Index of Lesson Activities to Go With the Little House on the Prairie Book Series My family has had great success using the Little House on the Prairie series by Laura Ingalls Wilder in our home lessons. It has proven to be one of our favorite literature unit studies. In addition to the books themselves, I have used several other resources including: Little House on the Prairie Literature Unit (ISBN 1-55734-539-2) Farmer Boy Literature Unit (ISBN 1-55734-428-0) Little House in the Big Woods Literature Unit (ISBN 1-55734-522-8) Laura Ingalls Wilder Across the Curriculum (ISBN 1-55734-452-3) The Prairie Primer curriculum by Margie Gray (ISBN 0-9652511-0-1) Note: the Prairie Primer is also available from Christian Book Distributors with catalog number LH88061 Calvert School also has a curriculum based on the original Little House series, though I've never reviewed it. The articles in the following index are all original, unless otherwise stated (with re-print or publication permission included as well as credit to the original author). I have used these activities to compliment the Little House on the Prairie books. They are in no way meant to plagiarize the books or any of the resources mentioned or detract from all the hard work of their authors. Rather, they are ideas that are original or that have been modified and re-worked for my own family’s personal needs. I am now sharing the activities with you in the hopes that you can find them fun and useful as well. This index is organized by book, but each article can stand as an independent activity. You don’t necessarily have to complete these activities in any particular order unless otherwise stated. There are some overlap between books as far as useful activities go, so you will see some of the activities listed under more than one book. Active articles will appear as underlined links. Additional activities will be added as they are published.
