This is a sample schedule with most of the STAR subjects included. This schedule is for Form 4+ independent reading. (Use a Form 1+ or Form 2+ schedule for whole-family reading and then have your student who is in 9th grade or above use this plan on their own). Alternatively, you may wish to read some or all of these books aloud to all of your children. Books Needed for this Schedule: Some of the following links are affiliate links.
