The Catalog
Great books, with study guides made chapter by chapter. Free to read, print and share.
No guides at Trail Guides yet. They are coming.
From Scouts to Trail Guides
Every book sits at its recommended band, with a band on either side of it: room to stretch, or room to breathe. Each stop is ruled at the line height its guides print.
-
Scouts
1st–3rd
Copywork passages of up to 2 sentences, or 4 lines of verse. Printed vocabulary comes as a crossword.
-
Trailblazers
4th–6th
Copywork passages of up to 4 sentences, or 8 lines of verse. Printed vocabulary comes as a crossword.
Inside every guide
-
Copywork
A short passage from the chapter, chosen for its prose and copied by hand on lines ruled for the band.
-
Discussion
Narration first, then as many open questions as the chapter holds, each tagged with the kind of thinking it asks for.
-
Vocabulary
As many words as the chapter earns, each defined against the sentence the book uses it in.
-
Critical thinking
Written work: evidence in complete sentences at the lower bands; thesis, objection and revision at the upper.
Every guide comes with a Teaching Companion: coaching for the adult, never an answer key.
