 Loved 1-3, Hated 4Jun 10, 2010
History is our favorite subject, thanks to Story of the World Volumes 1-3. The activities were pitched just right for our 1-4 graders, and we are planning to do the entire series again after finishing Book 4. However, unlike the first three volumes, the activity book for Vol. 4 was pitched for students somewhere in 8th to 10th grade. It was not an incremental step up from the other three levels, but a huge leap forward, maybe 6 grade levels or so. It was not at all accessible, fun, or even adaptable for lower grades, and we were so frustrated we quit the book in Chapter 14. I'd strongly encourage the editors and authors to remake this book to be accessible - as are the other three - for younger students.

 Excellent book for grade 4 and upJul 16, 2008
To everyone who is whining that this book is not geared for younger children: IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE FOR YOUNGER KIDS! Ms. Bauer clearly spells out her philosophy that history should be taught in the order that events occur. This book offers lots of literature suggestions for the slightly older student as well as the opportunity to begin practicing outlining as a study technique. As with all the previous activity guides this includes guided response questions for comprehension assessment. For those who want a "unit studies" approach that they can use for multiple grade levels at once, please look elswewhere. This subject matter does not work well with that approach.

Just what we were looking for!Jul 07, 2008
This activity book looks to be exactly right for my son who will be in fourth grade and nine -years-old. He is excited about switching from summaries to the outlines and we all love the maps. You just can't have too many maps in a book, at least in this house you can't.
I can see that if you have not been following the Well Trained Mind suggestions in having your child write detailed 6-10 sentence summaries, then the writing might be overwhelming, but I think it is the perfect next step for those of us who have. Compared to the suggested summaries for the third volume of the series, I was pleased that the emphasis for Volume Four seems to be on organization of writing rather than volume.

More tools...Jun 28, 2008
I didn't think I'd be as happy with this book as I was with Vols. 2&3, but even though the reading lists aren't as extensive, I'm thrilled with the timeline cards & PRONUNCIATION GUIDE! If they were in the other volumes, I missed them. It's such a great idea to have the pronunciation guide when you read aloud! My DD9 will learn how to relate historical events so much better using the timeline cards as well. Can't WAIT to get going!
