Reading: read-alouds keyed to history/science/whatever strikes our fancy. I don't like to pre-plan read-alouds as I find that the good ones "find" us ...
Writing:

Well, that should hold us for now! Most of the links above go to Amazon pages -- so you can at least look at what we're using. If you purchase through those links, I do get a small commission (which is always VERY appreciated). Another great spot for getting many of these items, a place that has prices just about as good as Amazon, that is Catholic and a worthwhile spot to support is Sacred Heart Books and Gifts. Linda has wonderful customer service, has great prices and free shipping for orders over $25 (to the lower 48) .... what more could you want? Let her know I sent you ... she's a real peach!
