Use as a separate maps course or as a supplement to any social studies program. A wide variety of topics are covered with full color illustrations and engaging examples. Book D: States and Regions, covers the basics of maps and globes; cardinal directions; locating new places; map keys, symbols, colors and elevation; distance and scale; highway maps; regional maps; Charts and graphs and more. Glossary, answer key, skills index and collection of full-color North American maps included. 76 pages, softcover. Non-reproducible pages.

Oops, I almost omitted map work with Nigel entirely until I took notice of this series. His sisters each completed one book years back; now it was Nigel’s turn.

Sometime in a child’s education it is good to familiarize him with the skill of understanding how to read maps, diagrams, charts, and graphs, and the colorful pages of these books do a superb job of providing an interesting sampling of activities. If, like me, you are not particularly fond of worktexts, you’ll be glad to find that no teacher’s guide is needed; the answers are in the back. The lessons can be done once a week or so, offer a good variety of forms and topics, and are short and pertinent.

The books progress in difficulty. For example: Levels A & B (for early elementary) have 21 lessons; D has 30; Levels G & H have 42 lessons. If you only have room for one course, I recommend G for a teen. Approx. 50 to 90 pages each, softcovers from Modern Curriculum Press.
