My Review:
Although I am not a homeschool teacher, I do try to work with my kids each school break to have them continue learning and exercising their minds as much as I can. I love looking for fun books, activities and short lessons to try to do with them at least once a week.
For my son, it has been harder since he has gotten older. He will be in Jr High this coming school year and finding something that he would consider fun as well as educational is a challenge. So finding that he really likes reading some of the lessons inside Studies in World History ~ Vol 1 from New Leaf Press, is wonderful. He has a love for history and enjoys learning more about why and how things happened.
I have found him reading through the student as well as the teacher's books to find out more about some of history's events from a Biblical standpoint. Studies in World History ~ Vol 1 not only tells events of history and make the lessons short and interesting, but also includes occasional references from scripture.
