Top Favorite!
Review by
Sydney
Masterbooks' history courses have quickly become one of my favorite resources and World's Story is no different. My son was SO excited to start this book and that excitement never wavered throughout the year. I loved that they had different Bible passages to read as they worked their way through the book, further pointing them to the Truth of God's Word and teaching them the archeological support that the Bible has. He learned so much and is anxiously waiting for WS2 next school year!

We are all learning history!
Review by
Maria Gracia
This history books are excellent! We are all, not only our children, learning things from history that we either didn't know, or had never seen the way they are explained. Learning ancient history with a biblical perspective, along with archeological evidence documented, excellent pictures and illustrations have made this history series our favorite!

Open and Go!
Review by

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.
