Is it right for your child? Answer a few questions to see how Kay Arthur Kids' Studies ranks against 8 other supplements.
See my matchParents like that the books teach kids to find answers in the passage for themselves, with color marking, themed story frames and puzzles that keep a daily habit going, and that one series can serve several ages at once. Cathy Duffy notes it needs moderate to high parent involvement and has a moderate writing load. Complaints are practical: books are not spiral-bound, are workbooks (one per child), and some older teens want more depth.
These come straight from the scoring rules the quiz uses.
