Can living books of the parents choice be incorporated without overloading the child?
Absolutely. If the books are recreational they can be incorporated into Independent Reading time (if the child is interested and they’re consistent with his reading level,) or used as bedtime (or other time) read-aloud. If they’re academic they can be incorporated into research (students are often directed to find out more about topics at the library or on the Internet.) Every family has its own style and preferences, and TGLS recognizes and tries to accommodate that fact.
