STAR Homeschool Cycle 3 History

Cycle 3 History Form 1+

by

Form I includes students who are ages 6 to 9. It is sometimes broken down into Form IB (6 to 7 year olds) and Form IA (7 to 9 year olds). 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 hear a history book being read aloud.

Boys and Girls of Colonial Days by Carolyn Sherwin Bailey

Christian Worldview

This book is full of sweet stories for children. I read it aloud to my boys when they were younger, and some of the stories are still in my brain today. I wanted to make sure to include it on this list! Two chapters per week are scheduled for seven weeks, during Term 3. The chapters are typically ten to twelve pages. A sample can be seen on the Yesterday’s Classics website.

Fifty Famous People by James Baldwin

Includes World History

Lined Up with Memory Work

This book of short and interesting stories has one chapter per week scheduled, for Weeks 1 through 24. Chapters are three to four pages long. I did not schedule this book cover-to-cover, but rather, sorted it chronologically and only scheduled the 24 chapters that fit within the Cycle 3 time period. You may choose to read the book cover-to-cover if you prefer to, which will require reading about two chapters per week, and ending in Week 25. For reading that is lined up to the memory work, there is reading scheduled for weeks 10, 11, 19 and 21. A sample can be read on the Yesterday’s Classics website.
