Hi Sarah,
So sorry you are having trouble getting the link. I sent the pdf file directly to your email, so please let me know if you don’t get it and I can try something else. Thank you for your kind words. It means so much! Sheri

You’re welcome! Just wanted to give you a heads up (since you like Bob books) that I am working on making a free Bob Books companion guide resource which has the sight words and phonics sounds review practice sequentially in order of how they introduce them in the books. I made up something like this years ago for myself. I’ve been using this exact guide for all my kids, but it’s in a manuscript tablet written in pencil. I’m trying to make it into a printable for download. If you are on my weekly email list, I will be sharing it there.

Thank you Sherri, Autumn Fires is one of my favorite ones in this selection too. We are in Florida so our Fall calendar time does not match up with exactly all of the well known fall experiences (our leaves fall in January ;>) We do have alot more bonfires now-a-days which is in this poem! And yes, that is very helpful for the copywork. Thank you! I feel like I could ask you so many questions!

You’re welcome! Great question! When my kids are reading Bob books, I usually have them copy a sentence from one of the Bob books they are reading. In my experience with our kids, when they are at the Bob book level in reading, that’s usually about where they are in writing as well, so I use the sentences in the Bob books as their copywork. If he can’t read the sentence easily (ie. selections in the fall themed copywork), then I wouldn’t have him try to write it. I have our kids copy sentences that they can read (or mostly read.) I hope that answers your question?

I have used some of these literature pieces for poems to memorize or read alouds as well! We’ve been reciting Autumn Fires by Robert Louis Stevenson. It’s a great poem to say in the fall. I’m glad you are getting good use out of this!
