The report card
What parents commonly mention
- positiveThe stories spark curiosity and real conversations (one family dug into how silk is made). Many call it their favorite history curriculum — 'never liked history until SOTW'; the conversational, story style wins families over. Storytelling format makes history come alive — a parent says all her kids 'come running to the table.'
- mixedSome parents pre-screen and skip graphic passages (e.g., battle violence) and frame the myths as 'just stories.' Flexible 'open-and-go or go deeper' design adapts to your schedule and teaches multiple ages together.
- positiveTreats world religions factually/neutrally — used as a secular history spine (a point some Christian families debate).
- positiveHands-on activity book (maps, crafts, projects) supports living, multi-age history.
