How Do I Choose a Homeschool History Curriculum?
The best homeschool history curriculum balances academic depth with family connection. Some parents prefer a chronological history curriculum, while others focus on specific regions such as American history, world history, European history, or ancient civilizations.
In the Charlotte Mason method, students begin with what is close—such as American history—and gradually move outward to study what is further, like world history. This natural progression helps children build confidence and understanding before tackling broader global perspectives. Literature-based history offers the additional benefit of teaching through living books—stories that capture imagination and encourage critical thinking—rather than rote memorization. At Beautiful Feet Books, we provide flexible history studies that can be used for one child or adapted for the whole family.
Types of Homeschool History Curriculum
There are many approaches to teaching history at home. A traditional history curriculum often relies on textbooks and worksheets. Literature-based history studies focus on reading high-quality, timeless books and pairing them with discussion and hands-on experiences—such as cooking historical recipes, keeping journals, or recreating artifacts—to make history engaging. Whether you’re looking for a complete one-year history curriculum or supplemental history resources, Beautiful Feet Books offers options for every homeschool family.
Choosing Books for Homeschool History
Books are the foundation of a literature-based homeschool history program. The best homeschool history books go beyond entertainment—they transport students into another time and help them see the world through diverse perspectives. At Beautiful Feet Books, we carefully curate award-winning children’s books and classic literature to ensure that every title is meaningful, accurate, and worth your family’s time. From picture books for younger learners to rich novels for older students, our book lists are designed to nurture a lifelong love of history and learning.
