My Story 1 Review (Look Inside the New Master Books Social Studies Homeschool Curriculum)

[@brookewray59]

You are fantastic at doing reviews. I love that you explain it clearly without saying um every other word and being wordy about unimportant stuff. You get right into it and always give the exact info I was wanting.

[@cpj80]

Thank you so much for such a thorough and articulate review! I was scouring the internet for an informative and interesting curriculum and luckily landed on your page. Will try these with my 4.5 and 6.5 year old this summer/autumn.

[@JadyA]

I love this book and its many components!! thanks for sharing it. I like how you can use it for multiple grades although it does state its designed for grades 1-2. For grades 3 and higher Master books has America's Story history program that they recommend. Did your 5th grader find this to be too easy?

[@joshuaa8248]

Love you Jady!!!!🥰🥰

[@CD12VIDEOS]

You and Rebecca are my favorite homeschoolers online!

[@1loveisraelites848]

Jady A. Hi jady love your videos too 🤗 I found courage to start this journey thanks to your videos ❤️

[@EnglishwithGabby]

I've been looking for so many months to find a SS/geography curriculum and now I found it! Thank you! This is awesome.

[@Marie_Elaine]

I'm seriously considering ditching all.of my planned curriculum and going solely with Masterbooks for the upcoming year. We're already finishing up MLLE Level 1 so it would be so easy to do level 2 for math and add in the language and social studies! Thx for sharing, so helpful!

[@remoorekable]

Crazy Busy Fit Mom that’s what I ended up deciding to do. I have loved the open and go. It’s so easy. We all sit at the table with a snack and something to drink and we work through our books and no one is upset to do anything. It’s so stress free!

[@HomeschoolOn]

Glad it helped!

[@SimplyLivingIt]

Looking into this for the coming year! I can't wait!

[@marcyandscott]

Marie Shaurette did you end up doing that and how did it go?

[@laureng6396]

Just ordered two of these! One for my 3rd grader, and one for my 5th grader. We're going to work through these together. I am loving Master Books! I discovered them last year through you and we are now using their math curriculum as well! It's great.

[@ashleityler7126]

I am forever thankful that I found this video. My son starts 1st grade this year and I was having such a hard time finding a social studies curriculum. This sounds so interesting and unique.

[@thehouseofroth6552]

I purchased this for my 2nd grader & then my 5th & 6th graders (all 3 girls) saw it & wanted them too so I just ordered them for them as well for morning basket time. Thank you for showing these in great detail so I don’t feel like I am going into it so blindly. I also got their math & language arts for my 2nd grader from you reviewing those as well. We’re all super excited!

[@kacyandlaura]

Thank you!!! Another amazing and simple resource from Masterbooks! I can’t wait to order it for my 1st and 3rd grade boys! Looks like the social studies curriculum of my dreams.

[@juliebahr3736]

I just purchased this for my first grader last night! Can't wait to start. We used MB for Math last year and loved it so we are trying more MB this year.

[@remoorekable]

Julie Bahr we’re doing the same!

[@anitah.7906]

Could you please review "Mystery of History??" I'm in between "My Story & the World Around Me" & "Mystery of History" published by Bright Ideas Press. It is also very Biblically based. A series of living books in chronological order from Creation thru Ressurection (vol 1). Also for entire family. Would love to know how you think they compare! Love how comprehensive your reviews are!!

[@alexandriaperez881]

I bought this for my second grader. This is our first year homeschooling and I’m both nervous and excited to get started! This seems to be such a well rounded book and love how it’s so personal and speaks to the child.

[@HomeschoolOn]

Awesome!

[@theLogstead]

I looked at these samples and wasn’t sure, but now I know I’d like to try it. Thank you for this inside look. You’re right, it’s like convention browsing ❤️ thank you.

[@cfroman7047]

What a joy to have you sharing about My Story 1! Grateful that it has been a blessing for you and your precious family. Obrigado! Merci! Danke! Takk! Thank you! :)

[@bwhite9731]

Thank you for sharing this review!! I can't wait to order this for my boys!!

[@erinowens]

I want this curriculum so bad! Unfortunately, there is no way we could fit it in this year. I’m thinking morning time for next year though!

[@mrsloveandsushi]

This was amazingly thorough, and I appreciate the review and flip-through!

[@tarapaasche3270]

Already using this! So excited for My Story 2! Rebecca when will you do a review on My Story 2 (and Language Lessons for a Living Education 3)?

[@JBprodcokkin]

I just ordered from them! I cant wait to get it all here. Thanks for the review

[@NuferClanFam]

Did your discount code expire? I'm hoping to try out Master books this year, but the site keeps telling me that I have an invalid code.

[@mountainmamadama]

Was looking for this too! Same thing happened to me when I tried to use it! Was hoping there was a new one! 🤞🏼

[@Lipstickncurlsfitness]

Can Canadian use this story or is it heavily focus on the states?

[@Gracious189]

Code doesn’t work anymore. 😭

[@snone2902]

I was just looking at this! Your reviews are always awesome!

[@ldv02]

Thanks for this review, I’m looking into this. Do you happen to have a review about More than words with flip through?

[@SheIsTristine]

I really want this for the upcoming school year.

[@HomeschoolOn]

It is honestly AMAZING!

[@SheIsTristine]

Homeschool On I'm seeing so much I want. I've never used Master Books before. I need to get super organized this year. I feel like we've fallen so far behind. 😢

[@giax2031]

Are Master Books more independent or do they require a lot of hands on for parents? Is it a good curriculum for parents that need to work from home?

[@theglowgetterfacialist]

Is this CA acceptable?

[@tarah7050]

This looks great! Thanks, for showing us the inside of the book. Great review!

[@pinkorganichorse]

It said coupon code not valid

[@TheKlynn12]

Could this be used for kindergarten?

[@thegreatestislove8604]

I wish this was out when I first started homeschooling! This is wonderful

[@LS-fo8cz]

Thank you for your detailed review! Looking forward to more sharing like this.

[@1loveisraelites848]

I love your videos and we became a master books home here I’m Canada! I ordered books already for kindergarten and preschoolers but it’s been two weeks and I’m still waiting. As a fellow Canadian how long do they usually take to arrive. Also I wanted to know is My Story 1 suitable for Canadian homeschoolers 🤞🏽. Thank you

[@Rkh881]

Quick question: did you just use 3x5 index cards for their spelling/vocab/reading cards? I couldn’t tell if you purchased index cards or the curriculum provided cards. Thanks!

[@aletteanne1]

Do you know if Masterbooks creates suggested packages per grade level? I’m a missionary Mom living abroad who simply wants someone to do the thinking for me, especially since I just need to do one shipment a year and be done. I don’t have the luxury to try different things out.

[@MC-kt6mt]

Hi Bekka thank you so much for your review! I hesitated between the good and the beauty or to continue with master books. Though your review about language arts helped me to answer my doubts. I do have this book an it’s amazing. I would like to ask you which kids bibles do you recommend; We are a trilingual family if you know any bilingual bibles I would really appreciate your help. ( our main languages are Spanish and French and second language English). Thanks, and God keeps blessing you and your beautiful family.

[@juliacarvalho3397]

Thanks for another great review, Rebecca! A question: I have an upcoming 1st and 5th grader and we'll be using TGTB history. Do you think this curriculum could be used in a morning basket, something to be read from and have discussions but not used as our main SS curriculum? I would probably skip the activities in that case. What do you think?

[@apryjoy]

If you were using this for two kiddos, would you purchase two textbooks or would they be okay to share?

[@rebekahschmitz1208]

Do you recommend getting a separate copy for each child?

[@martinsmuskokafarm9268]

This is great! I have spent a lot of money to get a TG&TB here to Ontario. I don't want to just toss it. I know you don't use it anymore but how do you feel if I add this along side?? Tia

[@robinriggs4194]

Do you feel like there is enough geography?

[@MayaraFerreira-vx5kc]

It look soo good. Is there any read book recommendation? We live in Thailand and I have to order everything together.

[@SaltySirenFloriduh]

I wish they would come out with a different Social Studies curriculum for the younger grades. This one just doesn’t capture my 1st graders attention at all. He does well in every other subject, and he especially loves MTW and Math.

[@veroniquelegault1591]

I just found your channel this week and I've watched a bunch of your videos (LOVE them). I've been looking to change our curriculum and Masterbooks looks like a perfect fit. We're in Qc, but in the process of selling to roadschool for the next year across North America. I love that it's just 1 book. Big space saver for an RV 😉 Where do you get the downloadable pdf versions of this and the math programs? I'm also in Canada and have 4 kids (6, 4, 2, 9m), so I think this would be more economical, but I can only find the hard copies on the Masterbooks website.

[@shellygradin8635]

Are you a paid sponsor?

[@anyamcfarland4346]

A question to everyone who has used this curriculum: I have an almost 3 year old, a 4 year old and a 5 year old. Could this be used for them together? Sounds like a very enjoyable curriculum, more of a discovery adventure than a textbook. Thank you. Your videos are very helpful.

[@remnantlove1716]

This looks amazing however my children and I live in the uk

[@AmandaDeWald]

Thank you this was very helpful!

[@faithfulservant200]

Will you do a review on world's story as well? I really would like to view your review on it before making a decision btn the two. I have 3rd and 4th grade boys who want to do world's story but am not sure if I should start them on my story first. You sound like a news reporter hehe a very good one !

[@remoorekable]

Kim Samuel if you are in America Kim, you could look at America’s Story for your third and fourth graders. That’s what I’m doing with my fourth grader. It is so hard to choose from them because everything is so great! I also want to do the Fight for Freedom. There’s only so much time though!

[@michellechannell1219]

Hello. I have a question about Masterbooks. Will they help someone choose curriculum?

[@nogritnopearl4304]

Michelle Channell the FB group 'moms of master books' is super helpful. Many experienced and knowledgeable people in there can help you choose. I made a post asking for recommendations for my son for 1st grade and got the exact answers I needed. Super helpful.

[@rhondal8887]

My son doesn't like to color either. He's almost 8 and it still hasn't changed. Lol.

[@joshuaa8248]

I like this

[@aewharekuko8]

Hello, first let me start by saying I love your review videos, but I am disheartened that My Story didn't include Africa in there content page as it is the second largest continent in the world. There is a large African and African American homeschool community that are Christians but if we don't find our selves in books why would we consider buying it. I know this have nothing to do with you as you are just the presenter but it will help if you can tell me if any of the pages discover Africa for my children and all of God's precious little children of color. I like masterbooks because of you Rebecca presenting amazing review videos and I was considering using them but My Story didn't give me a good picture of the company if they left out Africa. Thanks for listening and I hope you respond.

[@WellDone25]

Angela Ewharekuko I checked on the Masterbooks website and in the My story 1 TOC it shows Africa in Quest 2. Africa is also included in My Story 2. www.masterbooks.com/my-story-1 www.masterbooks.com/my-story-2

[@HomeschoolHoney]

Thanks for the great suggestion!
