SL Core H Book Pre-Line Up and Set Up

SL Core H Book Prep

Pre-Line Up and Set Up

New Set Up Design!

As Dd is technically in "High School" she wanted me to mark her books so she could see which book to read next.  I had been writing on the inside of the first page the core, week it was to be started, whether it was a "Reader" or a "Read Aloud", and on some books I wrote the schedule it was to be read--so she knew which chapters or pages were to be read in each days allotted reading.  Apparently having to open each book was not helpful enough, so I wrote on a colored piece of paper the relevant information and adhered it to the spine of our Core H books.  To spell out what I wrote on each book:
"SL" = Sonlight
"R" = Reader (for Dd to read herself, alone)
or
"RA" = Read Aloud (for me to read aloud to Dd)
"#" or "8" = the order she is to read the books, starting with "1"
"H" = Core H in the Sonlight Core

We have two Core H Instructor Guides (IG), a partial one from 2008 and one from 2013.  I like the old format of SL IG's b/c the book questions are all together, whereas the newer cores have the book questions split up into the weeks' section.

Each book will either be a "SL" (Sonlight) book or one that I've Added-In, which probably was a Sonlight book in a previous or future core than the core I am using.
I put the Sonlight Bible books in her cubby first:
"BBC" = Turning Your Bedroom Into A Bible College by Gregg Johnson
"But Don't All Religions Lead to God" by Green
Daring To Live Life On The Edge by Loren Cunningham
Live Like A Jesus Freak by DC Talk
(I've bought a few filler bible books that we will add-in after we finish our Veritas Press: Gospels program.  I have bought five high school Bob Jones University Press bible books, but I haven't figured out where (or when) we will fit them in.)
