The Light and the Glory For Children

The Light and the Glory For Children, written by Peter Marshall and David Manuel with Anna Wilson Fishel, focuses on American history between the years 1492 to 1789, on its forefathers, and their faith. This wonderful book makes it clear to the reader how God worked through the founders of America to establish the nation.

Often when reading history, we read from a point of view that leaves God out of the equation. When we were learning about explorers, we read lots of facts and accounts about who, what, when and how, but little of what motivated these people at the time. The truth is, is that during this time in history, the church and the people’s relationship with God

The Giant American History Timeline

You won't find any dry, boring history lessons with this program! Instead, American history comes alive as you create each Giant American History Timeline.

I have a confession to make… I always thought American history was boring. My only exposure to history was the average school textbook – and I think we can all agree that those aren’t exactly interesting and engaging! When it came time to teach history to my own child, I wanted her experience to be different. And, thanks to programs like The Giant American History

Interactive 3-D Maps: American History

If you want a simple way to add some hands-on fun and a little bit of geography too, Interactive 3-D Maps will be perfect for you.

History is one of our favorite homeschooling subjects. NOT the dry, boring textbooks I remember from my own educational days. But because of the books and programs we use history has come alive for both me and my daughter. One of my new favorite additions is Scholastic’s Interactive 3-D Maps: American History. Interactive History Fun Interactive 3-D Maps: American History covers 26 US historical events

Childhood of Famous Americans Series

Our idea of studying history is to grab a blanket (or a beach towel) and curl up with a good historical fiction biography and read! Childhood of famous American series are made up of historical biographies that begin with the early life and childhood of the famous person.

Childhood of Famous Americans Series We love reading Historical Fiction in our home. I recently shared some great books here at The Curriculum Choice to read aloud with your children in my last post about the World War II years. We tend to cycle through history mostly in order beginning with the Ancients and going through to Modern times, but my youngest has gotten a

The Story of the U.S.A. Books 1 & 2 by Franklin Escher, Jr.

Sometimes I am looking for a book that holds all my creativity and tendency to wander through the fields homeschooling together. Story of the U.S.A. Books 1 and 2 were just the framework I needed to keep our history program on track this year. We tend to take history exploration literally and wander by adding small unit studies and lots of historical fictions to read.
