A Charlotte Mason Living History Guide for K-6 Students.

With Simple Studies: America, students cover narration, history, mapping, reading, patriotic songs and poetry, and art among other areas of schooling all while the instructor simply reads aloud from The Children's Book of America by William J. Bennett. Each lesson offers a one-chapter reading, a prompt for narration and corresponding coloring pages to print off for each student. Lessons also offer optional poetry/song memorization, picture books, U.S. maps, and expansion ideas and helpful links for further study for older students.

Included in this study:

– 24 Simple Lessons that correspond with each chapter.

– Picture + Chapter Booklists with over 200 Recommendations.

– Coloring pages for each lesson.

– Narration prompts with each lesson.

– Patriotic Song & Poetry Memorization prompts.

– Mapwork prompts for older students.

– Optional Activities.

– Dive Deeper Research and Video links for each lesson.

– Mother Culture Booklist.

– American Poetry Selections.

– Review Questions… and more.

Very minimal prep is needed and there are prompts and tips for the instructor for obtaining materials several weeks before they will be needed.

Teachers will need one additional item on hand to complete the lessons:

1) The Children’s Book of America by William J. Bennett (check your local library or Abebooks.com for used versions)

Older students are encouraged to keep a Personal History Notebook.

“When we share these stories with children, we teach them about the ideals we revere, the principles by which we want them to live. And thus, we welcome them to a common American culture.” – William J. Bennett
