I’m excited to bring you a brand new product: Lit Bites!
Lit Bites are small literature unit studies, based on just one book. These bites contain everything you need to study a piece of literature with your child. They include vocabulary, discussion questions, and activities based on the story.
I am frequently asked what I do with ALL of the books that don’t make the cut when I’m working on a full-year level. Sometimes, a book is great, but it just doesn’t quite fit the overall theme of the level I am working on. Or the book is too advanced or too young for where I needed it to fit. Or I just had to pare down too many titles. There are myriad other possible reasons too. I always felt sad when I read something great but I can’t seem to squeeze it into a level or unit study.
That’s why I’m so excited about this new product! With our Lit Bites, I can finally find a place for those books that I loved, but couldn’t find a home for elsewhere in Build Your Library!
These short units are perfect when you just want to study a specific title, or when you need to swap a book out of a level. Now you will have a ready-made literature unit to use instead of having to come up with something on your own!
Our Lit Bites are also a perfect way to sample Build Your Library. Not ready to commit to a full-year level? Try out a Lit Bite! Just looking for something new to add to your homeschool day? Lit Bites to the rescue!

Hi
Are there any samples of the Lit bites?
Not at this time, but I plan to make something soon so you can see the inside. However, if you are familiar with the format of our full year and unit studies, it’s laid out very similar.
My daughter is taking a semester of Contemporary Lit this year and these have been a life saver in planning out her semester. I’m hopeful to see more Lit Bites for the older ages soon. Thank you!!!
Thank you! I have a lot more in the works!
Are these units set to cover a certain number of weeks? Just trying to plan ahead!
Yes! Each unit is scheduled for you between 2 – 4 weeks depending on the book. I include that in the full descriptions of each Lit Bite.
