The history of Greece for students ages 5-6...even for students who are preliterate, or who are just developing some limited literacy. 

Who were the ancient Greeks? What did they do? What did they create? These were the people who invented theater, western philosophy, democracy, and who built the greatest armies of their time.  The founders of what we call Western Civilization, this is a history that must be known and understood for even the youngest (or oldest) student to grasp what civilization is today.

A great hands-on experience. 29 lessons, a full 10 weeks of fun and learning for preliterate students. Alexander, Pericles, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, Aristophanes...who were these great men and what did they do? Your 5-6 year old, or preliterate student, can learn all about them starting today!
