The Trojan War, Student Guide

Children who are asked to read slightly above their comfort level will develop into superior readers. Reading requires an active, discriminating mind that is challenged to think, compare, and contrast. Our literature study guides train students to become active readers. They focus on vocabulary, spelling, comprehension, and composition skills. The Trojan War by Olivia Coolidge is a beautiful retelling of the story narrated by Homer which prepares students for a future study of the Iliad and the Odyssey while giving them a great read for the present.
