Curriculum Review by Harriet Yoder

Say goodbye to the traditional (boring) book reports that we all dreaded at school! Drawn Into the Heart of Reading is an individualized reading program that methodically takes your homeschool student through a step by step analysis of nine different types of literature! It's written by Carrie Austin, the author of the Little Hands to Heaven, Little Hearts for His Glory, and Beyond Little Hearts curriculum.

The Teacher's Guide is multi-level and works with three levels of student books (grades 2 to 8). Imagine having all your different aged students reading the same type of book. Each one reads a different title at his reading level, but you are all on the same page in your teacher's guide! A homeschool dream curriculum!

Drawn into the Heart of Reading allows you to select your student's reading, It's like a "template" curriculum--usable with any good children's books! Each student book has nine units with twenty days of instruction which equals 36 weeks of lessons. You can use the program year after year with different books!
