Homeschool Share & Sonlight
The following chart matches Sonlight titles
with HSS titles. Most of the Sonlight selections are from Cores K-4 with a
few from Core 5. Also, if you have a suggestion for a
Sonlight/HSS match-up that is not on this chart, please
submit it.
How to use this chart: I plan to just choose one Sonlight title
to go with each FIAR picture book. However, some of the Sonlight books are
picture books, so you may want to preview at your library before you decide to
choose just one book. Another way you could use this chart is to
assign your older students a chapter book that matches the unit your younger
ones are studying.
RA= recommended read aloud grade level for the Sonlight suggestions
