    A lot of good information
    Review by Nichole
    While the assignments could be a bit overwhelming for an 8 year old trying to read instructions on her own; we were able to adapt some assignments and make this an excellent resource for reinforcing what we read in America’s Story 1.
    Would Recommend
    Review by Michelle
    This book is a lot of intense reading, but I appreciated how the topics of slavery, especially, were handled with sensitivity and care. It's so important to learn our history as a nation, and as Christians, be able to process it and set our eyes on Christ. Would Recommend this series.
    Okay
    Review by ALM
    Daughter loved the drawing part, but questions was to hard for her to understand to answer some of them.
    Would Recommend!
    Review by Michelle
    My daughter loved the drawing and writing prompts to go along with the daily reading!
    A Nice Addition
    Review by Emily
    This is good if your kids learn more outside the box. The activities and questions are creative and get you thinking, which is good, but for me personally I would like a little more cut and dry review of historical facts in a teacher guide. It does have the lessons planned out well to be enough but not overwhelming. I still would recommend it.

    Review by Kareth
    This was useful to reinforce concepts in the history book. I used several of the writing assignments for our writing for the day. All of the activities were varied and inspirational. My children really loved the drawing and written narration parts best. This was a fun addition to the history course!
    Not sure what we will use with this
    Review by Carol
    My son loves to learn, but is inhibited by checking boxes and writing out answers, etc. So, I have decided to do the timeline with this.

    We are going to use a heavy cardstock and put them in sleeve protectors and make the timeline as our study, as we go along. He can add his own information on the timeline. I will probably use 'some' of the pages in the guide to add to the 3 ring binder.

    It's sad, really. My son said today, "I love to learn I just don't like all that homework." We only do it to show the state that he did it and it ruins his love of learning. I'm hoping the timeline will be fun for him.
    Good resource
    Review by Christie
    I appreciate the different worksheets, activities, & suggestions listed in the teacher's guide, they help reinforce what we are learning. The hands on activities/timeline are a great way to make the lessons more understandable & exciting for children.
    Does not flow well
    Review by Rhianne
    I love the story book but these daily assignments did not flow well at all. They were not enjoyable and some were very confusing. Half way through the book I decided we'd only do a couple of the assignments that made sense. I don't think we'll be using Masterbooks for history anymore.
    Take it or leave it
    Review by Rachel
    We truly loved America's Story 1, which I used with my 3rd grader, but we struggled to get the worksheets done. Some were a bit advanced for my 8/9 yo, some were a little boring, and some were a lot of writing which my kiddo balked at. After a few months in, we dropped the worksheets and just used AS1 as a read-aloud, which worked better for us. However, if your student enjoys worksheets or if you need paperwork for your portfolio/file, give this a try!
