Cycle 1 History Form 1b+

by

Form Ib includes students who are ages 6 and up. The following books can be read aloud to the whole family or read independently by a student who is able.

There is no history scheduled for students who are 4 to 5 years old, because Charlotte Mason did not include these children in her schools. That said, there is no harm in reading some historic literature to younger children, or having them play nearby while older siblings listen to a history book being read aloud.

A Child’s History of the World by V.M. Hillyer

Includes World History

This is one of my favorite history books to read aloud! This book is written in a literary style and it’s funny, too. Your children will enjoy it! Note that there is a bit of an evolutionary perspective at the beginning of the book. 

This book is scheduled at a pace of one or two chapters per week from Week 1 through Week 28. The first half of this book lines up with the time period studied in Cycle 1, and the second half lines up with Cycle 2.

You can download the pdf schedule at the STAR Store.

Christian Worldview
