Read together
Choose a living book and read it aloud, a chapter or a few pages at a time.
2
Narrate
Children tell the story back in their own words, with guided prompts along the way.
3
Create
Copywork, drawing, 3D builds and puppet theaters bring the world of the story to life.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What ages are the studies for?
Our studies serve children ages 3–14. Gentle picture-book studies like Peter Rabbit (ages 4–10) suit younger children, Swan Lake works across ages 4–14, and chapter-book studies like The Call of the Wild are written for older readers. Each product page lists its recommended ages.
Do I need to buy the book?
Most titles we study are public-domain classics and traditional folk tales, so you can borrow them from the library or read them free online. Letters from a Cat even includes a free ebook and audiobook, and our folk tale packs include the storybook itself.
How do I receive my files?
Everything is an instant PDF download. Your download links are emailed right after checkout, and nothing is shipped. Print at home or at a print shop as many times as you need for your family.
How do these fit a Charlotte Mason or Montessori home?
Each study is built around living books, narration, copywork and hands-on making. Children read or listen to the real story, tell it back in their own words, and then build, draw and explore the world of the book.
Can I use these with a co-op or classroom?
Your purchase covers use in your own family. For co-ops and classrooms, choose a group license: Peter Rabbit has co-op and school options starting at $39, and more group licenses are on the way.
Which study should we start with?
For younger children, start with the Rabbit Adventures Bundle or a folk tale like The Giant Turnip. For older children, The Call of the Wild is our most complete study, with literature, history and geography woven together.
Every great reader started with one good story.
Start with a gentle rabbit, a brave sled dog or a swan princess, and let the story do the rest.
