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.

This is a great program and a wonderful way to help the information get fully absorbed. With each level the types and complexity of the questions change. Which I find helps to challenge my kids. I also like how the sections of the tests are grouped together. This make it easier for me decide the right section or sections I need for each one of my kids. I have recommended this whole series to every person I come across who is thinking of home schooling or is just starting to home school.

a great method of evaluation.

We are using these tests this year, and find they are a nice way to see how much the children are retaining. To switch it up a bit, i'll alternate between giving the children a test from this book or having them do narrations and comprehension questions from the activity book. It keeps things fresh and is a great way to make sure that the knowledge is "sticking"
