Unit Study Based On Little House On The Prairie Books | Little House Unit Study | Little House Novel Units
Lately, my family has been watching a lot of Little House on the Prairie. I am finding the show as enjoyable as I did when I was a small child. I am putting together this unit study to use in the near future with my homeschool. I hope you will find the resources useful for your family. Many of the resources would also be suitable for classroom or co-op use. You can find lapbook resources for the Little House series at the Little House Lapbook page.
