Review Detail

5.0 2 0.5
This program is possibly the best thing that ever happened to our homeschool. History was something that never stuck for me--dates, people, events...I enjoyed learning about them but couldn't retain the information. So teaching my own kids was intimidating. On top of that, they LOVE history. And, having 3 kids at different levels makes it hard to do a lot of one on one teaching. Enter Veritas Press Self Paced History. All 3 of my kids, with 3 very different learning styles, not only learned, retained, and could apply what they learned, but they loved these courses (we have done them all). I sometimes would make history the treat of the day, because they would work hard to be able to get to do history. My son, who is 11, loved these so much he finished a whole year in only 6 months, and begged to repeat his favorite one--New Testament, Greece and Rome. I cannot express how delightful, fun, and enriching these courses are.

**Around April of every year these go on sale for about $100 for the Self-Paced course. You also need the cards (not optional in my opinion), and I HIGHLY recommend at least some of the suggested reading books.
