A complete
Grades 2–5 ELA
unit study.
Six weeks. Five ELA strands. Differentiated for every learner. Built by a Master’s level educator with Special Education training and curriculum development certification.
Five strands.
Every week.
Every week of the Anna Lucia curriculum covers all five strands simultaneously so children grow as readers, writers, speakers, thinkers, and people of faith at the same time.
Story analysis, character study, inference, theme identification, and close reading aligned to Grades 2–5 standards. Scaffolded for multiple levels within the same family.
Biblical, historical, and literary vocabulary introduced in context with activities for multiple learning styles. Children learn words from inside the story, not from a list.
Personal narrative, descriptive writing, and persuasive writing prompts written in Anna Lucia’s voice. Children write from inside the story so the skills feel natural, not forced.
Oral retelling, family discussion guides, and a final oral presentation so every child finds their own Anna Lucia voice. Built for homeschool families of every size.
Scripture study rooted in the Douay-Rheims translation with age appropriate theological context and a closing prayer experience each week. Faith woven into every lesson.
Every single week includes a Family Discussion component where all grade levels learn together with no differentiation needed. The moment where a 2nd grader and a 5th grader sit side by side and meet the same God.
One curriculum.
Every child.
Every activity has three tiers so a family with a second grader and a fifth grader can use the same curriculum together. One purchase. Every child engaged at their level.

Five days.
Six weeks.
Every week follows the same daily rhythm so families know exactly what to expect. Consistent structure builds confidence for both parents and children.
Read the week’s section of Anna Lucia. Comprehension activities and first response writing.
Biblical, historical, and literary vocabulary explored through story-based activities.
Writing in Anna Lucia’s voice. Narrative, descriptive, and persuasive prompts by grade level.
Oral retelling, discussion, and presentation practice. Anna Lucia was a storyteller. So are they.
Scripture study, theological reflection, and a closing prayer experience for the whole family.
Setting the scene. Rome, the courtyard, the family. Children meet our narrator and discover what it means to be a storyteller who knows the truth and cannot stay quiet about it.
Who was she before Jesus? Children connect their own experiences of loneliness and longing to Mary’s story. No explanation of her past needed. Just the feeling of being unseen.
Jesus sees her. He calls her by her full name. What does it mean to be truly seen? Children write about a time they felt unseen and a time they felt chosen by someone who mattered.
Her light comes back. What does transformation look like? How does Mary change? Character analysis and personal reflection on what changes when we allow ourselves to be truly seen by God.
Staying when it is hard. Mary at the cross. Mary at the tomb. The moment Jesus says her name. What does faithful love look like when everything feels hopeless? And what happens when He calls your name?
What did Anna Lucia learn? What do WE learn? Final writing project, oral presentation, and closing prayer experience. The story becomes their own. They become the storyteller.
