Cycle 1 Video and Reading Match Up
One of the reasons why we love homeschooling is because of all the people we get to meet with and share ideas. As much as I love to create resources when I’m inspired, sometimes I come across lists, charts, or organization sheets made by other mamas that just blow my mind. You will love this Cycle 1 Video and Reading Match Up that is cross-connected to the weeks we are studying in Cycle 1!
I love when we can all share ideas that help each other, to make schedules and life easier. That’s what community is meant to be, and I’m so grateful to other mamas who share their talents.
This is one of the ways we build community at Practical Family, so it’s my pleasure to share the hard work and collaboration of Courtney Humphreys, Classical Conversations mama and creator of these Cycle 1 Video and Reading Mash Up Lists.
These lists are based on the 5th edition of the Classical Conversations Foundations Guide. Find out more about the Classical Conversations homeschool curriculum here.
They are available to download here for free in spreadsheet format and include the following book and video series:

How to Use the Cycle 1 Match Up
I found it helpful to download this spreadsheet, print out (or have readily accessible in your digital files), and as you’re creating your schedule for the week, decide which videos would be most helpful for your child’s level of learning, and works best with your family’s schedule.
As you plan for memory work reminders, math and writing practice, use this list as a supplement after that work is done. I like to use these connecting videos and reading options as a reward for getting through the memory work.
You do not need to watch every video or read every book in this list. It is totally up to you how many you use and what can realistically fit into your schedule. We only provide this as a resource to help you easily access these options in one document! Yay for everything in one place!
Thank you again, Courtney Humphreys for creating this list and for all the mamas out there who love to bless the CC community with your time and talents.
Are you going to have the Cycle 2 video matchup?
Hi Nicole! Yes, that’s the plan. We’re working to curate these resources and will send an email to our community when it’s ready 🙂 Join the Practical Family Community on the home page to get that update!
Hi! Is there a reading match up available for cycle 2? Cycle 1 was such a great resource!
Looking forward to Cycle 3 Video match up! Is it ready yet?
Hey Nicole 🙂
I have not had time to create one yet, but if I can make it happen, the Practical Family email list will be the first to know! Thanks for asking and join our list if you haven’t already. Just use the Stay Connected box above.

We love you reading and video match ups!!!
And look forward to cycle 3 ❤️
If you do them 🙂
we are in Canada so I’ll have to find some extras videos and reading…
I just really want to say thank you 😊 for all you do this has just added som much to our year ❤️
Are the green texts in the PDFs supposed to link to the content? If so, they’re not linking for me.
Thanks for asking! I believe the links were part of the original document, but this PDF does not include active links. We cannot keep them updated now. Best to search out each video on the platform presented (i.e., Netflix, YouTube). I’ve changed the document to show all lines as black so as not to confuse anyone else. Thank you for the feedback 🙂
You have no idea how much you have just helped me. This is an AMAZING resource. THANK YOU!!!!
Oh Emily! I’m so glad!!! Thank you for choosing Practical Family
Hi Jennifer! This resource is INCREDIBLE and I’m so thankful I stumbled upon it while preparing for the next school year. Do you happen to have video/reading match ups for Cycles 2 & 3 as well? I recently joined your email list so I’m a newbie! Thanks so much.
Aloha Caroline 🙂 Thank you for your comment! I have not yet created reading and video match ups for the other cycles. I hope to make time for it soon, and your request moves it higher on my list. Enjoy the new school year!
