    FAQs

    Can I use this course with an older/younger student?

    Yes. While America’s Story is designed for upper elementary students (grades 3-6), it is also very flexible and can be used with younger/older students. Younger students may require additional teacher involvement, while older students may complete additional activities or research projects to increase the difficulty of the course.

    I have two or more students using this course together, what do I need to purchase?

    We would recommend purchasing additional copies of the Teacher Guide. While the student guide could easily be shared between students, the Teacher Guide contains all of the consumable worksheets your students will need to complete the course. Purchasing an additional copy means each student will have worksheets available and ready for use.

    Do we have to start in America’s Story 1?

    No. Each volume in America’s Story builds upon the next and creates a timeline of American history from the ancient Americas to Modern Times; however, each volume also stands alone, allowing your student to start and stop in any volume.

    Wouldn't recommend
    Review by Sally
    I recently bought this for my 2nd and 6th graders and we are a little ways into the book and I have to stop. The fact that you put parts about children being burned alive in a book for young kids just makes me upset. I wish I could give it zero stars
    Dislike the self-referential style...
    Review by Terri
    America's Story LOOKS wonderful!! It has amazing photographs, lots of illustrations, and certainly maintains a Christian worldview, which is vital to us. But I couldn't use it. I bought it for 1st grade, and set it aside because the author always references herself. "I will tell you..." "when I was a young child" etc. I really dislike that method of teaching. The focus should be on the story, and what happens in the story, not the teller of the story. That just ruined it for me. I could not use it in 1st grade. Got it back out for 2nd. Couldn't do it. Got it out again this year for 3rd grade. Still couldn't do it. It's just a real turn-off to me. Much like a speaker who keeps referring to himself while giving a talk on a topic. I don't think I'm going to be able to use this at all. Every year, I ordered another curriculum. If only the author wouldn't make it about herself, it would be a great curriculum.
    These series are not for us
    Review by Mom of 2
    These America Series books do have great America history truth to them but the questions were poorly worded in the teachers guide and the we had a hard time following the timeline of the books.
    Fun History
    Review by Vanessa
    My son loves the narration and pictures.
    History is now one of his favorite subjects!
    True American History
    Review by Reed Academy
    After we chose to homeschool, we discovered big gaps in our kids' understanding of American History. We loved how American History 1 filled in the gaps and taught American history in a true way.
    Amazing history curriculum!
    Review by Corrie
    I have 2 history-loving sons who have used America’s Story 1-3 for their history the last 3 years. They look forward to every chapter and are super excited to start MasterBooks’ World History next school year. I personally love hearing them develop their own perspective of history through the worksheets and my 3rd grader, a budding artist, particularly loves the sketching exercises in the worksheets. I cannot recommend this program enough!
    Very Enjoyable
    Review by Shay
    My little one loves this curriculum! We use the audio book to pair along with it and it makes it so much more enjoyable!
    I love it!
    Review by Lacey Diaz
    I’ve taught this series to my daughter and now my son and I’ve got to say, I love it. My kids absorb so much from reading about America’s history and I have too! I feel like the workbook is very doable and it isn’t boring!
    Love it!
    Review by Samantha
    We were excited to have something to do together with three different levels! We love learning together and discussing the beautiful depictions and pictures that aid with some of the visual representation of the stories.
    Love!!
    Review by Paige
    We loveeeee these books! They are quick and easy to navigate. The stories are engaging and U even learned! We added a timeline to this and made it a whole history/timeline lesson. It was fun and the kids enjoyed it.
