Focus Guides
Focus Guides center on specific character traits and/or writing skills. Some use extensive scripture. All take approximately 3 weeks to complete. The lessons do not include vocabulary or spelling worksheets; neither do they list optional activities such as field trips or hands-on suggestions found in our regular study guides. The listed titles are not available as study guides; these are Focus Guides only. An * by the writing description indicates the guide includes detailed writing instruction.
