Reddit mentions of The Human Odyssey, Vol. 1: Prehistory Through the Middle Ages

The first two volumes of this series are for middle school:

I own the first two but have not used them yet. They LOOK good to me when I flip through them. Planning to use vol 2 this coming year - son will be 6th grade. It seems to be pretty well thought of in various homeschool groups. You can get a student book and teacher guide, but it was a little hard to find. I found a used set on thriftbooks.com. Seems to be online classes based around the books at k12.com. But that site is so confusing I couldn't figure out how the classes work. Think you might have to "enroll" in an online school.

I generally love Pandia Press's science. But I have seen multiple times in various facebook groups that their history is a lot of writing and busywork and my son has dysgraphia so I opted to kind of make my own modern history plan for next year. We're trying to get synced up with Build Your Library for 7th grade - discovered BYL a month ago and really like it.

​

Anyway, please note that both of my recommendations for and against things are mostly based on second hand opinions at this point until I actually start the Human Odyssey book in the fall.

EDIT: Pandia Press History Odyssey is on sale right now though, so maybe I will take a look at that too!
