The World of Captain John Smith by Genevieve Foster

Includes World History

Genevieve Foster’s writing is beautiful and interesting! This book is scheduled in two ways-reading it cover-to-cover over twenty-eight weeks, or to read the book cover-to-cover over fourteen weeks, and then move on to another brilliant book by Foster, George Washington’s World. If you are reading the book over the entire year, you will be reading approximately fifteen pages per week. If you choose to read the book in fourteen weeks, you will be reading approximately thirty pages per week. Note that this book, as well as George Washington’s World, and another book by Genevieve Foster, The Year of the Horseless Carriage are all scheduled for Form 4 independent reading.
