Junior Treasure Chest - Purple Sparkle

I was delighted to find this We read "The Light and the Glory" last year not knowing there was a study guide This year I found this study guide for "Sounding Forth the Trumpet" and wished I had been able to have the study guides for the first two booksThe benefits are that the chapters are outlined for the teacher There are vocabulary words and important names and places listed We read the book out loud and I really didn't need to prepare since all that I would have needed was right there in the study guide There also is an introduction to the chapter which can be read beforehand to introduce the material and questions to read afterward I was also able to design some projects from the study guide I used it only with a high school student Your could use it with astute middle schoolers but I think these books would be difficult for anyone under 13You could read the children's version of this out loud to all ages and then have teens read the adult version alone The children's version may help summarize the concepts for the older onesIt would work for various learning styles but you would have to adapt for them For instance we read history aloud (Mom likes it too!) and that works well for auditory and kinisthetic styles Visual learners could read it to themselves and then discuss or write about the ideasIt compares well to Clarence Carson's history which we also use It was definitely worth the expense
