If you’re like me and are in the middle of planning your first grade Waldorf homeschool curriculum, stop and watch this video now! While I don’t go into all the details of what I’m planning (because honestly I’m not there yet!), I do go through invaluable tools that you have to start reading asap. The tools I’m using for our Language Arts blocks are dense and complex, as is our English language, and you need time to delve deep into the subjects of reading, writing, and phonics.
This video is part of a series I’m creating on making our own Waldorf curriculum. Please subscribe to my channel for updates as I add videos throughout the month!
As always, if you’re looking for more information on how to bring Waldorf education into your home, and how to make Waldorf education more accessible, please like this video and subscribe to my channel. You can also find me at the following places:

I'm really looking forward to seeing which stories you pair with the letters (if you decide to share)! Also, your daughter would probably love her own Main Lesson Book so she can immitate your's and her brother's work! 😅

My goal is to share! I feel like I have to sort through so many different partial lists out there and there aren’t any complete lists for those of us creating our curriculum. I definitely want to share once I get mine compiled! And I love the idea of my daughter having her own main lesson book. She’s very artistic and loves drawing, so for most of our book work I’ll have her doing her own art creations. I also gathered some little games so far to keep her occupied if she wants to do her own thing. We’ll see how it goes haha!

I’m in the same boat! First grade year trying to be as Waldorf inspired as possible and in the midst of planning and deciding. I’d love to continue hearing how the year goes for you. Thanks for sharing!

Ahhh it’s an exciting time for us (and possibly a bit overwhelming haha). I’ll be sharing more and I’d love to hear more about how your year goes as well!

I have those books too. The Roadmap to Literacy is one I’m still going through. I received it for Christmas two years ago when my daughter was 6 and then I found out I was pregnant with my third, so getting through it has been quite the journey! It has taken the backseat quite often. The other two books, without the teacher guide (“Working with LMNOP and All the Letters: An A to Z Manual for Parents and Teachers” by Howard Schrager), has just been used as a supplemental material in our homeschool.

Yessss the Roadmap to Literacy is so full of information, but it can absolutely feel overwhelming at times. I can see how a new addition to your family can bump it to the back burner! But what a beautiful reason to make it take a backseat! And I think that’s mostly what I’ll use LMNOP for - mostly supplemental and poetry to compliment the main lesson.

Janet Langley website has an online course , per grade, breaking down and going over Roadmap to literacy and its contents and practical application. I found it highly beneficial 👍

Ahhh this is tremendous! I wanted to talk to someone who took the classes to see their thoughts and I’m so glad you reached out about this. Thank you so much for sharing. If you have any more insights, I’d love to hear them!
