Tour 3 Grammar Lesson Plan Samples

Many of our CSH families are very generous, sharing what they have done to plan their year. If you are looking for a little help or just some new ideas these will surely help you out!

Begin by reading Now what should I do? to get your feet wet. And if you haven’t read the Lost Tools of Learning yet, now is the time.

Follow that with this general overview: Planning for the Grammar Student

Now, let’s get to some specific book lists!

A great example of what a family reading plan can look like from Erika Drain.

You can see that she has made a plan for her entire family, rather than an individual plan for each student. See more of what Erika does at Raising (& Teaching) Little Saints
