I personally love the story telling, conversational Charlotte Mason style …I have used BJU Press and Abeka for American history and that was dry, my son did not like either. But this time with MBs history ..he is reading through it very quickly, he enjoys it, we enjoy the variety of activities in the TG and most importantly the timeline is his favorite part. We love it and will be doing 2 and 3 in the same year. It’s light enough so that you can choose where to do a deep dive yet stand-alone it’s sufficient. He is retaining a lot and I’m very impressed. He is more analytical, strong in science and math so this course made history very interesting and not boring. I’m not sure if we will stick with the world history bc I might choose Mystery of History bc there seems to be more covered in that one as opposed to MB. As a middle schooler I feel he will be ready for a more in depth look at world History so that he may feel prepared for the HS courses.
Thanks for this review! We're about to start this, having used up to volume 2 of Mystery of History for my 3rd grader. I feel the reading levels of MOH advance very quickly. Do you find Masterbooks to be a better level for younger kids?
I think for younger kids it’s probably is better but I will say we never finished the MB history. We absolutely LOVED early American history from Beautiful Feet Books and that is perfect for all ages
@@miriamnava2836 I will at some point. I have tons of reviews coming up Snd once I get through those and we start using the curriculums I’ll post how we are doing it
America's story is really boring. I love MB ❤️ but this was such a boring history lesson. We could barely make it through. Truly I think it should be geared toward 6th grade and up not 3rd grade.
@@kellyrooney782 I think that’s the struggle with many history curriculums. The subject can be very dry at times for sure. That’s good to know so me and others can choose accordingly. Thank you for your comment ❤️

Hi! Not history related, but are you still doing the video of how you use apologia with masterbooks math together?? 😊
