This character-building reading material can be utilized as a standalone text, but it is also part of the 4th grade Abeka reading program. Either way, the consumable worktext is a great book for elementary kids. This text will highlight each of the 7 continents, as students read short stories written by someone from a given area or centering geographically around that area. Also, each continent section is littered with fun facts about interesting animals and places. Students are reading short stories, informational texts, and poems that introduce them to different cultures that point back to God’s design.
