Personal Note from the Author:

Having read the Little House (9 Books, Boxed Set) series to my first graders each year for more than ten years, I have developed my own state-standardized curriculum to go with it. With so many fun learning projects supporting the reading of the Little House series, I had a strong desire to share my insights with other teachers and students. The Little House books are timeless, classic reading for all ages and this curriculum guide will be an asset to learning in the classroom. My heart's desire is that you and your students benefit from these lessons as much as my students and I have.
