Enrichment Studies Volume 2: Lesson Plans for Grades 1-12

These lessons breathe life into your homeschool days with the beauty and richness of art, music, poetry, literature, and more. Give your student a well-rounded education that goes beyond the “three R’s” and cultivates a taste for what is beautiful and true.

With Enrichment Studies, Volume 2, you’ll have a complete book list and detailed daily lessons that guide you to add ten wonderful subjects to your schedule. These lessons are simple to do and take only about one hour per day, but the delight and growth they give your family will last a lifetime!

These subjects work well as breaks from the academics such as math, history, science, and language arts. Sprinkling enrichments throughout your homeschool day keeps things fresh and provides a change of pace.
