Another HOD question: extensions in Preparing

How many days do you use each extension book for? Our library loans out books for 3 weeks. I was just wondering if the time needed for each book exceeded 3 weeks. Also about how many pages are assigned to be read each day in these extension books?

Hi!
I'm looking at my copy of Preparing for next year. Um....Extension pages to be read each day range from 2 pages of some books to a chapter of The Bronze Bow to 2 and 3 chapters of Shakespeare Stealer. There is not a uniform length of time spent on each book. The books used over three weeks are: Usborne Ancient World Encyc., Aesop's Fables, and The Bronze Bow. Some are exactly three weeks.

Enjoy!
Sarah

Thank you for that information. I was thinking of just purchasing the Usborne book and the Woolly Mammoth book, but maybe it would pay off to purchase the whole package. Thanks again!
