I was very excited to do our first Classic Literature Unit study from Erica over at Confessions of a Homeschooler and we decided to do “Alice in Wonderland.” Nadia is doing a great job strengthening her reading skills, but she still loves for us to read to her so this was a great way to build on our regular daily reading.
The basic layout of this unit is to do a beginning worksheet where the child answers questions and then start reading the book. After each chapter we went to see what the activity was for the lapbook.

Nadia really enjoyed this and by the end I knew that she was going to remember this book for a long time. Stopping after each chapter to complete the lapbook activity really reinforced the story for her. It also opened up some good discussions about how wild and sometimes confusing this book can be.
I am looking forward to the next classic book unit study on our list!
