Confused about what is in Literary Adventures for Kids' Unit Studies?
Let's look at what makes up this unit study:
Rabbit Trails
In our unit studies, we go on rabbit trails of discovery. We hop off the traditional roads of literature studies and meander down paths about science, culture, history, biographies, poetry, music, and more.
We take deep dives into some of the subjects touched on in the study and broaden our minds with new adventures — all while building better reading comprehension.
Magic Dust
In every unit study, we bring literature to life by sprinkling a bit of magic dust along the way.
These hands-on projects will take us into the study through science, art, games, and more. Students make connections to the literature by touching, seeing, feeling, and becoming a part of the unit study through the activities.
Party School!
The pinnacle of the Online Unit Study experience is the Party School!
At the end of each unit study, we celebrate with a party. Invite friends or family over for food and fun! All the ideas for food and activities are included.
Hi, I'm Dachelle. I am the owner of Literary Adventures for Kids, and I want to help you teach language arts in a way that is easy for you and fun for your kids.
I'm a former traditional teacher turned homeschool mom. I have a passion for literature and for adding adventure to our homeschool. I have started several book clubs in our community with the idea that each book club should be a celebration of literature.
At Literary Adventures for Kids, I take those experiences and use them to create online book clubs that add that little bit of magic to your children's education.

Commonly Asked Questions
This unit study has topics that would appeal to early elementary students.
The project supply list is provided at the beginning of the course. You may choose which projects you want to do.
This is a self-paced course. There are no starting or ending dates. Feel free to use at your leisure.
The unit study is set up on a day-by-day basis. It can take as much or as little time as you and your child feel you want to spend. That said, the original design is for a 30-day unit study. However, I recommend you choose which projects will be a good fit for your child and not feel obligated to complete all lessons.
We understand that not every book or course is the perfect fit. Due to the digital nature of this product, we are limited in how long we can offer a refund. If you don't find that the course fits your family, please let us know within 5 days of purchase for a full refund. After that time, we will not be able to offer a full refund.
We provide students with the opportunity to share their projects with us. If they choose to share, we will provide feedback in the form of critiques and encouragement. Some of our students use this option frequently, while others choose to submit their assignments to their parents.
This depends on your child. This course is designed for older children to complete mostly independently. (Younger children may need some help.) However, parents should be available to help with projects. I recommend parents review the course before their children begin.
Absolutely! We are a homeschooling family, and we encourage all our children to participate in book clubs. Often we will read the book together as a family read-aloud and then work through the rabbit trails and magic dust together.
