It is a privilege to review this quality product and make this recommendation. I will DEFINITELY USE THIS SERIES FOR OUR HISTORY UNITS: EASE OF USE: 5 Stars QUALITY of STUDY COMPONENTS: 5 Stars AFFORDABILITY: 5 Stars **our greatest expense will be the student guides printing. Our cost savings is being able to use this product for all my kids at the same time. GREAT for families with kids ages 5 - 13.

The DVD show. My kids ages 4 1/2 to 13 were fully engaged. They were able to tell me the story line including the bible lesson in the episode. My four and a half year old understood the story of Daniel and the Lions den which reinforced a Sunday School lesson from a previous week.

- Each Unit Study covers 2 to 4 weeks of learning, depending upon the age of the student and the particular homeschooling method or scheduling of the family.
