READING WITH HISTORY

     The Centerpiece of
     BookShark’s Curriculum
     Through BookShark’s Reading with History
     program, students learn from multiple
     perspectives and engage in thought-
     provoking discussion. We use a variety of
     academic resources including fictional and
     non-fictional literature, biographies, and
     illustrative books to deliver an engaging and
     complete education.

     Starting in Level D, we bring the history content
     to life by integrating History, Geography, Read-
     Alouds, and Readers, all of which also coordinates
     with the same level Language Arts program (LA
     Instructor’s Guide purchased separately).

      History Guide                                           Example Schedule Page

      What you get in a History IG:
      1. Complete, ready-to-use lesson plans
      All your books and activities are fully scheduled for
      the entire year. No need to create your own plans!

      2. Daily schedules
      Daily schedules outline 36 weeks of material for
      History/Geography, Read-Alouds, and Readers.

      “I had a vision for how I wanted to
      homeschool but have been treading
      water, not knowing how to make it
      happen. BookShark is definitely my lifeboat
      that pulled me to shore. It is the curriculum
      we need with the flexibility I want.”
