5 out of 5 stars by GIZELLE A on 2009-03-30
I didn't want to do this core since we do not live in America. But what a splendid course, my favorite so far. Can't wait for the next day's reading myself!

5 out of 5 stars by WENDY C on 2008-07-02
My Son (9yrs)really enjoyed this program, his understanding about history is far greater then I thought possible. He is not crazy about The Story of USA 1&2 but it was quick enough of a read that he would do it, his favorite book in this core was The Lewis & Clark Expedition. He can hardly wait for school to start just to get back to U.S.history! Hope Core 4 is as much fun!

5 out of 5 stars by DANA P on 2008-05-30
Call me crazy but, we have two dyslexics doing litature based Curriculum and it was hard.Yet the outcome and blessings out wait the grief and hard work. I never read a whole book in college, out comes my secrets. Now my child has read and loves history so much through books that are worthy of her attention. We often talk about and reanact the historical characters because they are like family to us. I can't thank you enough for teaching old dogs new tricks I am now a former non reader teaching an avid reader, bless you all for your emendous insight on this level. Again thank you from the intermost part of my being.Praise the Lord....

5 out of 5 stars by LINDA H on 2008-05-16
This was our favorite core so far, great stories, really linking together history, time and events in a systematic way. Great Job, Sonlight!

5 out of 5 stars by KIM G. on 2007-12-03
I'm writing under my mom's name (I'm Kimberlee G.), but I just wanted to thank the wonderful people at Sonlight for creating this Core! I'm 13, and I shared this one last year with my 5 year old brother and my 9 year old sister. This year, I'm doing Core 4 alone, and I love that one as well! History has come alive for me like never before. One thing bothered my mom and I about the Instructor's Guides, though: it would be alot easier for us to use them (the IGs) if the study guides for the books were put in reading order instead of alphabetical order. It's not that bad, just something we wanted to point out for future reference.
