What ages are the Hakim History of US books meant for?

I see them as a UG resource for TOG and I was wondering if a 7 yo would understand much of what is being read?

They would probably be okay (not great but okay) for a read-aloud for a seven year old. However, we didn't use them until logic stage.

Have you looked at The American Revolution for Kids: 21 Activities? Here's a preview of the book, to give you an idea of the material.

I would say save them until UG. Sonlight even has them for junior high AND high school. When we read them, my 5th grader was fascinated while my 7 year old was asking, "Are we done yet?" most of the time. lol

There was a previous thread on an American History spine for LG level. I've got company coming any minute otherwise I would search it for you.....there were several good recommendations...wish I could remember the name of that thread...but try American History spine for starters...

They work for ages 6 to 45 in our house! My youngest was actually still 5 when we started these as part of Biblioplan. I read them aloud and skip most of the side bars. We enjoy them and have really learned a lot. My youngest is now 7 and I asked her if she is able to follow along and she says yes and that she likes them. I wouldn't choose them specifically for a 7 year old, but if the 7 yo is just tagging along with an older sib, they are fine. My 9 yo reads ahead for fun. They are probably a middle school level for reading alone I would guess. But even the adults in the house can enjoy reading them and learn a lot.

 

See if your library has them so you can check one out and see what you think. Some people are not crazy about her writing style and some people perceive a liberal bias. We're okay with both (but fewer sentence fragments would suit me just fine!)

Thank you all!
