Evan Moor Daily Geography - how do you use it?

[Wonder]

Just curious how others use these workbooks?  Do you use it for just a bit of daily work?  Just once per week, doing the whole week's lesson at one time?  Is it mostly independent or do you have to "teach" it?

I have them do each days questions on the day assigned (M-F) as a bit of review. We are doing an intense geography year (mostly notebooking and living books) and spending about 6-7 weeks per continent. So this is just a bit of extra review for map reading. (They have a tab for geography in their daily binder.) I didn't try to line them up with the continent we are using.

If your student is a reader, then its fairly independent. You may need to guide/"teach" it in the beginning to younger students but its very simple and straight forward. Its meant as a warm-up/cool down/transition time workbook. There are like two questions for each "day".

 

We used grades 1-5 (6?). We did a whole weeks worth in one sitting a few times a week.

This is assigned to my 3rd grader as part of her "Afternoon Reading" time. She does 4 days in a row then takes a few days off, so we spread it out through the year (we school year round).

My 5yo DS does it independently. M-F he does each days question for one week. Sat-Sun he completes another week worth of questions. It's very quick and easy.

Okay, so it sounds like it can mostly be used independently and can be adapted as far as schedule, etc. :)  Thanks, everyone!

The only level we used was the 6th grade level. I did have to have my son read the "teacher" page as well as answer the questions. It seems like it gave some context or information that he needed to know on a few lessons. He generally did the whole week at once also.

Our children enjoy them, but they don't fit within our "embodied learning" model where we try to integrate as many subjects as possible.  In the case of geography, this is primarily done in conjunction with the history being studied at the time.  Hence, the Daily Geography workbook is only used as extra drill work about once or twice a month.
