 Practical Homeschooling Magazine Reader’s Choice First Place in History, 2008
This teacher's guide takes the guesswork out of a literature approach to American History for your primary grade students (K-3). Beginning in the year 1000 with the Vikings and continuing through the Civil War, parents will read aloud award-winning authors such as the D'Aulaires, Alice Dalgliesh, Jean Fritz, Walter Edmonds, Clyde Robert Bulla and others! Daily lesson plans incorporate biblical principles, geography, poetry, character studies and much more! Though designed as a one-year course, it can be stretched to two years, depending on your pace.
