Christian Liberty Nature Readers

I’m so excited to be typing my very first review here at The Curriculum Choice!  I truly love books of all kinds and I especially love when I can find great books for my homeschool that cover multiple subjects, which is why I chose Christian Liberty Nature readers for my first review!

Beginning with an alphabet of stories about animals, the Christian Liberty Nature Readers series progresses through insects, spiders, birds, shellfish, turtles, and more, finally ending with a study of marine animals. For grades K-5.

Christian Liberty Nature Readers

I chose this series for my 2nd grader to practice reading because although Spring is around the corner, it has not yet reached my doorstep and we’re looking for it wherever we can get it!  These books are plum full of scents of Spring!  Especially for boys that love the outdoors, these readers are a must.

Beginning with an alphabet of stories about animals, the series progresses through insects, spiders, birds, shellfish, turtles, and more, finally ending with a study of marine animals. Most important is the common theme that everything is a part of God’s wonderful creation.

I love Christian Liberty Nature Readers for several reasons:

  • gentle readers, but with just enough challenge
  • they feel like nature study, even when it’s too cold to go outside
  • little siblings love to listen
  • the glossary in the back gives good practice for looking up words they’re not sure of
  • the sections are short, making it easy to just read a little at a time if need be

These books are great for not only reading practice and comprehension, but they paint a beautiful picture of God’s awesome creation.  There are numerous subjects covered and each book is a little different.  The book we’re reading right now for instance talks about all kinds of things in nature from the honeybee to quails to bison.

Books in the Christian Liberty Nature Series

The series consists of six books ranging from PreK to 5th grade, each book getting a little more challenging.  These are great living books that are available for great prices. 

  1. Christian Liberty Nature Reader: Book K, 2nd edition (Kindergarten; 90 pages; softbound)
  2. Christian Liberty Nature Reader: Book 1, 3rd edition (1st grade; 168 pages; softbound)
  3. Christian Liberty Nature Reader: Book 2, 3rd edition (2nd grade; 186 pages; softbound)
  4. Christian Liberty Nature Reader: Book 3, 3rd edition (3rd grade; 188 pages; softbound)
  5. Christian Liberty Nature Reader: Book 4, 3rd edition (4th grade; 201 pages; softbound)
  6. Christian Liberty Nature Reader: Book 5, 4th edition (5th grade; 192 pages; softbound)

If you feel like you need to enhance your nature study or just get some fresh, new books for some good Spring reading, I highly recommend Christian Liberty Nature Readers.
