read and enjoyed the Little Bear book series, some of Martha and George books. He also likes to read anything about train, and Franklin books.

A few weeks ago I got them this book called My World in Words and Pictures by Amazing Clay, and they love it.  My 21/2 loves to carry it along with him. I thought it would be great for them since they are both very visuals and pretty good with sight reading, but also as a tool for learning to spell common household and around us words. I also got them a little dictionary called Macmillan First Dictionary which they use quite a bit as well.

These being commonly called the Five Solas of the Reformation.  Danika Cooley, author and creator of the Bible curriculum Bible Road Trip ,  has recently written a book for young people recounting Luther's story:   When

We received a full year subscription to Visual Learning Systems 's Digital Online Science Program Elementary edition and S econdary edition . Science has always been one those subjects I am having all sort of trouble deciding what to use and never being fully satisfied with what we are doing. Well my search is over.
