The Little House on the Prairie Book series is a beloved treasure in many homes across the world. When I was a little girl I absolutely LOVED watching Little House on the Prairie on TV and LOVED reading the books even more. I was elated when I first started reading the books with my kids and love that they love them just as much as I did as a child. My daughter is absolutely captivated by the pioneer times and would go back to that period in an instant if life worked like that. 

Little House on the Prairie Unit Study

Incorporating fun activities into our read aloud time is something we all love to do in our house. This Little House on the Prairie Unit is packed full of hands on learning activities to take your read aloud time up a notch.
