We’ve been using Story of the World in our homeschool for going on 7 years now — we love it! This year, I’m preparing to start the cycle all over again in Ancient History with my younger children (kindergarten & fourth grade) so I made these Story of the World Volume 1 Notebooking Pages to keep our notebooks fun and tidy.
One of the things I love about the Story of the World history curriculum is that it is adaptable and can be used with multiple ages. We use these notebooking pages to record narrations after reading the text; my older students write their own and I act as scribe and record the narrations of my younger students.

Each Story of the World Volume 1 Noteboking Page Includes:
- Chapter and subchapter headings
- Lined space for written narrations
- A photo or graphic to coordinate with the chapter
- A blank box for the child to illustrate their own page

I’m just starting and just starting homeschooling… wish me luck. This program looks amazing. I’m a bit lost on how to tackle this. I do like the extra reading and activities. Does it make sense to do 1 lesson/day or 1 lesson/week?
There are probably as many ways to implement SOTW as there are families who use it. We always did about one chapter a week, using two days. Most chapters have two sections or subchapter, so this worked well for us. There are, however, more chapters in SOTW than there are weeks in a typical school year. This was never a problem for us because we school year-round and I also don’t mind if we carry on with one volume into the next school year. Your preferences may not be the same. We do the extra reading selections as either read alouds or free reads, and activities only when we feel like it. We always do the map work though.
