America First

Give your child the wonderful stories in this living history book for Elementary American History.Now completely revised and updated for modern homeschooling families! You can feel good about reading this book to your children! AMERICA FIRST by Lawton Evans has always been one of my favorite books to use in our homeschool for elementary American History. The author has such a wonderful narrative style that always keeps students engaged. It's a living history book that works perfectly for the Charlotte Mason method of homeschooling - where living stories nurture a child's love of learning.The Problem of Using the Original Text: America First was written in the early 1900s and originally included insensitive language and attitudes regarding Native Americans and people of color. But because it is such a wonderful living book, many homeschooling parents still wanted to use it and resorted to 'editing on the fly' as they read it aloud to thier children.The Solution in Updating the Text: The updated and revised edition replaces any insensitive and inappropriate terms and attitudes so that you can enjoy reading it to your children without having to edit as you read aloud. Or you can simply hand the book to an independent reader and feel good about what your child is reading.AMERICA FIRST: UPDATED EDITION includes the following changes:Insensitive language has been removedRewritten with inclusivity and dignity of all peoples in mindCorrected historical dates for use with timelinesNew illustrations for almost every chapterI hope you and your children enjoy the updated edition of AMERICA FIRST!For a complete listing of books and study guides, or for more information regarding the Charlotte Mason method of homeschooling, please see A Charlotte Mason Plenary website at CMPLENARY.COM.
