*The Real Book Read Alouds are necessary to complete The Red Book program.

**The last eleven lessons of The Red Book contain passages to be copied. The books used for the passages are very, very old and most are out-of-print and impossible to find. They were chosen for the purpose of copying to complement skills being taught. It is not necessary to obtain or read these books.
