Some things are missing from our year, namely "How to Read a Book", which I read in Term 1 and chose to put off until a later year.  We skipped The Grammar of Poetry due to cost concerns and hope to pick it up in Year 8. We are also not reading current events. 

Weekly Schedule

We started off the year following our Year 6 schedule (substituting the appropriate books of course). I like this schedule a lot because it is very flexible. 

I have found that this routine works best for us.  We seem to be able to get everything done and if we don't due to illness or vacation, we can use Friday to catch-up.  I use this schedule with a binder to track our weekly progress.
