Learning about other cultures is important in our homeschool. So far we have spent some time on the Arctic, Europe, and a couple years in Asia. This year we are learning about the Middle East. Our first stop in our studies is the country of Iran. Because my boys are a bit older than my daughter, I’m doing the same study at two different levels.
The books listed as read alouds are ones where I read aloud some portions of the book, but mostly we talk about the book and discuss what we discover on the pages.

- Read aloud Iran: The Culture
