Not my favorite but well set up
Review by Ashley
Although it wasn't our favorite course and we didn't finish it . I will say it was well layed out and designed. Material was clearly presented and well organized. It just didn't work well for us at the time we used it with the stage of life we were in. This is still a amazing resource but out of all the masterbooks materials we have used and own (and it's a entire bookcase worth) this one just didn't work for our littles at the time.
My child enjoyed it
Review by Gin
My child liked the book for the most part. When we were done using it, she asked me to buy another one for the next year!!
Good
Review by Amy
We were not big fans of the higher levels of this series with my older child, but I am really enjoying Level K with my younger this year.
Vivid pictures
Review by Amy
We loved the pictures in this book! Great introduction to other cultures and languages!
Good intro to history
Review by Lindsay
My middle son enjoyed this a lot!! He loved learning different facts about different places as well as different words/ phrases in different languages. He did find a lot of the journal entries as boring for him but i did have him finish them. Sometimes i just hand him answer me and id write it all out for him.
Daughter Liked It!
Review by Heather
My daughter liked this social studies curriculum. She enjoyed learning about different cultures and their languages. It was a good pace for her in Kindergarten.
Son loved it
Review by Jessie
I used this for kindergarten, along with Simply K, God's Design for Beginners, and math lessons for a living education. At first it was my last favorite to teach because it felt like the most reading, hardest to keep his attention, and the memorization felt like a struggle. After getting into the groove of doing homeschool together he began to really enjoy this and I enjoyed watching him learn from it. He loved the language and Geography. There wasn't anything in this book that conflicted with our beliefs. It is easy to make it work for you. I recommend.
Beautiful Book
Review by Jennifer
My son loves this book, he has learned so much. I keep the cards in the back of the book and just use them as a review once a week. I also use the scripture verses as way to teach him how to look up the verses on his own. Overall great program.
Interesting, but not for us
Review by Elizabeth
I was excited about this for my kindergartener, but she has not loved it. She says she likes it medium. We enjoy the language and geography a lot. She attended preschool last year and a lot of the topics covered she studied last year. I think if she had not so recently done something similar she would be enjoying it more.
Awesome Social Studies Exposure
Review by Nicole
I really enjoy this book. I have my second child going through this book right now. I find the introduction to a variety of topics within the social studies/geography field to be exactly what this age level needs. It keeps things fun and engaging.
