Everything You Need to Ace U.S. History in One Big Fat Notebook, 2nd Edition: The Complete Middle School Study Guide

As an 8th grade social studies teacher, I love this! It's a quick check to make sure I'm including important info, its simple to read- (I am terrible at reading books), and my students love to flip through on down time. Great resource!

I home school my kids and I love this book series. I also bought the world history one. The chapters are short, the text is easily digestible and the little test your knowledge quizzes are perfect. Both of my kids have high functioning autism. Books like this that don't overwhelm them are few and far between. I will be working on purchasing the whole series! Love these!

Great value, especially onSale!!..fits into curricculum requirements/guideline. What I really like is that it almost reads like a graphic novel, and is quite colorful and illustrated! My student actually looks forward to his assignments in this book, and often comments that his work was 'very interesting'. I love that there are questions at the end of each section to test knowledge and retention. I dislike that the answer keys are often on the back of some of the question pages..you have to remove that page and observe the student working on the last few answers..that is, unless you trust they won't be looking for 'references' in the answer key.

So far, I absolutely love this book on unit one about prehistory and my 11-year-old and I have already mastered the meso American culture. I love that there are questions and answers at the end of each chapter and units are separated to keep everything organized.

Organized in the standard "periods" you'd find in a traditional textbook but this book presents the information in short, easy-to-digest bits of historical facts. This 'notebook" approach presents historical 'stuff' in a fun and manageable way. Best for someone who are not especially interested in plowing through a traditional text. Enjoy!

Just what I needed and was looking for. The way the information is presented is great for my uninterested student. It breaks up the info into doodle like pages and helps make reading the information more enjoyable.

History can sometimes feel like a lot of information at once, but this book presents it in a lighter way. When we first started using it, I was worried it might still feel like a textbook, but it comes across more like guided notes from a classmate. That made it easier for my child to stay engaged. There are little details and explanations that help connect events instead of just listing them. It doesn’t feel rushed, and we can pause and talk about things as we go. That has made history feel less like memorizing and more like understanding what happened.

Love this book for 7th grade U.S. History! It’s colorful, organized, and easy to follow, which makes a big difference for keeping my student interested. My 7th grader is actually intrigued by the way it’s laid out and doesn’t find it boring like a traditional textbook. It feels more like a fun study guide than a chore. Great resource for homeschooling or extra practice at home.

Great laid out reference book that is an easy read and packs a punch with the large volume of facts

Concise and to the point.

Excellent way to learn history. And their other books are also good.

Nos gusta, es resumido y con la versión americana de la historia sobre la época del descubrimiento… pero es lo que se ofrece
