edeemarie Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I'm looking into putting together a literature-based two-year American History for my kids. There are SO many books I want to include and I'm having a hard time narrowing them down! The first year will be either to or through the Civil War, and the second year will go up to the present. I have already chosen the spines I will use. I'm probably going to base our history, literature, and family read alouds all on American History. This will be for a 7th grade boy, a 5th grade girl, a 2nd grade boy, and a Kindergarten boy. So if you could suggest maybe 3-5 books for us to make sure we read, what would they be?

Freedom Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I'm making my way through planning Truthquests 2 year American history with living books. They have an abundant list of many topics....might be worth a look. I've just started reading some to screen the ones we'll use when we start so I don't have absolute favorites yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MolleenCarie Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 If you don't have it, I would highly suggest purchasing All Through the Ages by Christine Miller. It is the booklist to end all booklists. You can flip to the desired time period and find titles for your various children's ages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edeemarie Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 Thank you all! If you don't have it, I would highly suggest purchasing All Through the Ages by Christine Miller. It is the booklist to end all booklists. You can flip to the desired time period and find titles for your various children's ages.I do have this book and I love it! Maybe I just need to start a list of books I would like to read from each time period and narrow it down from there. :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
