J-rap Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 For my son-in-law actually. :) My kids LOVED Joy Hakim's History of US series when we used it back in the day. I'm looking for something similar but more of a condensed single volume. The reading level of History of US is just about right since English is his second language.

SoCal_Bear Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Do you know about the Concise History of US by Hakim (4 volumes) that is published by K12? You can easily get all 4 used for about $20. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillStanding Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 We are enjoying US by Hakim as well, we are reading the 10 volumes. I noticed you said it is for a recent immigrant to the U.S, is this for the civics portion of the citizenship test? There are lots of free material on the web.Example: http://americanhistory.si.edu/citizenship/ These are free just for an overview of American History: http://www.ushistory.org/us/index.asp http://www.digitalhistory.uh.edu/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll definitely be using it for the citizenship test eventually! In the meantime, he really enjoys learning more about U.S. history. Thanks for the links!
