What People are Saying:
Adding this resource to our study of the U.S., we have realized that there is so much more to know about the geography of our great country than just states and capitals!
Thankfully, author Cindy Wiggers has made it easy to incorporate the often overlooked, but important subject of geography into our already packed homeschool routine. The Trail Guide to U.S. Geography provides lots of guidance while allowing for (and encouraging) flexibility and this is just the balance most homeschool moms need!
The manual is easy to navigate and I am very impressed with how thoroughly material is covered. This resource is destined to be a favorite with homeschool families for years to come! (Cindy Prechtel Editor of homeschoolingfromtheheart.com) For full review Click Here
Trail Guide to U.S. Geography may be used in an individual homeschool, but it is well-suited to use in a group or co-op, with the added benefit of students tackling different activities and sharing the fruits of their studies with each other through presentations and discussion. !

Easy-to-follow resource to teach essential geographical facts and features of each of the 50 U.S. states. Includes 5-minute daily drills, mapping, building a geography notebook, and a wide variety of additional project choices. Student study the 50 states at the rate of about 2 states each week. The literature unit on the Lewis and Clark Expedition (using "The Captain's Dog" by Roland Smith) provides a thrilling way to drive home the relevance of knowing geography.
Students complete assignments by using atlases, outline maps, and other research materials. Incorporating the 5 themes of geography students learn capitals, place location, climate, physical geography, and much more. These simple, yet thorough, assignment choices include:- Daily trails for an overview of geography
- Interesting digging deeper activities
- Geography through Literature
There are a variety of ways to use the three-part manual. Teachers simply select which parts of the book will best meet their needs and objectives. And yes… there are answers in the back of the book!
This interesting approach to teaching makes learning fun and memorable. No student workbook is needed because students will develop their own personal notebooks full of colorful maps, intriguing facts, and surprisingly pertinent information.
Students need outline maps of each state and a U.S. Atlas. Upper grades (8th - high school) will also need a world almanac to perform the daily drills. Art projects use "Teaching Geography Through Art." The Geography Terms Chart is a helpful resource to understand and answer the geography terms questions.
We recommend the Illustrated Atlas of the United States - this atlas is identical to the Millennium Atlas of the U.S. which is out of print.
