You can use it as a springboard for older students, as is. I've used it for help with writing and studying skills--picking out important facts, writing a summary as well as imprinting an overall history timeline with my kids. It works with all types of learners as well with their variety of tasks to complete

Mystery of History, Volume III |

As a child, history was boring to me! But Linda Hobar has completely changed my opinion. She writes in a very personable style, and tells fascinating stories about the people and events of history. As you read, you almost feel like you are meeting these people of long ago - you learn not only of the facts of their lives, but of their emotions, too. And of the events that shaped their future.
Linda also speaks directly to the reader. She makes you feel that she is sitting in the room with you, telling stories.
In addition, the organization of the text helps to break up the reading into manageable portions. The text is divided into 28 weeks, and each week is broken into 3 lessons. That means, out of a 36 week school year, we can miss a few weeks here and there and still finish the book.
I would highly recommend this text to anyone with students 4th grade or older. And if you read the text aloud to them, it could easily be used with younger children.

The Mystery of History series is the best history program we have used. Linda teaches history in from a Christian perspective. The chronological format she uses of teaching "His Story" is great for establishing a timeline in our childrens' minds. I love the classical nature of the lessons as well. As a family, we have thoroughly enjoyed this series. We are now on Volume 3!

The Mystery of History series has made teaching history in our homeschool very simple. The material including quizzes, exercises and semester tests is all in one book (NOTE: This is true in Volumes 1 and 2, Volume 3 is divided into two books, the Reader and the Activity). There are great activities for younger, middle and older students. I can pick which ones fit my child's needs and interests at the time. The bibliography includes films as well as books. This makes it easy for me to go to the library to find the movies mentioned. Christ is the focus of the text and many events in Christian history are covered but other cultures who did not have Christianity at the time are covered also. I would recommend all volumes of Mystery of History to all homeschool families.

We absolutely loved the Mystery of History Series. It is a wonderful way to put world history alongside biblical history and see how they fit together. The first book had more lesson weeks than we have weeks of school, but we liked the bit shorter lesson lengths in that book. Both books are great for teaching several grades together. It has age appropriate assignments for various levels. Our daughter graduated in May 2008, but I still bought Mystery of History III!! I, personally, want to read it :)
