I use these CD’s as a supplement to our regular history plans. We listen to them when we are on long car rides. My daughter and I have really enjoyed them in the last 2 years. She is 14 now. My son wasn’t as big of a fan.
I found that Landmark history books about wars and generals and “manly” historic figures like Davy Crockett helped my son to get into history more.
Hope you find what works best for your son! 🙂
