Here's what Melissa in Idaho said about this curriculum:

My kids are 9, 8, and 7 and the lessons are just the right length for them. The kids are excited every day to discover which state we're going to read about, are counting down to the states that they know, and ask me to do their reading on the weekends. It's been such a blessing to our family!
