Quick answer
Choose Level 1 if your child is exploring personal heritage and community; choose Level 2 when they are ready to study Canadian society and provincial topics.
What each level covers
Level 1 kits focus on the child's immediate world: Kit A covers personal heritage and culture, while Kit B looks at the child's community today and in the past. Level 2 kits expand to broader Canadian themes: Kit A explores Canada and the child's province, and Kit B examines Canadian heritage and society.
Teacher support inside each kit
Every kit includes two Teacher's Guides—one for integrating subject matters with Social Studies and one for français (French) as a study program. Each guide provides a skills chart, a competency chart, evaluation sheets, and photocopiable activity sheets. You also get 25 illustrated little books per kit. The structure is identical across levels, so the main difference is the content theme and reading complexity.
Pricing and value
Kit prices vary: Level 1 Kit A is USD 293.40, Level 1 Kit B is USD 366.75, Level 2 Kit B is USD 308.07, and Level 2 Kit A is USD 366.75. All have a catalog comparison price of USD 489.00, so each kit offers a discount. The price difference reflects the number of components or book count, not the level difficulty—check the specific kit contents if budget is a concern.
Trade-offs at a glance
- Level 1 Kit A (Mon patrimoine et ma culture): Best for early French readers who are just starting to explore their own heritage. Lower price point (USD 293.40) but limited to personal/family themes.
- Level 1 Kit B (Ma communauté : aujourd'hui, autrefois): Expands to community and history. Slightly higher price (USD 366.75) but adds a timeline dimension that some children may not be ready for.
- Level 2 Kit A (Le Canada et ma province): Introduces national and provincial geography/civics. Price USD 366.75. Requires basic reading fluency and some prior social studies exposure.
- Level 2 Kit B (Le patrimoine et la Société Canadienne): Focuses on Canadian heritage and society. Price USD 308.07. More abstract concepts may challenge younger or less experienced readers. If your child is comfortable with Level 1 themes, Level 2 Kit B offers the best value for the next step.
