w here...question re: Child's History of the World

[debonli]

I've been looking through an old edition of the book because I am considering using Preparing Hearts for His Glory next year. No book is perfect, and I understand that some things have been edited out of the newer version, but I want to know if the child is going to be reading straight through this book or will certain chapters be used? Some of the info at the start of the book concerns me.

Thanks,
Debbie

Here is some info Carrie discusses about the book: http://www.heartofdakota.com/preparing- ... hild-world

Ch 1-3 are omitted from the reading schedule.

As stated you don't read the first 3 chapters. Also it isn't read independently by the child. You will be reading to them. With this in mind Carrie gives you a warning about anything that might be graphic or violent and therefore you can omit it when reading if you want. My ds loves CHOW. It has really given him a good overall view of history and is presented in a way he can understand.

thanks for the info...I had not seen the link with the explanation of the book. HOD just sounds better and better all the time.

Happy homeschooling!
