Cycle 1 History Form 2+

by

Form 2 includes students who are in fourth through sixth grade. The following books can be read aloud to the whole family or read independently by a student who is able.

The Mystery of History Vol. 1 by Linda Lacour Hobar

Christian Worldview

Includes World History

Lined Up with Memory Work

The Mystery of History books are written from a Christian perspective and include world history. I highly recommend this book, and the audios are a great option!

This book is scheduled at a pace of three to four lessons per week from Week 1 through Week 28. Note that Volume I contains 36 weeks of lessons (three lessons per week), and Volumes II, III and IV contain 28 weeks of lessons (three lessons per week). Since STAR is a 28 week program, Volume I is scheduled at a pace of four lessons per week for most weeks.

This book could be read to younger children (Form I) as well, but it may feel like a lot of sitting and listening time for some children, since there is so much good information.

You may choose to read the chapters that line up with the memory work instead of every lesson as it is presented in the book. In this case, there are readings scheduled for this below as well.

You can download the pdf schedule at the STAR Store.

  1. Hi,
    I am interested in your cycles but don;t see any samples online of one weeks of plans or something to know how this works. Is that something you can send over? I am interested in cycle 4 and will have a 10 and 13 year old.
    Thanks so much
