Brave Writer + Layers of Learning
Brave Writer + Layers of Learning
grammar,
handwriting, etc). The Arrows are generally for grades 3-6, while Boomerangs are for grades 7-10 and contain a mix of fiction and non-fiction.
I've correlated, as best I could, the BraveWriter Arrows (regular type) and Boomerangs (italicized type) with the different units. There are several
books in this list that are placed in two units- usually because they fit a geographic location and a historical time-period. Read through the list
completely to decide in which spot you would like to read it. Many more books are included in this program that didn't fit with any of the units,
or I couldn't figure out where to put it. Happy reading!
