Early American 4-6 Teacher Guide (Download)

This is a brand new teacher guide for Early American History Intermediate! We've added several new sections: Rabbit Trails, Crafts and Projects, Online Resources, Character Connection, and The Historic Table. We've included historical background information for each section, some historic poetry study, and expanded the accompanying timeline. We want all the richness of history to be at your fingertips! 

This study contains 129 lessons and is a one year study appropriate for 4th through 6th grade. The heart of this study is reading aloud great literature with your students. Exploring the world through story is often one of the most cherished experiences shared by homeschooling families. The guide is inspired by the Charlotte Mason method of education: reading, reasoning, relating, and recording.

About the Authors:

Rea Berg homeschooled her six children and it was her determination to teach history using quality literature rather than standard textbooks that inspired her to research what was available to accomplish that purpose. This resulted in the Beautiful Feet Books History Through Literature series which was designed to acquaint the reader with the best children's literature available on the subject. Rea holds a Master's Degree in Children's Literature from the Center for the Study of Children's Literature at Simmons College in Boston.

Rebecca Manor, a homeschool graduate, loves story and art and remains in awe of their power to inspire a love of the good, the true, and the beautiful. She brings her studies of literature and theology, the many places she's called home, and a heart for homeschooling parents to the many teacher guides she has written for Beautiful Feet Books and strives to make teaching history, music, science, character, and literature accessible and joy-filled. Rebecca lives with her husband and their two sons in Fort Lauderdale where she is an adjunct professor at Knox Theological Seminary in their Christian and Classical Studies program, of which she is an alumna.
