The
Artners are a successful homeschooling family who use a Latin-centered
curriculum. They also have a special interest in U.S.
history and a superb knowledge of children's history books.
They have found a way to address American history in
an informal way, using good history books rather then textbooks.
The
Artners have read and researched, selected, and catalogued
the best of children's American history books, both in and
out of print. There is no chaff to sift through here.
When you read their descriptions of some of the great writers
of American history for children, you will be as excited as
we were. Here are some of the things you will learn
from reading their "how-to" manual.
-
How to use your textbook as the supplement and use real
books as the core of your history curriculum.
- How
to give your child a lifelong love of history and reading
by using books so exciting and memorable, they will read
them over and over. The lists are here.
- What
to look for in selecting history books for your children.
- What
is wrong with most children's history books.
- Which
not-to-be-missed history series for children has books written
by some of America's greatest writers.
- Who
are some of the great writers of children's American history
books.
- Which
is better: history or historical fiction.
- How
to find out-of-print books at bargain basement prices.
- How
to create a library of classic history books as a heritage
to pass down in your family.
- Poems
and songs that "capture" eras in American history.
Using their "quick fact sheet," you can prepare your children
for the historical period they will read about for the year,
and then your work is over. The Artner course is the only
U. S. history course you will need for grades 3-8! You
can use the money you will save to buy great history classics
for your library. You can use the time you will save
to read good books and learn history right along with your
children. And you can look forward to "book discussions"
at the dinner table about the great heroes and heroines, the
triumphs and tragedies of American history. Optimus
magister bonus liber: the best teacher is a good book. The
Artner course will show you how to let good books do the work
of teaching U. S. history for you.
