TheAttachedMama Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Hi Everyone, Does anyone know of a pre-planned world geography/culture curriculum that would be appropriate for a 4-year-old? (He turns 5 in September.) I am looking for something with lots of picture books, etc. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Beautiful Feet has an Around the World study for grades K-3. I would think it could be adapted for a young 5yo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrhodes Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Torchlight (new curriculum) would probably be good. It does lots of picture books and the chapter books it does use for lit are mostly fairly short and still with a decent amount of pictures (I need that for my nearly 5 yr old). We're going to be starting it in the fall. Build Your Library could be good too (very similar to TL), but I think they use more chapter books overall - I know I saw a comparison somewhere were BYL does longer books and TL uses shorter ones so they don't take as long. Bookshark might do around the world for K too, not sure though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historically accurate Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Build Your Library Level 0 (Kindergarten-ish) is around the world. Galloping the Globe is for K-4th grade. Torchlight K does around the world. Way back when, I did Five in a Row as an "around the world" Kindergarten program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweet2ndchance Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Build Your Library Year 0 or Guest Hollow Geography Curriculum could be worked for a five year old as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syllieann Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Mater Amabilis k level has geography using children just like me and a bunch of picture books. There is a weekly plan available. This portion of the program uses only secular books. http://materamabilis.org/ma/prep/kinder/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kfamily Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I have a Reading Around the World Book List at my website for the Preparatory Level. It's designed for only Terms 2 and 3 (so only 24 weeks) but you could certainly add to as you wish. It's not fully developed yet, but it's free. ?
