susankenny Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Feel free to link me to another thread, I just can't seem to find what I'm looking for with an advanced search. I want our history curriculum to be geared toward K-3 (for my 7 year old next year, who'll be in grade 2). It can be US History, World History - whatever. I don't want activities, worksheets, tests, writing assignments. Nada. He gets enough of that in other subjects. I don't want to go to the library to collect additional books. I'm just looking for something we can snuggle and read together. I am specifically looking for e-books in an very elementary story format. Christian is fine. Does this exist? Thanks!

stripe Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 You might also look at http://www.mainlesson.com/displaybooksbysubgenre.php as there're quite a few books there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazakaal Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Seconding the Baldwin Project suggested by Stripe. You can also look at Ambleside Online and Old Fashioned Education. The later is not organized by age or grade, but has lots of links for great history books online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stripe Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 You might also go to http://freehomeschoolinglibrar.blogspot.com/ They are organized into categories on the right hand side of the page. Here are the ones tagged with Elementary Social Studies/History . These are all Google books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susankenny Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 Thank you! I knew about these sites, but I was looking for books that others had used already & loved that may have fit my criteria, lol. I was being lazy I suppose. I found some books by Mara Pratt that I think fit the bill though. Thank you! Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazakaal Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Hmmm. So you want specific book recommendations? I love H.E. Marshall's books for that age. I've read Our Island Story and Kings and Things, which are both British history, maybe not what you're looking for. But you could check out her books of American history on Baldwin Project. Guerber's Story of... books are great too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
