ummtafari Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 It looks like a nice magazine. Sadly, our local library doesn't subscribe to it. My 9 yo ds loves history. I thought he might enjoy it. Any reviews? http://www.learningthroughhistory.com/magazine.php Debra in VA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astrid Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 We really like it, though since we're using SOTW, it never seems to fit in with what we're studying when it arrives in the mailbox. We ALL (dd, dh, myself, my mom) all read it cover-to-cover, but more in a free-reading sort of way, and less as a complement to our curriculum. We do pull out back issues if I remember them as we get to an corresponding chapter. It's a lovely magazine. Well worth the money, IMHO. astrid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddhabelly Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 It is quite advanced for a 9yo (especially the comprehension-type activities or "add ons" - whatever the heck they are called). But we enjoy it very much and are holding on to them for coordinating with SOTW in the future. The issue about the Byzantine Empire was particularly fascinating. Enjoy!

Karenciavo Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 We order them by the issue rather than subscribing. They are well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetbaby Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 That's great to know. We have been looking at those also. Thanks.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonshineLearner Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 We've subscribed for a couple of years. I purchased my timelines from them, too. I bought alot of timelines...and maps... Course, it took me over a year to get the timelines up...and I'm just getting up to hanging up the maps. They are nice....both the magazine and the timelines. I do think that alot of the info might be over a 9 year old....but you should be able to use a good amount. AND, these are magazines that you don't get rid of... If you are a Christian, the magazine WORLD puts out a kids product...and my kids like that. Carrie:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
