    We’re 7 lessons into SCM’s Module 6.  I’m wondering how you all go about adding in an extra book or two.  I have a book about Gettysburg/Civil War/Lincoln that I’d like to read aloud to my younger girls (the 9yo will probably listen, too).  But if I take “class time” to read it, we’ll be a day or two or three (it’s a longer picture book) “behind”.

    Does that matter?? This is my first experience with a history curriculum that’s already planned out day by day.

    How do you all work in extra books?

    Thanks!

    Don’t feel “behind.” If it’s a book your family needs to read together, enjoy it! 🙂

    We’ve fit some books in place of our literature book or just read some at bedtime or meal/snack times.  I don’t like cramming too many read alouds in during school hours and have found it works best to fit it in another part of our day.

    Okay.  That was one of my thoughts – to have this extra book be a Family Read Aloud for a few days.

    Use audiobooks for books when I can find them. We mostly listen in the van and sometimes at meals.

    I LOVE audio books! They have really helped us fit in some books that I would otherwise not have time to read and so many of them you can find on this site:

    I often read to my girls during lunch.  I usually eat before them.
