Harbours to Highlands gives learners an opportunity to learn about many aspects of geography – from the early map-makers to the depletion of the ozone layer to the planets in our solar system.

The stories in this document are written using language and structure appropriate to Level 1 and 2 of the Nova Scotia Academic Upgrading Curriculum. Most stories have two versions – the first versions contain more detailed information while the second versions, appearing under different titles, are much simpler and meant for lower level learners.

The stories are accompanied by questions and exercises to strengthen grammar, comprehension, and math skills.
