I LOVE this! This is why we made a switch from formal reading curriculum. ❤️
I’m so glad you enjoy it! Yes we started this about a year and a half ago and I’ve never looked back. It’s been the best decision!
Yes! I got my little one a vintage children's fairy tales book and I was surprised at some of the story details in there . I just wasn't used to that. Thank you for sharing! 🙏☺️
Lol we have something similar. I read some to my kids and thought - oh wow! These are intense lol but even still we enjoy reading them. Makes it interesting! 😉
I love this so much. It reminds me of the brave writer program, but I love how you are able to do it on your own. I'm as excited as you are. ;)
Lol yes! A lot of inspiration came from Brave Writer - that and Learning Language Arts through Literature. But you’re right - the freedom to pick our own books and go at our own pace has really been so nice!
Always appreciate your DIY language arts videos! Keep 'em coming!
I’m so glad. Thank you ❤️❤️
I am going to try this.
It seems great. Thank you for sharing your experience building a language program that works for your daughter.
I have twin 10 year old daughters in 5th grade this 2024-2025 school year.

I'm so happy to hear you'll try it out. Thank you so much for your kind words. I truly hope you and your girls enjoy this approach!
I’m so glad I found you and this video! What a blessing to something I’ve wanted but not sure how to do! Thank you💕
I'm so happy to hear that! Thanks for following along!
I’m so loving this!!! Thank you for the free printable!🙂
I’m so glad!! ❤️❤️
I’ve implemented this with my 13 year old son today. School was done in 2.5 hours, which included 2 math lessons. He’s is currently not into fictional books. He is really interested in Astronomy, so we’re using his textbooks (and we have a lot😂). I feel like this is a great way to learn. He is reading the text to me. Thank you so much for this video.
I’m so glad it’s helpful!! ❤️❤️
I really love the way you do this and thank you for sharing!! I will definitely be implementing this in our homeschool!
I’m so glad to hear that! Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy it as much as we do ❤️❤️
We are about three months in to using the DIY Language Arts and still enjoy it! I’m saving these video for when we read Trumpet of the Swan with our birds science unit. Only thing is that my 5th grader likes projects at the end of the book. So I’m searching on Pinterest for ideas.
When we finished Escape Mr. Lemoncello’s library we did a scavenger hunt at the library, baked lemon cupcakes and watched the movie version. So much fun.
We are currently studying poetry using a moving beyond the page unit. It’s okay but my 5th grader is ready to get back to our normal LA curriculum 😊.
I agree with you, now our books fit us and not us fit the books!
I love hearing this!! And I love the idea of something fun after novels! My oldest daughter recently got a recipe book called Literary Tea and it’s filled with recipes that correspond with classic novels. It’s so fun! We are actually hosting a little gathering soon for some friends that just finished a novel with us. We will be baking a recipe or two and celebrating the book with them!
How did you like Lemoncellos library? I’ve heard so many good things!
@@simplylearningtogether651 The book was better than the movie! The book club sound cool. Are you going to dress like the characters in the book?
@@fab5bailey369 not this time, but that would be fun!
Love this!! It sounds very similar to how A Gentle Feast lays out LA!
Thanks!! I’ve never seen their LA. I learned a lot from Brave Writer and Learning Language Arts through Literature. I’ll have to check out Gentle Feast! I love seeing how others are set up!
Not me over here hurrying to take notes so I can start this with my 9 year old tomorrow. 😂 We haven’t had luck with box LA at all. We’ve switched so many times. I feel like this would be a good fit for us!
Yay! You can do it!! The book is adorable and I’m know you’ll fall in love with the freedom! ❤️
I've got two boys (8 and 6). We love read alouds and I'm so excited to try this style later this year! If we're new to narration what would a good way to start that with my 8 year old? Thank you for sharing!
Definitely start by practicing oral narration first. When you’re reading aloud, stop here and there and ask him to tell back to you what youve read. That’s the super simple explanation lol I highly recommend Know and Tell by Karen Glass (linked in comments). It has walked me through every step of the way. From oral to writing. From 6yo through high school! It’s an excellent resource!

Do you ever feel that you need a separate writing curriculum? Or is narration enough?
I used to. After I read Know and Tell by Karen Glass I don’t feel that way anymore. I have no writing curriculum and I have watched her writing develop more and more in a natural way. She also finds joy in writing because of it! So as of right now, written narration has been so wonderful and we do not plan to add more formal writing.
