✦ For Teachers & Homeschoolers ✦

Teacher Guides

Printable companions to our read-alouds and picture books, made for pre-K through 2nd grade.

Classic Poetry for the Classroom and Homeschool

Every Storyland Classics poem comes with a gentle, unhurried read-aloud and vintage-storybook illustration, the kind of calm, living literature that suits language arts lessons, Charlotte Mason narration, and quiet time alike.

Our printable teacher guides are made for ages 4–8 (pre-K through 2nd grade) and pair with each read-aloud and picture book. Print what you need and use it at the table, on the rug, or at bedtime.

  • Listen together. Every guide has a QR code to the read-aloud so children can follow the words.
  • Talk and narrate. Discussion questions and narration prompts build comprehension without busywork.
  • Play with words. Free guides include vocabulary with drawing boxes and a word search. Complete guides add word matching, rhyme hunts, and copywork.
  • Perform it. Complete guides (coming soon) add a reader’s theater script and a recitation certificate.

“A refreshing change from the often frantic fare produced for young children.”
