    Story of the World

    We have been reading Story of the World books for about 3 years. Volume 1 is Ancient History. . The author gives the facts and does not slant the books toward any religion. The Middle Ages tells of Castles, Kings and Barbarians and wars. There were a few events explained as they happened, so the first time through, we skipped a few chapters, when my children were young. However, they are now old enough to read the stories and have liots of questions. Volume 3 and 4 are based on more current modern times. These books have been great for elementary, middle and high-school age children. I bought the books for my children to read as I either read to them or the cd was played. the The narrator has a wonderful voice, which helps the younger children stay engaged in the story.

  • Story of the World: History for the Classical Child, Vol. 1: Ancient Times; EXCELLENT Read-Aloud

    Story of the World: History for the Classical Child, Vol. 1: Ancient Times is absolutely fantastic. Written in narrative, my 8 year old could easily read this and understand, yet it is fascinating for adults to read as well. I read it to my 8-10 year olds. They enjoyed listening and would ask for me to read each day. I would ask them to share what they remembered from the day before, before reading. The activity teaching book (purchased separately) has wonderful projects and ideas. There is also a test booklet that goes with this.

  • Story of the World Vol 1-4 Reader adn Activity books

    The books have so much info that even someone who has a good base of knowledge can learn many new things. I know someone who read this volume & informed me of new information. The Activity books have so many good ideas and fun ways to reinforce the knowledge from maps, games to coloring pages and more. The Activity books have so many references as well, This is a wonderful series.

  • Great supplement

    I think this book is a good overview of history and is a great supplemental reader. I do not recommend it as a stand-alone curriculum. Whether or not you like it depends on how your child learns. It is written like a chapter-book for reading, not like a text-book. It gives factual information and has stories to go along with the facts to put them into a memorable context. It contains a few black and white pics, similar to a novel that might have pics. There is no end-of-chapter terms or discussions or questions as in text-books.
