Anne of Avonlea Study Guide from a Christian Perspective

Compiled by Amanda Kaake 2011

 Introduction
While organizing a local homeschool book club, I had the hardest time finding a free study guide for the book, Anne of
Avonlea. My readers are generally ages 9 and up. Thus, the study you will find below will be geared towards the younger
ages.

A few things to note:

1. This study is from a Christian perspective and ties in bible verses.
2. You will notice that the children using this study guide are asked to find a specific location on the map more than once.
This is to not only get them more in the habit of using maps, but get them more familiar with the areas that are being talked
about. We all know that doing things more than once helps us remember them.
3. It is highly possible that I have missed some words that should be looked up or missed out on some questions that you
think should be asked. I do apologize for this. If you have anything you think would be good to add to a future edition,
please feel free to email me at homeschoolingthem@gmail.com I have purposely left a few things out that might be a little
too much for younger children.
4. All pictures in this study were found in online searches. I do not own rights to any of these pictures.

All in all, I hope this is useful for you and your children. Have a blessed day and remember, never stop reading!
