Under the Microscope

Love this product so much ! It’s exactly what the name says… Honest History ! It is written in an engaging authentic format that is so appealing to kids! And the history is accurate and reflects the use of primary sources!

I love the kid friendly way this is set up and that its geared for kids. The wording is great even for special education students in high school. It keeps the unit manageable for them and includes activities that are doable even if the students need support to do them. Way better than a boring text book!

Our kids get so excited when new issues arrive. The magazine combines incredible design and illustrations with genuinely engaging content and thoughtful, high-quality curation. The history is broken down into bite-sized, digestible pieces and written in a tone that makes it easy for kids to understand without ever feeling watered down. What I love most is how much it sparks curiosity. Our kids are constantly calling us over to share a fun fact or excitedly saying, “Did you know…?” and then launching into some new piece of history they just learned. It’s wonderful to see them not only enjoying history, but actively wanting to learn more about it. Honest History has become something our family genuinely looks forward to receiving, and I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a fun, beautifully made, and educational way to get kids excited about history.
