We were very happy with this study. Gave us some great discussion and helped us to dive in to the subject as well as vocabulary
great book and guide was fun to follow.
This has been a helpful supplement to our reading.
It covers vocabulary, reading comprehension, thinking deeper, biblical references and has some fun activities. It's challenging but appropriately so, not too much for any child I believe.
We used this guide and enjoyed it. There is a study of vocabulary in each section, discussion questions, and questions for critical thinking. I especially appreciate the use of the Bible in some of the questions.
