Thank you for this video! We've never used BYL, but it's been on my list of maybes for 7th grade for 25/26. Actually looking at the books, I think it will be an amazing fit for us!
I know all of our experiences are different. However, I'd be interested to know about how long you spend each day reading out laud. Also, do your kiddos read 1 book a day? I'm not sure exactly how much work going into all of this... but I am SUPER interested in this curriculum!
Reading varies with each of my kids. My 8th grader is pretty independent so we only do literature together every day. It's maybe 20 pages of a chapter book and if I can find the audio we use that. My 4th grader and I use the books and resources together. It takes a chunk of our morning but I am not actively reading aloud the entire time. And no, we definitely don't read a book a day! Each chapter book takes about 2-3 weeks and the other resources are just read as needed. I have a couple Build Your Library videos showing how I have set it up and hopefully that helps. ❤️
Looking forward to using this curriculum and this video is so helpful! Thank you!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and hope you love the curriculum!
We are doing 7 this year too can’t wait to follow along
