My Sonlight Shelf

Every year when the new Sonlight catalog comes out and the homeschool convention season approaches, I take inventory of my Sonlight library. I check to see which books are still on the shelf where they belong, which have "walked away," and which need to be replaced. I don't yet have a complete collection, but I'm getting really close!

I organize my books with color-coded spine labels. I use a white label (printed on regular address labels) identifying whether the book is a reader, read-aloud, history, or science book. Then I add a small strip of colored paper indicating to which level of Sonlight that book belongs.

Did you know that Sonlight levels are color coded? Just do a search on the Sonlight website for "labels."

Check out my Supplementing Sonlight page for links to activities to enhance your read-alouds and readers!

  2. I home schooled my only granddaughter, she went to work before she took her finals. I am proud to say she went to take her GED exam and scored high in everything but math and they are going to help her with that. It was a experience I would not like to repeat. Have a great week.

  3. Thanks for stopping by and following my blog! That shelf is amazing! We just have 2 cores right now (working on 3!) and now that we have more than one core, I think I'm going to finally use those labels on my books. A project for the weekend, perhaps? ;)
    LOVE your blog!
