The Story of the World

The Story of the World: History for the Classical Child

This series by Susan Wise Bauer is wonderful for teaching World History to multiple grade levels simultaneously. My middle kids love it! We just finished the second of four volumes a week ago, and they insisted on beginning the next book immediately. Volume 1 covers ancient history from the earliest nomads to the last Roman emperor.
Volume 2 traces history through the Middle Ages, from the fall of Rome to the rise Renaissance. Volume 3 looks at early modern times. And Volume 4 examines the Modern Age, from Victoria’s empire to the end of the USSR. A corresponding Activity Book is available for each volume, chock full of ideas for expanding and enriching your students’ study of history.
