Great for all ages

My children and I have really been enjoying this series. I think it can be geared toward children of all ages, including High School. I plan to use it all the way up.

Great for every age
Posted by Michelle on May 24th 2023
I'vebeen using this history program with my 5th and 8th graders. They ask me every day to read the next section and we are actually finishing the book early! That never happens for us! I plan to use this all the way up through high school (I;ll supplement with note-taking and timelines).

Overall good, but lacking in some areas
Posted by Amanda Z. on May 24th 2023
This history program is very good for younger students, but you might want a more thorough one for high-school level. I recommend at least getting the audiobook if you don;t want to get the videos, they really help make it fun, interesting, and accessible for children. The crafts are well thought out and fun, helping to reinforce the week;s lesson. This set works very well as a spine, but I found that it does need some supplementation. There were several civilizations that were not covered (Celts, Indus Valley, Yellow River Valley, Native Americans, etc.), but it was not difficult for me to slip them in between lessons. There is also a lack of color or photographs of actual archeological sites, artifacts, etc. Again, easily supplemented, but enough is missing that I feel justified docking a star. I would, however, recommend this to Catholic families.
Overall, I'm happy with this purchase and would recommend it, but also would heavily encourage that it not be the sole source for your history lessons.

Wonderful addition to my homeschooling
Posted by Maura M. on Mar 26th 2022
My children would complain EVERY TIME they had to do history, but now they look forward to it and actually do not want to stop the lesson!
