Product in review - Wanna Be Series Firefighter

The oldest 3 showing off some of there copywork and coloring


Our family was able to have the opportunity this last week to try out a few products for review.

We started with a study available from The Old SchoolHouse Magazine.
The Firefighter study from the WannaBe Series. This study is downloadable for $8.95.

It is over 80 pages chalked full of information on firemen, fire safety, fire dogs (My little ones personal favorite), and much more. My children thoroughly enjoyed this study and I was surprised at how much they were able to take away from it. It has a lot of reading with some activities and extras mixed in. I was able to keep it balanced and you can easily pick and choose sections to read if you happen to have a student with a shorter attention span. We were able to finish this up in one week but it could be stretched into several weeks with smaller sessions per day. This would be a great study to schedule a trip to the fire station during and now that we have gone through it I am sure just such a trip is in our near future.

Some of my favorite features of this study

-Great copywork in both manuscript and cursive including one word copywork and longer fireman quotes. Something for all writing levels
-Very informative yet entertaining - so much information in one study ranging from fire mans gear to building codes.
-Great set of extras at the end to help extend the study if desired including party and game ideas.
-Very easy study to add supplementals to if your child becomes extra interested.

While my children gleaned a lot from this study it is probably ideal for at least 2nd grade and up. My little ones who are 2 and 3 did find some of the chapters a bit long while my oldest who are 7 and 9 were much better able to absorb the knowledge. That being said my 3 year old has been calling our dog a fire dog since we finished and loves practicing our fire escape plan. :)
