We started using this a few weeks ago. I think it's a great supplement to Classical Conversations. Some of the entries are a little above what my 1st grader can comprehend but overall I highly recommend it!
We really love Story of the World! We have found it very easy to use and it really holds the interest of my child.
I enjoy it, but to make it fun you have to get the activity book, which does up the cost.
