Description
A Child's Story of America reads more like an old-fashioned storybook about the past than like formal history lectures, giving the sense that the author is conversing directly with the reader on a personal level. It covers topics from Columbus to the Clinton Administration. This second edition features many more illustrations and maps, and is now printed in a two-color format that was not in the first edition. Sidebars add extra biographical sketches or vignettes that enhance topic coverage. This edition has a strong conservative, patriotic, and Protestant flavor. Chapter review questions are in the book. A separate test booklet and answer key are available. ~Amber

Category Description for Veritas Press Elementary History (Grades 2-6)
Veritas Elementary History offers five different time periods, with each aimed at a different grade level beginning in grade 2 and designed to take one school year. There are a few components to this series that are offered in a kit or sold separately. The Teacher Manual is split into 32 weekly lessons. Each lesson has a worksheet, a project or two, and a test. The color-coded History Cards are an essential element of the program and contain many interesting facts from the various time periods. If the cards also relate to Bible history, they have another color and another number. Songs on the Audio CD are nicely done and designed as a type of auditory timeline.
