Free Chronicles of Narnia Study Guides and Unit Studies

I grew up reading The Chronicles of Narnia Series, and passed that love on to my children. Have you read these in your home? You can turn the books into a great learning experience with study guides, unit studies and Narnia worksheets.

Anyone else a C.S. Lewis fan?

The first chapter book that I ever read was The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis. I couldn’t believe what I was reading! There was a talking lion, magical creatures, and a wardrobe that transported children to a magical land. I knew I would be forever sucked into the wonderful world of Narnia.

When my first born was old enough I bought the complete set for him hoping he would love it as much as I did when I was his age. I was right. He was also a young reader when he started the series.

Why should you read The Chronicles of Narnia?

The Chronicles of Narnia can be a great read aloud for your homeschool and family. The books make for some thoughtful book discussions. 

The series is a great piece of literature with deep stories, characterization and plot. They draw you in to a magical world and make you feel the emotions that the characters are feeling.

C.S. Lewis was a Christian and The Chronicles of Narnia is is an allegory. There are many theological symbols woven beautifully within the story line. The main one being Aslan who is portrayed as Jesus.

It is full of action and adventure which boys and girls will love. It will hold the attention of your entire family no matter their ages.

How many books are in The Chronicles of Narnia series?

There are seven books in this well-loved series: The Magician’s Nephew; The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe; The Horse and His Boy; Prince Caspian; The Voyage of the Dawn Treader; The Silver Chair; and The Last Battle.

What is the correct order for The Chronicles of Narnia books to be read?

The first book many people normally pick up to read is The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, since that was the first book that was written. However, that is not the correct chronological order. 

C.S. Lewis wrote the series completely out of order and the books were published at different times. Once they were all complete he shared the best order they should be read in.

Read more about the correct order on the C.S. Lewis website in this article: The Narnian Order of Things.

If you want to read the books in the true chronological order you would read them this way:

• The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
