For the completion of assignments in this Enrichment Studies, Volume 3, using the Older Group of literature books, we suggest that students should be awarded 1/4 credit for Fine Arts and 1⁄2 credit for Literature. (If you continue similar Enrichment studies through all four years of high school, the student will earn 1 full credit of Fine Arts and 2 of Literature.)

*Three options are given for Family Read-Aloud books: a group of books for younger students, a group for middle students, and a group for older students. Select one of the groups to read aloud to your family—the one that best reflects the age range of most of your students. The Young Group is geared toward approximately grades 1–4, Middle Group for grades 5–8, and Older Group for grades 9–12. If you have a wide range of student ages to accommodate, you may want to select one group of books to read aloud and assign another group to older students to read independently.

Rebecca Seymour –
I love these lesson plans. Everything is in one place; alI I had to do was gather the supplies. An entire year is planned for you. I love starting off the morning with enrichment studies. It just gentle enough to get the mind engaged for the rest of the morning.
Please come out volumes 4. I appreciate your work. Your lessons have made teaching so much fun. It’s Homeschooling with Happiness.
