At the Dialectic and Rhetoric levels - Yes!  You should think of Spools Subjects as mostly a rearranging of content on the page. Everything in Spools Subjects is also in the 2020 DE edition and can be used with it.

At the Lower Grammar and Upper Grammar levels - It depends on what you use the most. At these levels you will see not only a rearrangement of materials, but also some changes between Spools Subjects and 2020 Integrated Tapestry DE.

  • We have updated the vocabulary to better reflect students' abilities
  • We have updated some of the people and timeline items
  • We have edited the introductory history background information
  • We have added History thinking questions (taken from Pop Quiz for both Lower Grammar and Upper Grammar, with perhaps some additional questions for Upper Grammar students)
  • We have added the new vocabulary, people, timeline items, and thinking questions to the Spools Subjects Teacher Manuals for Lower Grammar and Upper Grammar, and we have included answers to the thinking questions.


PLEASE NOTE: you absolutely do not need to purchase Spools Subjects if you are happy with the idea of printing directly from your 2020 Integrated Tapestry DE edition.
