Level Explanations:
Please note, students must study through the levels up to the required level. For example, for a student studying Level 3, the studying needs to be through Level 3, not only Level 3. So, that student would study Levels 1, 2, and 3.
LEVEL ONE: Most of the Level One countries are large, fairly well known, or are significant in some way (e.g., Panama for the canal). Over the course of the year, students will learn a total of 40 Level One countries by year’s end, plus the 7 continents.
LEVEL TWO: This level covers 10 countries per month (Level One [5 countries] + Level Two [5 countries]). Level Two teaches the location of 80 countries plus the 7 continents and 3 great oceans.
LEVEL THREE: This level covers 15 countries per month (Level One + Level Two + Level Three), or about 115 countries by year’s end. Level Three includes some of the lesser-known countries and island groupings, as well as the continents, four oceans, two seas, the Equator, and the Prime Meridian.
LEVEL FOUR: At this level, students will learn all the independent nations over the course of the year. Each month, 25 countries are studied (with the exception of September and December). In addition, students learn the continents, oceans, seas, bays, gulfs, Oceania, the Equator, and the Prime Meridian.
LEVEL FIVE: At this level students learn all the countries in Levels One through Four, plus the locations and pronunciations of the corresponding capital cities for all countries in Level One. They also learn major deserts and mountain ranges.
