Teaching Multiple Children at Once?
Gather and create an atmosphere of learning with Visual Latin, Word Up!, and American History. Watch a lesson together then take turns reading aloud the assignment. Parents can use the questions and answers for discussion. Check out our How to Teach resources at bit.ly/htt-classroom
Dave Raymond’s History Series can be taught in any order. American History (ages 12+) was designed as an accessible way to begin moral philosophy. Modernity (13+) expands this study to the world stage. Antiquity and Christendom (14+) start back at Creation and use Scripture to frame all of history so that students can see God’s whole story.
