Product Description

From the Publisher: 

Sample

This open-and-go teacher’s guide makes it easy to use the best literature to teach the story of the United States. We have sifted through 150+ titles to choose the best books available so you and your students can dive into engaging stories accompanied by beautiful illustrations as you travel through time to meet Leif Erikson, Benjamin Banneker, Myles Standish, Harriet Tubman, Benjamin Franklin, Pocahontas, and dozens of others.

Students will learn about the people who shaped our nation’s heritage beginning with the Indigenous Peoples who first settled the American continents and ending at the conclusion of the Civil War. 

Learning history is most useful when it shows us what we can aspire to and what we ought to avoid or correct. When students complete this study, we hope that they will hold in honor those heroic individuals who sacrificed for the good of our country, that they will understand the basic foundations of civil and religious liberty unique to America’s founding, and that they will be able to celebrate the rich mosaic of people who contributed to the founding and development of this nation.

An invaluable resource, this teacher guide takes out all the guesswork so that you can enjoy hours of reading great books together, learning about the formation of our country, and having valuable discussions that will help you connect with your kids.
