Free and Low Cost “Whole”istic Learning Opportunities: Reading

We believe in a “whole”istic approach to learning (which is generally free and low cost). So what does that mean to us for reading? Well...it is like this...

 

• Read magazine and newspaper articles of interest locating unfamiliar words and narrating what the reading was about.
• Phone book
• Poems
• Bible
• Encyclopedias
• Short nonfiction selections
• Fiction
• Picture books
• Short stories
• Vignettes
• Biographies
• Historical accounts
• Postcards
• Old letters
• Quotes
• Song lyrics
• Recipes
• Brochures
• Maps
• Charts and graphs
• Catalogs
• Menus
• Almanacs
• Manuals
• Guidebooks
• Junk mail
• Sell old books and hunt for new ones at thrift stores and yard sales
• Check out the free section for books in the e-reader section
• Borrow from the library and friend’s homeschool shelves
• Classics are available for free online
• And our library card is well worn
