My son is fascinated with American history right now. He loves the Rush Revere series. I can't believe how much factual information he retained from them! All of us enjoyed watching Liberty's Kids as well. I even leaned things from watching them and it was an easy way to get another one of my kiddos interested in history.
Nice! My son is now listening to most of the "I Survived" series on audio. There are so many great (and interesting) history resources out there!
So grateful not a lot has happened here for history 😆. A lot of the history comes with a lot of heartbreak. (Also in the Canadian prairies 😁)
History encyclopedia can be a good resource and also the Imagination Station series (historical fiction) by Focus on the Family is great too.
Thank you for sharing so many great books! History is one of my hardest subjects to teach as well. Textbooks are so dry. God bless ❤️
Dry is a perfect description!
Picture books have been my go to for history. I have tried a few things but I always come back to reading picture books based on a set timeline (for example we are doing Middle Ages/Renaissance so we read a "Joan of Arc" picture book and colored a picture of Joan of Arc. My oldest is 9 and still this works great!).
My oldest also loves the "Royal Diaries" & "Dear America" series. We have 1 "Dear Canada" book. These have become so great since she began reading independently.
I remember that Royal diaries Anastasia book!!!! So good! I was obsessed when the movie came out. I learned that my great-great-great-grandfather was actually a guard at the Russian palace during that time. Apparently he died during the uprising.
Woah, what a cool tie into history you have!!!!
Thank you so much! This is just what I needed. I’ve been struggling with finding a curriculum that will fit, but you sounds much like me and I love the method you have pursued. Excited to binge watch all your videos!
Are you into charlotte mason? You sound like you would really enjoy her theory of living books. It's basically reading books on any subject by people who loved this topic.
Yes, I often refer to our style as a relaxed Charlotte Mason method. I love her method, it's just a bit too structured for us.
Hi Chantel, thanks so much for these! I'm British and you've introduced me to some books I didn't know about! I hope you get to travel in the future and feel free to ask for recommendations for historical sites if you ever do get to the UK! Rhiannon X
Sam loved those Nathan Hale books! He read them all a bunch!! We use youtube videos to go along w/ our curriculum and lots of books but I find history so overwhelming if I don't have a spine. That said we skip parts and make it our own :-P
That sounds like a fun way to do it! What do you use as a spine?
@@IntentionalHomeschooling This year we are studying Government and civics to go along w/ the election. So we are using Notgrass Uncle Sam and you.. in the past we have used sonlight and they used usborne books as the spine. We have also used Story of the World and pulled books to go along w/ that.
In the UK we have a book series and TV programme call horrible history it cover all different times in history but I kid friendly way the book are more like graphic novels. This might help your family
Sweet, I'm going to check that out, thanks!
I can second these :) Horrible Histories is a fantastic series.
So do you enjoy the audio books over the books? I really want to invest in these Then and Now books.
Great ideas. Ive been wanting to try hazardous history and story of the world.
Not sure what was going on with audio today. I had no sound. Read captions the full video.
Hmm, weird, the audio is working for me!
@@IntentionalHomeschooling I just wanted to let you know it turned out that my app needed to be updated. It was strange as most videos played just fine, but one here and there were not playing sounds. Thanks for your great content!
@@chaosmanaged2925 ahh, makes sense!
I would like to see how you teach your kids to read without a curriculum. I'm struggling with teaching my oldest.
I was thinking of doing a teaching to read video soon, I'll prioritize it!
@@IntentionalHomeschooling Thanks! My son was getting so frustrated with the curriculum, I had to set it aside.
Which curriculum were you using?
The 100 easy lessons book. I don't know if it's popular in Canada, but it is in the States.
What age would you say the peril and peace series is for? Also I really love your videos 😁
Thanks for you sweet words! I would probably recommend starting with Peril and Peace around grade 4/5 or older.
@@IntentionalHomeschooling thank you. I figured it was too advanced for us right now but I'll keep it on my list (that's always growing) lol my oldest is in 1st right now.
