Island Schedule/Plan

The page #s are for the last page of the week.

Note: Be sure to look over the Teacher section at the back of GI and the other books
to note that there are exercises, etc there that might be useful to you if your child
needs some reinforcement on various topics. They could be mixed in throughout the
corresponding chapters/weeks or done later.
As you can see, I spread out the practice sentences longer than the rest of the
program. That is because I am doing it with a 2nd grader and I do not want her to
go into Town this school year. . . so there will be a 4-6 month gap between finishing
Island and starting Town and I would prefer to have some Practice Sentences to do
during that time to keep her skills up. You could obviously do 5 sentences a week
instead of 4 and thus get done all about the same time.

*** Poetry for weeks 19 - onwards would include 20-30 minutes each week reading
poems from nice books. Ideally, the child would be involved in choosing the poetry
books and would take turns reading aloud if able. Ideally, read for 5 to 10 minutes
several times a week. . . and then, at least once a week take time to look for poetic

devices. Don't do this with every poem unless it is child led (so that reading poetry
can be enjoyed for its own sake sometimes and not always be an "exercise". Poetry
memorization could also be included if appealing.
### When SI is complete, I would just be sure to include some writing experience in
each of the the remaining weeks of the school year by assigning SI-inspired writing
each week as I am inspired by other subjects, etc.
