What perfect timing!!! I love when God uses you to help me!!!! We are really looking into our book schedule and thinking..think. think. think!
Thank you, friend!!!
Glad that our 'been there, done that' posts can help you to idea hop.... do remember that this was Daisy's booklist from last year... we do have one developing for this year; and, Daisy has no problem reading from a wide range of books - from very easy reading to young adult level lit. However, if I assigned her less challenging books all the time, she'd baulk.
Sending a hugXX
