We’ve used many of Anne’s guides (for Madam How and Lady Why and every Plutarch we’ve read for over a decade!), and this is another helpful addition.
But I think these guides have an unspoken dual purpose…
Anne models for us how to scaffold lessons, think through the readings, and how to initiate some first grand conversations. Beyond that, she demonstrates the science of relations, pulling quotes from her own time spent in “the city of books” as they apply. If we’re paying attention, these books are teaching us just as much as they are helping us teach our children.
