Cycle 4 History Picture Books Form 1

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.

There is one picture book scheduled per week. A lot of these books are about humans who lived during the Cycle 4 history time period. Also See Cycle 4 Biographies and Cycle 4 Picture Books By Week.
