Over my many years of homeschooling, Timberdoodle has become one of my favorite catalogues, mainly because they have lead me to so many unique, quality materials. But the one that stands out to me as the best of all is this Young Historian’s Introduction to World View. In my over 20 years of homeschooling this is the first curriculum that I have been inspired to recommend whole-heartily. It is a clear presentation of ideas, simple enough for middle school students to grasp with ease, but not ‘simple’ in its content. I learned much doing this with my 12 year-old son, and I have studied world view on an adult level. This curriculum would work well as a first introduction at the middle school level, but it would also be a great start to a world view course on the high school leve. The hands on projects are not just a ‘add-on craft,’ but an important part of making the topics clear. The stories are engaging and helpful in explaining the concepts clearly. All in all, I found this to be a vary valuable addition to our homeschool. I recommend it to anyone interested in adding a world view class into their curriculum at any middle school or high school age. I also recommend the history curriculum produced by the same author, An Overview of Western Civilization, as continuing the great work started in A Young Historians Introduction to World View.

I am the mother of four boys and have been homeschooling since 1989. I only have one left at home at this time, my other three having already been launched into the world and doing well.
