"I am loving the Learning Language Arts Through Literature Blue Book. I wish I’d found it with my oldest daughter because it makes teaching to read so easy and we love using this program. My 2nd grader loves to read and do the activities in The Red Book. She is eager to do her lessons every day. My 5th grader loves the literature she is reading along with The Purple Book. She wrote her first poem during the poetry unit and it was wonderful!"
