It was a nice change from the standard "school" history. It focuses on learning about history...mistakes, accomplishments...and learning from those also. It's not about memorizing, but about understanding. That's what I look for when selecting homeschool curriculum. Some provided links do not work but I don't think we were missing out on a lot by not being able to access them. They still should be updated though.

This guide and the books that accompany the study make studying history engaging and very doable, too. It is perfect for jr. high level, but could easily be adapted for younger, and even slightly older students. Recommend!

I used this with my 9th grade son. This was our first time using a BF guide. We really enjoyed it! He moved kind of slowly when he read on his own, but when I read to him, he seemed to comprehend it better. This was really his first exposure to these types of books, so I think that was to be expected. He really enjoyed learning History this way. The guide includes lots of movie and extra literature tie-ins, but we didn't have time for any of those.

My 8th grader completed this course a few weeks ago. She reallyl enjoyed the study and found it to be just the right amount of work. She was able to do most of the work independently which we both really liked. She is looking forward to starting high school in the fall with Beautiful Feet.
