History

History is easier to remember as a story, and The Story of the World tells it that way: four volumes, from ancient times to the modern age, written to be read aloud together. It's the history in our 1st through 4th grade kits, and the activity books add maps and projects to go with the reading.

For 5th and 6th grades our Classic kits move to Notgrass programs, then to Mystery of History for 7th through 10th grade, then back to Notgrass for 11th and 12th grade. Our Nonreligious kits include Discover! social studies programs for 5th through 8th grade, U.S. History from the Critical Thinking Company for 9th grade, and The Nomadic Professor courses for 10th through 12th grade. Capstone's illustrated histories, like Amazing World War II Stories, tell true events in comic-book panels for a child who likes pictures with the reading.
