We have chosen to use the Sonlight Curriculum for the upcoming homeschool year. Throughout this curriculum we will participate in chapter book read alouds. I have been pondering how to make these read alouds interactive and how to assess comprehension.
While I do plan on having my children participate in a variety of activities to support the themes and lessons of the chapter books, I was also looking for something that they could do for each chapter. So, I came up with these listening comprehension sheets. There are six different pages of listening comprehension forms that were designed to go with chapter book read alouds in order to assess and evaluate the child's listening comprehension. These forms could also be used as book report forms. Each page has a place to record the book title, chapter, and a large box to create a visualization of events from the chapter. Each page has a different writing activity to complete for the chapter. As the parent, I will decide which page will be most appropriate for each chapter. I'm excited to begin using these forms during our new school year. At this time I think I will purchase pocket folders like these and place the forms in chapter order along with a child-illustrated cover and possibly other activities that we complete for each book. What do you think about my listening comprehension forms?
God Bless,

Welcome!
After stalking several homeschool blogs, forums, and a variety of other websites, I have decided that it was time to join in on the fun! Allow me to share a glimpse of my life with you.
We live a pretty typical country life complete with animals, harvesting, and peace and quiet. We love it and wouldn't have it any other way! We began the homeschool journey a year ago and instantly fell in love with the process and the results. We came to accept and enjoy the challenges and rewards that God has granted us.
This blog will be a place to record our homeschool journey, provide inspiration, share ideas and methods, and provide a variety of materials to other homeschooling families. Thanks for visiting and God bless!
