    Hi everyone:
    I am so thankful for the many resources of booklists. I have just come across the list of living science books, read-alouds for preschool, picture book recommendations! WHOO-HOO. Now, to compile them all and print them off, so I can get organized in my planning before school. Is there a way to print these off>? There are lots of booklists, and I’d like to have them all in one place to refer to and HIGHLIGHT! 

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks! Those booklists are a wonderful resource. Even more wonderful if I can print them!  🙂

    That would be amazing. Or to be able to print all the early American for 1-3rd. Something like that.

    File –> Print perhaps?

    I copied and pasted the lists into a Word document and printed it from there.

    I would like to print the picture book lists, and read-aloud suggestions, and living science book suggestions, and make myself a reference, sort of a goal to read for each grade. The SCM team has done a great job in compiling these lists….I just wish there was a print format/button. Doug? Other than copy and paste? Would you consider at some point, making these in print format? Thank you for considering!

    Did you try just printing the page from the website?

    I have printed by highlighting with the mouse, right click and “print selection”.

    @kellywright006, Did you have a chance to try just printing the page yet? We work some magic behind the scenes when you print and we would love to get some feedback on what everyone thinks of it. I would be happy to tweak the results to make it as useful as possible for the majority of needs.

    doug, I just tried printing from the website. It seems like too many pages and everything plus the picture of the book. I think what i would like is an excel list with all your recommended books. that i could organize by year/ subject/ author/title. how every i wanted. Which is hard to do in the book finder.

    Doug, which pages are you talking about that ‘works some magic’.  If I click on print on any of the curriculum pages, such as this one for example: https://simplycharlottemason.com/planning/curriculum-guide/math-science-language-arts/ I get everything on that page, including the ‘blurb’ at the beginning about how to teach that subject and all the detailed links for anything clickable.  This doesn’t make a nice clean booklist, but rather a very cluttered page, or rather many cluttered pages.  I don’t seem to have the option to just print one page, so if I only have one year 1 student, I still have to print all nine pages.  Is there somewhere else I’m not seeing that would have just a concise booklist?

    I have already transfered all the books into an evernote list, so I hadn’t thought about this until someone else brought it up, but now I’m curious about the ‘magic’ you are talking about!  LOL

    Yes, I agree, Kayla! If it could be printed in a spreadsheet that would be the icing on the cake!  When Iprint it, it prints the webpage witht he heading (literateure page from the curriculum guide) all about literature….would be nice to be able to sort info in an excel doc……

    Doug, which pages are you talking about that ‘works some magic’.

    The original question was can we print the book lists, which I was assuming to mean the curriculum guide pages like the math, science, language arts example you gave above.

    We are sometimes asked for a print button on the pages because many websites used to have such a button or a “make printable” link. People got in the pattern of thinking they could not print a web page without one. It sounded like that might have been the case here.

    We automatically do what those buttons on other sites have typically done, but we do it when you print normally. You’ll notice that we remove most of the page header and menus, all the stuff along the right side of the page, and all the footer stuff. Many things are changed to black and white to help save ink too. That way when you print you end up with just the main page content that you care about. (The exception would be if you’re using a really old web browser.)

    It’s great to hear the additional comments about how you would like to use the information, though. That’s a big change to what we have now, but we’ll certainly keep it in mind for the future.

    I use the website printfriendly A LOT. You coy the URL into a bar and then it will print or give you an option to make a PDF. You can also select a box to remove pictures.
