Story of the World The Modern Age Packs

 (Ages 9- 14 yrs -independent readers)

In these packs are everything you will need for a year of history study. As always, you can buy books individually, but if you buy a pack, you receive a 10% discount off every item. Books may change price over the year, and some go out of print. We record this on this web site. You will be charged 10% off the full web site advertised price when you order any pack. If a book has changed to paperback from hardback, or the other way around, we hope to substitute it because we know you need the full year’s books. You will be given a full quote before agreeing to the order. Packs include either Basic Packs or Literature Packs (both listed below). Details of individual books are in the modern history section of this web site

No substitutes will be accepted for books in any of the packs.  You must order the entire web site listed pack to receive the discount.  Any returns will void the discount on all the rest of the books in that pack.   I feel confident that most if not all of the books will please most families however.  They are books we have used ourselves with great excitement and attentiveness from our younger children doing this course.   If books are missing from these lists that you have seen on other lists, that is because we have liked our books better than those listed by others.

The Story of the World Curriculum of 4 volumes takes four years to complete a fairly detailed look (for children Gdes K - 8) at world history. Although it does not need to be followed chronologically, this course is actually designed with younger children in mind in the earlier years, and older children in the last 2 books. Children older than, say, 11 yrs, would find Ancient Times activities silly for them, so keep this in mind when choosing.

<Please note: Links to each book on these lists have not yet been created.  This will be done hopefully by August 2007.  In the meantime, just type the titles into the Google search on the home page.  Newer books may not yet be on the web site  Please bear with us as we get it up to date. >

Story of the World The Modern Age Basic Pack

Includes:
SOTW Book (The Modern Age)

SOTW Activity Book (The Modern Age)
Usborne Encyclopedia of History

History Portfolio (Modern Times)

Please note: This History Portfolio roughly covers the time period of both SOTW Early Modern Times AND SOTW The Modern Age.  The first half of the portfolio, approximately, covers material found in the SOTW 3 course.  So if you are beginning with SOTW The Modern Age (not having done SOTW Early Modern Times at all) you will start half way though the portfolio to do your year's work.
