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, but lengthy.

    I love the activity book for the map work, the questions, and some of the activities. However, it really is quit lengthy and I find that I don't use half of it or we would never learn anything besides history in a week. My idea was to split it up and use it twice. The first time when they are younger where we focus on the map work and the projects. The second time when they are older and focus more on the questions and comprehension. This has helped get more use out of the books and allows them to learn even more form them!

    Love it

    We have used this for a few years now and although it is parent heavy, we love it. The activities are awesome, the information, and the layout. It works for us.

    Love this Workbook

    It took me a little bit to figure out that all of our actual worksheets (Student pages) were in the back of the book. Once I found them, I put a sticky note in place to find our location and once we got started it was SOOO easy to use and my son loves the coloring pages!

    It works.

    The activity book is a little overwhelming. First of all, it is a huge book, but it is nice that it include the parent and teacher pages in it. It is nice that there are so many different activity options for each chapter, however, we usually only used the map work and comprehension questions. It works for us but isn't super exciting.

    Parent Resource

    This is a parent heavy resource. I thought it might be more of a workbook, but it's more of a list of activities that could accompany each chapter. For a parent teaching multiple grades who aren't all using this resource, it takes a bit more planning that I had anticipated from the kit.
