First timeline is designed to introduce your young
child (kindergarten through 2nd grade) -- and anyone else -- to the
history and geography of the world in terms of 36 biographies (or
so). It consists of a mural 4.5" by 81" to be colored and either fan
folded as a booklet or displayed as a mural, accompanied by a
spiral-bound book describing the lives of the chosen characters
within a single narrative of human history, and large-format
timeline cards. The mural and timeline cards include black and
white line drawings perfect for coloring and decorating.
The book contains a read-aloud introduction to the concept of
history along with 40 short stories from history, each illustrated
on the timeline. An added bonus at the back of the book is a
poem which reviews the program, 2 verses for each person from the
timeline written in simple rhyme for easy memorization.
This little gem can be used over 40 days or 40 weeks. My
recommendation would be to add some good read-aloud stories to go
with each entry in the timeline. RC History has put together a
reading list to accompany the timeline which you can
download
here.
