We are using Trail Guide to World Geography with a 6th grader this year, and love it! My friend has two of her kids in the younger one (they are 6 and 9) and two of her kids in this level (12 and 14) and she also loves it! I like that you can make it as simple or intense as you'd like.... We've done pretty much just SOTW geography, and maps and compasses with Girl Scouts, and in the two question a day format, this has been a really nice way to revisit world geography with a little more structure. I love the extra maps and possible writing assignments. I know there is so much more I could be doing with it, but it fits just right into our schedule this way.

Good luck!

I have the notebook cd for all 3 levels, with each dc working at a different level. They work independently for the most part & geography is one of their favorite subjects. I'm looking at using the book study during weeks 19-27 for literature & making up a NZ geography unit for our last term in the form of TGtWG. The notebook cd is well worth the $ as all you need to be ready for the week is print out the pages. They include the questions, maps, & a couple of extra pages for researching. And do get the altases that the book suggests. Nothing is more frustrating to a child just learning to research than not being able to find the answer to a question.

JMHO,
