I once found a language arts/reading comprehension workbook for the Harry Potter books. It was by some obscure publisher, and I could not find them for sale anywhere else except on their website. When we had to get a new computer, I lost all my favorites and now I can't find it. I know Scholastic does a reading guide, but this was a workbook, with activities to go along with the reading (kind of along the lines of Novel Units). Do this ring a bell with any of you? Or do you know of any other such books? My kids are into reading (and rereading in some cases) Harry Potter right now and I need a nice way to throw some more learning in. :)

Thanks!

Ah ha! Luna -- you are a gem! That is the one I was thinking about. I thought it was a "P" -- I was searching Paradise, Pearson...but it was Perfection.

Thank you!!

Something else HP that you may be interested in... there are HP science activity kits. I bought a set of them on ebay. If you search "Harry Potter science kit" on ebay, you should bring up various kits. They were originally sold through a book/science club type thing & that's no longer the case, so ebay is the place to find them. Just thought I'd mention it because it's a fun addition if your kids like doing science kits. (This is the type of stuff we do on Fridays in our house.) Here (http://cgi.ebay.com/11-Harry-Potter-Spells-Potions-Science-Activity-Kits_W0QQitemZ260344224828QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_De faultDomain_0?_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116) is an example of the kits I'm talking about (link is to the lady I bought mine from). But, if you search, there are various folks who sell these kits.

There is also a yahoo group, the Hogwarts Summer Correspondence School (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HogwartsSCS/?v=1&t=search&ch=web&pub=groups&sec=group&slk=1), which is "for homeschooling parents who would like to provide a fun and educational experience for their kids during the summer in the form of the (fictitious) Hogwarts Summer Correspondence School." I looked through all the resources a few weeks ago & it looks very fun. I would like to do it w/ my kids this summer. (Part of the fun is keeping it a surprise from your kids.)

Have fun. :001_smile:

We have some of the Harry Potter science kits -- the kids liked them. The Hogwarts School thing sounds great. I just signed up to join the group. :)

Thanks!
