Book Description

September 17, 2007 6 and up1 and upStory of the World (Book 2)

History has been taught in a boring way for far too long.

A subject as moving and powerful as humanity's past should be inviting, and when it is told well, it is. Susan Wise Bauer succeeds in telling the captivating story of history with her best-selling history series. Parents and young readers have fallen in love with her narrative history, The Story of the World, and its accompanying Activity Book. Now teachers and home educators can take advantage of a new and valuable learning tool: the Tests and Answer Key package.

Included are 42 tests: one for each chapter of The Story of the World. Perfect for evaluating comprehension and retention. The narrative format of The Story of the World helps children remember the famous people, places, and events in history. These tests offer you an easy way to make sure that your child is absorbing the important events from world history. A combination of multiple choice, matching, fill-in-the-blank, and short writing samples allow you to evaluate your child's retention and comprehension of key events in The Story of the World. The Tests package contains an answer key for all tests.

These easy-to-use tests and answer keys, successfully used by hundreds of parents and teachers, provide an objective method for measuring retention of key facts, figures, and events from history. A combination of sequencing, matching, short-answer, and essay-style questions gives students a chance to show what they've learned. Used with The Story of the World Text Book and Activity Book (sold separately), the Test and Answer Key gives educators a complete history curriculum for their elementary school students.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Review for Story of the World Vol 2, December 29, 2008
By 
Natalie Cooper (Sacramento, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Story of the World: History for the Classical Child: The Middle Ages: Tests and Answer Key (Vol. 2) (Story of the World) (Paperback)
I read the first volume without purchasing the test questions. When I bought the second volume I saw the test book and bought it too. I'm glad I did.

Sometimes when I read a chapter, the boys might drift off a little. Asking the questions from this test workbook lets me know how well they were listening. We can go over the material again or reread a certain section if necessary. We make the test questions into a game and award 100 points for each correct answer. This lets the boys know they should listen because they will be asked some questions after the reading. I think it has really improved their comprehension.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Nice Addition to the Best World History Curriculum Available, September 3, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Story of the World: History for the Classical Child: The Middle Ages: Tests and Answer Key (Vol. 2) (Story of the World) (Paperback)
These tests are great. They help us better retain what we've learned of names of historic people and places. This curriculum makes history fun and interesting and memorable, especially if you use the accompanying workbooks as well. The whole family can learn world history as well as quite a bit of world geography. And the geography sticks in the brain longer than rote memorized geography because the world history stories help you connect meaning to the maps as well as these tests. They go along with the best World History curriculum available.

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting for adults too, June 19, 2010
By 
BD (New York, N.Y.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Story of the World: History for the Classical Child: The Middle Ages: Tests and Answer Key (Vol. 2) (Story of the World) (Paperback)
This series got my son interested in history and was informative for the adults too. We need more non-fiction that is accessible to children. I hope it will be the beginning of a genre.
