The junior version of the Modern History Portfolio "classic" is perfect for children in grades K - 3. The Junior Portfolio contains fewer notebooking pages than the "classic" version, and therefore requires much less writing. Notebooking activities focus on observation, comprehension, penmanship, copy work, memory work, beginning writing skills, and plenty of games and puzzles for reinforcement and review.
The Junior Portfolio is divided into two sections, with the first section containing notebooking pages printed on cardstock paper, and the second section containing the parent guide with all of the instructions and multi-level cut-and-paste activities necessary to complete the book.
NOTE: All of the Junior Portfolios contain the same chapter titles in the same order as the Classic volumes, allowing older children using the Classic volumes and younger children using the Juniors to work side by side.
Use with the corresponding Full Color Maps, for the ultimate in convenience.
While the "Classic" History Portfolios are intended for 3rd grade and up, Junior Portfolios offer even younger children the opportunity to complete their own portfolios, too. Designed as a gentle introduction to both history and notebooking and very similar to the original History Portfolios, these contain more age-appropriate writing spaces as well as suggested material for three ability levels. A Parent Guide and Materials are included right in the book (back portion), but can be removed to allow the student to "own" his portfolio. History selections are coordinated with the Story of the World, but could be used with other history materials. Both Junior and "classic" History Portfolios are now bound in 3-ring binders for extra flexibility.
