The Arrow is the monthly digital product (like a magazine) that features copywork and dictation passages from a specific read aloud novel (novels listed below, not included with purchase). The Arrow is designed for children ages 8-11 (3rd - 6th grades) and is an indispensable tool for parents who want to teach language arts in a natural, literature-bathed context.
This year's Arrow Guides are brought to you by Melissa Wiley, well-loved children's novelist and Brave Writer instructor! Mary Wilson, popular blogger, is adding a page of Book Club Party ideas for each book this year as well.
Each guide contains the following:
- Copywork/dictation passages
- Grammar, spelling, punctuation, and literary device notes
- Writing activity
- 9 discussion questions
- Book Club Party ideas
- Access to the Private Facebook Group to discuss how you implement the Arrow
