So helpful. We did a bit of this last year and the year prior. We are 2nd and 4th now and are ready to dive right in. Watching your review on this refreshed my memory. Thanks! I agree on the printing two student books. I had the same thought, “ I’ll just make copies.” Didn’t work for us either. I’ve got a freshly printed copy ready to be bound.♥️
Good question. I haven’t tried History Quest or Build your Library. I’ve considered it, but Build your Library used Story of the World when I looked at it. I considered trying History Quest this coming year, but I don’t want to overdo our stack of curricula.
Another question: I just watched your top 3 favorites and least favorite video. At what stage does my daughter need to be reading to start Lightning Literature grade 1? Thanks!
@@melissamoore280 she does not need to be reading at all, the younger grades are set up so the early readers can do it OR they can do it while being read to.
While the books are presented in chronological order, I don’t believe it’s necessary to complete them in a designated order. I don’t know if the next levels do an introduction to the characters, but I don’t think that’s essential.
100% It actually comes with full audio. We didn’t use the actual book that much as we listened to the audio book while completing the work pages. For a kid learning to read or an early reader it is a great opportunity to follow along while listening to the audio
I cannot say how it compares to SOTW because we never completed SOTW. I found CC to be quite thorough for the time period, but there’s always more to learn, no matter what curriculum you use.
@@HomeschoolHappyHour thanks for the quick response. If you still have SOTW, would you be able to check the table of contents for me and compare it to the one in Curiosity Chronicles to see if they cover the same material, please? I'm sure other viewers would appreciate it as well, given that SOTW is the big kid on the block and we're all trying to make decisions on which to buy. 🙏. I'm looking for a swift curriculum (without the fluff) that is very thorough.
This is SUCH an insightful and helpful review video. Thank you!
Wonderful, thorough review! Thank you!

I hope you love it this year too. Printing 2 copies I’d definitely the way to go 😉
I appreciated the thorough review. It really gave me an idea of what this curriculum entails!
Fantastic!
I love this review video.! It really helped me know more about it.! Thank you.!!.
I’m so glad it was helpful! Thank you for your feedback
It was a very helpful review. Thankyou very much.
Very helpful! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for this review! We are starting here in couple weeks!
Such a thorough walkthrough, thank you!
Would you recommend this, History Quest, or Build Your Library for K/1st grade?

Thank you for this! I was overwhelmed when I first got it but this helped!
Good to hear. I hope you enjoy it ❤️
Can I start in any time period? Or do we need to start with ancient?

Good review
Thank you!
Thanks for your review. Would this work with a child who cannot read?
100% It actually comes with full audio. We didn’t use the actual book that much as we listened to the audio book while completing the work pages. For a kid learning to read or an early reader it is a great opportunity to follow along while listening to the audio
Did you buy the timeline separately?
I believe you can get it separately, but I purchased the “pack” which included the audio, the hardback book and all related digital materials
@@HomeschoolHappyHour Okay because we started with early modern and it wasn’t included and I was so worried we did it wrong. Haha
Thank you for this!! ❤️❤️❤️
My pleasure 😁
Does Curiosity Chronicles cover the same amount of time periods and events as Story of the World? Any historical periods or topics missing from CC?
I cannot say how it compares to SOTW because we never completed SOTW. I found CC to be quite thorough for the time period, but there’s always more to learn, no matter what curriculum you use.

I don’t have SOTW anymore. It is not a secular curriculum, so we don’t use it. Sorry I couldn’t help more
@@HomeschoolHappyHour oh, I thought it was secular! Sorry about that. Thanks for trying to help 🙂
I had the very same question! From what I hear they are very similar but I’m trying to see which one is more encompassing and diverse.
Ballala Deva😅😅😅
It is nearly impossible with 6 people. Hahahaha
It’s so true 🙄😉
