    love this history
    Review by annamarie
    My son and I both love this history series. Short, simple, open and go lessons. Easy for him to follow and do independently.
    Love This Series
    Review by Magan
    I so enjoyed going through this course last year with my 3 kids. I'm excited to start volume 2!
    Open and Go!
    Review by jennifer
    My daughter completed this series in 8th grade. It was interesting and explained the history well. I would recommend not doing right before High School since students will likely have to this same topic again. It was broken down into manageable reading and work assignments- less than 30 minutes per day. Would definitely recommend!
    Great but..
    Review by Christa
    We've absolutely loved Master Books specially the Middle School to High School I just feel like the TG needs a little upgrade to have a little more hands on.. less worksheet and less repetitive.. with that being said the curriculum itself it's really amazing.
    Student Book is Great
    Review by Paige
    We loved the Student Book. The pictures are colorful, the layout is wonderful, and the amount of information in each lesson is excellent. We stopped using the Teacher's Guide about halfway through because the worksheets have no variety, which grew tiresome. If the Teacher's Guide could be updated to include different types of questions and activities, this would definitely be a 5-star curriculum set.
    Daughter enjoys it.
    Review by Raychal
    We have enjoyed this history program. My daughter has truly enjoyed it, learning a lot and enjoying the lessons. It is easy to add to it if you want to.
    Easy to use!
    Review by Summer
    From a mom's perspective, this curriculum is so easy to use! The lesson planner is set up nicely. Each chapter is engaging and the biblical foundation helped keep my son focused on what matters most.
    A favorite in our home
    Review by Andrea
    Both kids enjoyed "The Ancients." It created conversation and debates between them.
    Quite intriguing!
    Review by Neece
    The World History book set is amazing! My daughter and I love the curriculum. It was great to see her have the opportunity to navigate the various stories that somehow took her back in time, where she wrote her ideas of what transpired, and to see her eyes light up while learning about ancient history.
    Shows relationship between Bible and Ancient History
    Review by Snowangel
    My son liked America's Story better, but I really liked how The World's Story tied in how the Bible related to ancient history and what was happening at certain times around the world.
