    Good history program for elementary level

    Posted by Amanda Zinser on Aug 10th 2024

    My complaints for this set are similar to the ones for the first set. A great deal of material is left out. There is no mention of the Magna Carta, Elinor of Aquitane, and Attila the Hun gets a single paragraph. No mention of what is going on in Africa, Asia, North, or South America. It's hard for students to appreciate what was lost in the Chinese Communist Revolution if they don't know what came before it. Again, no DVDs, no pictures of actual artifacts or works of art. But the stories are engaging and enjoyable. My elementary level children love it. It's a good spine for history, as long as you are willing to supplement. I do not think it is suitable for a high school level course. I really appreciate the Catholic perspective, however, and I just ordered Volume 3 for next year.

    My family LOVES this series! Why not DVD? Streaming is detrimental!

    Posted by Leslie H. on May 24th 2023

    I move to 5 stars once it is put in DVD format! I purchased the entire collection, because we LOVE this series. My second grader is a big ancient civilization guy, and this is right up his alley. The video is excellent for our homeschooling needs, and my favorite is the video to supplement readings with visual learning. This quizzes embedded in the video is so much fun, and we race to see who can answer the question first-even Mom and Dad! I did misread the description, and thought the videos came in DVD format. I was VERY disappointed seeing it was streaming. I despise streaming, and almost returned them all because of it, but the material is so good I did not. Not everyone has strong enough service to watch easily, connections get interrupted, and it is difficult to view when traveling. Plus, MOST homeschooling families DO NOT allow their kids to just sit with a live internet connection. We care deeply for our kids, and want to safe from such tempting corruption. As a family that travels a lot, I very much want to encourage TAN to produce these in DVD. Many homeschooling families use DVD;s for video talks on language, history, religion, and other subjects. It is a wonderful treat in the school day, and allows for continued learning, and reinforcement of lessons when on the move. Please strongly consider!! Great material!
