Hello, Marlene!
Your study guides were designed to summarize the most important points of your lessons. Your guides will also provide you with the specific chapters and pages you should be reading to correspond with each lesson plan. It is important to read both the Study Guide first, to be sure that you understand the objectives of what you should be learning in each chapter, as well as making sure you are reading the correct pages. (In some cases, you may not necessarily need to read a certain chapter or your guide may tell you to skip over certain pages in your textbook). Here is a brief, but great set of pointers on how to study written by another student:

Happy Studying!
