Book of Centuries A Must Have?

Post by GriffinFam » Tue May 23, 2017 7:10 pm

Hi!
I'm trying to get my order together for my kids school using HOD for the first time, Lord willing. I was wondering if the Book of Centuries is a must have for high schoolers and if starting it for only the last year of highschool is worth the price of the whole book? I will have two high schoolers using the WH guide- a 10th grader and a 12th grader. Your thoughts?

I don't think I would get it for the 12th grader, but if you plan on the 10th grader doing the 2 AH guides then I would get it. It is nice to see how things from WH coincide with the American History things and makes a nice keepsake.

We will not use it for our upcoming year, and dd just went through the motions with it this year, so I feel it's optional. We've done it through the years already and dd already can visualize and understand the events as it relates to others in their proper order. If your child needs it to understand, yes, otherwise, no.
