World’s Story 1,2 & 3
We have used World’s Story by Angela O’Dell and MasterBooks for the last three years. We have appreciated the ease of use and flexibility. We chose what to add or not complete for the additional activities. This way it wasn’t too much in a week. The texts read more like and informational chapter book than a textbook. Both of our children loves reading the content. Our oldest loves writing and researching, so she completed more of the additional activities. She really enjoyed World Story 2 and the Medieval times. Our youngest has been reading the text and answering the questions in video versus writing and it’s amazing what she’s remembering! Like a journalist reporting on actual events. We love the connection between Biblical history and general history. Even today something came up in a Math course and applies to some of the content that’s as in World’s story 1. There is a wide range of additional activities you can choose to complete individually or as a family.
My only suggestion would be that they made an audio version. Even having the text read while the child is following along, like the Apologia science curriculum.
We loved it!
