About the Story of the World Series:

This captivating read-aloud series will introduce your children to the world's great history presented chronologically from the beginning of time. Each volume of The Story of the World includes the details of battles, kingdoms, cultures, and customs from every continent and major people group. It is woven together into stories that children will find mesmerizing. With short chapters, many less than seven pages, The Story of the World presents history in small, easily-digestible chunks. Of particular appeal to children will be the occasional story about a hypothetical child in the culture of that time and popular fictional stories.

The Story of the World is intended to be a read-aloud program for first through sixth grade, but it can work equally well as independent reading by an older child. Don't restrict your scope of history to just American history. These are what we consider the best world history books for this age group. If you have ever found history dull and humdrum, these books might just change that opinion!

The Activity Book offers parents and teachers a complete history curriculum for use with The Story of the World. In addition to extensive reading lists and cross-references to the most common illustrated encyclopedias, the Activity Book contains comprehension questions, sample narrations, maps, coloring pages, and activities for each chapter in The Story of the World. Children and parent-teachers love the activities, ranging from coloring pages and games to mummifying a chicken!

Note: Please do not consider this series a Providential view of history that recognizes God's hand in history. It is a history text that attempts to include all significant historical and cultural accounts. If you are a conservative Christian, you may want to opt out of a couple of activities. And where you find details with Biblical references that are inaccurate because of sparseness, use this opportunity to interject more of His Story. These minor issues are easily addressed and shouldn't keep you from this excellent program.

Great Test

I like how the tests aren’t to long and cover the basics for testing by having a fill-in-the-blank section, multiple choice section, and true or false section. The fill-in-the-blank section is probably the hardest for my daughter to do because she has a hard time remembering names or how to spell them. The good news is that it is only five questions and there is an answer key in the back I can use to help her with that section.

Tests

These tests are a great way to ensure that the material that has been studied is getting absorbed. The Tests within each book level increase in complexity. Which is a great way to challenge your kids. I recommend these test books to go along with the text book and the activity book.

Test Material for The Story of the World Volume 2

The review questions were great in the activity book but we were feeling like we were missing a "worksheet" for her to have after we read a chapter to test her comprehension of the material. Our daughter is a worksheet girl. This is exactly what we were needing, wish it was part of the activity book however!

Love this

We love this book and my son does to! We usually spend a few days reading the chapter then we spend the next couple days going over the review questions and most them time he remembers what we have read! This Is a great product and I will be buying book 2!

Good for older kids

This is the second year we are using the Story of the World for our history. We're using it with our first and third graders. My third grader is able to answer most of the questions, but the tests are much too detailed for my first grader. I would suggest them to be used for third grade and up. The questions are quite detailed and we mostly use them to review the information. We generally do about four days of reading and do the correlating test on the fifth day.
