If you decide to use the book\u00a0informally, just follow your heart in choosing titles that interest your family most.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Does your child find China fascinating?<\/strong>\u00a0Flip\u00a0straight to the Asia\u00a0chapter, look up your child&#8217;s age range, and dive in.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are you heading on a road trip soon?<\/strong> The North America chapter has you covered!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Did a global topic arise in current events?<\/strong> Head to the country index in the back of my\u00a0book and find all the titles to\u00a0help you learn more about that part of the world.<\/p>\n<p>I even heard of one family who flipped the\u00a0book open at random to decide where they were going to study and &#8220;visit&#8221; next&#8211;so fun!<\/p>\n<h4>Option 2.

It opens up an entirely new way for readers to easily use the book.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I painstakingly went through every title included\u00a0in the reading lists\u00a0to figure out which time period in history they come\u00a0from, then\u00a0organized it all for you in this index.<\/strong>\u00a0So if you have a history curriculum, you can use my book to enhance your studies with other living literature picks.<\/p>\n<p>This means <em>Give Your Child the World<\/em> isn&#8217;t another thing to fit in, but instead adds extra value to\u00a0what you&#8217;re already doing.
