I used this guide for my advanced 5th grader. It was perfect. He read most of the books to himself by I also read them because they were very interesting and I wanted to be able to be part of the conversation with him. I’m a long time BF fan and this guide did not disappoint. They book selection was perfect, sparking a lot of discussions on various topics. I do recommend to read with your student Frederick Douglas’s book as it’s a very important topic and so much conversation will come out of it. I feel like everything, every important topic, every important person, every conflict and war were cover meticulously in this guide. I’m very glad we used it.

We did history 3x/week and didn't finish this one (we usually don't finish BF programs in one year if only 2-3 times/week). We're going to finish up this year before we start medieval. Lots of wonderful books with this study guide!
