I have been studying, yes, studying, Elizabeth's book list and I have a few questions.

I have a three that are "school age", K, 1st & 3rd. Do I gather the books for each grade level & start?

Is that too many books to have going all at once?

Do I combine everyone & start at the beginning?

I appreciate your patience with all my question

If I were you, I'd gather them all, start wherever in the Primary lists suits your fancy and do it all together. Then, choose read-aloud chapter book for you to read to them (it could go with the theme of the primary books or not--a saint's book, for instance) and let your third grader choose something from the Elementary lists to read on her own (again, along the same theme or not).

Thank You Elizabeth

I feel like I found you just in time. I would not have wanted to miss all the great primary & elementary books because we started once the children were too old.

I felt the same way when I first found this wonderful resource! But now I remind myself that, although I missed the boat a bit with ds, I do have dd coming up next year! I can start right from the beginning with her! Plus, ds always likes to sit in and listen to her read-alouds, anyway.

I want to thank you also, Elizabeth. Your work has been, and continues to be, such a blessing to our homeschool.
