Homeschooling Voices

From our community

"I absolutely love teaching my kids history with these books."

They really enjoy it as well. My youngest (3yrs) colors the provided pictures. My oldest two (7&10yrs) love the activities and listening to the CD.

"Daddy, let's do HISTORY!" speaks for itself

A feeling of joy filled my heart to hear him genuinely captivated by the goings-on of the ancient world.

"Wonderful series!"

I am a HUGE fan of the Story of the World series. It’s been so much fun delving into history with my kiddo. The books are engaging and accessible and the activity book really brings the whole thing to life.
