America's Story FAQ
A. Each volume has the same reading level and difficulty, so you can start anywhere. But to experience the entire three-year course, we suggest starting at Volume 1 and working sequentially.
A. While the student guide can easily be shared, the Teacher Guide contains all of the consumable worksheets. So that each child has their own set of worksheets, make copies (permission is granted with your purchase) or purchase an additional copy of the TG.
A. Yes. While America’s Story is designed for upper elementary students in grades 3-6, it’s flexible enough to be used with younger or older students. Younger students may require additional teacher involvement while older students may benefit from the Digging Deeper enrichment activities that are included in the Teacher Guide.
