Literature-Based American History Curriculum for Kindergarten

This literature-based American history curriculum from Sonlight covers a full year of history, Bible, and literature for kindergarten or first grade.

My 6-year-old daughter genuinely LOVES history, and I don’t want to dampen her enthusiasm with dry textbooks or boring busywork.

But finding an engaging, literature-based American history curriculum for younger learners is surprisingly difficult.

So when I saw this brand new American history program from Sonlight, I couldn’t wait to try it!

Literature-Based American History Curriculum for Kindergarten

Exploring American History: History/Bible/Literature K is a brand new American history curriculum from Sonlight. Designed especially for kindergarten and first grade, this literature-based curriculum covers a full year of history, Bible, and literature.

Over the years, I’ve spent many hours poring over Sonlight catalogs. The wonderful books captivated me; they were exactly what I’d always dreamed of using with my kids.

Now that I’ve actually used the kindergarten history spine with my daughter, I have completely fallen in love with Sonlight’s literature-based learning materials.

Sonlight Kindergarten History Spine

The history spine for the Sonlight kindergarten curriculum is a beautiful 2-volume set entitled Heroes and Happenings.

These books far surpass a regular history textbook. They are engaging and colorful, with high-quality illustrations that help bring history to life for young learners.

The content is well-written and easily understandable, even for ages 5 and 6. The books actually read more like a good story book than a history book—and that’s exactly the way that I want to teach Kiera about American history.

Sonlight’s kindergarten spine has a total of 60 chapters, each introducing a new historic person or event. Students will learn about famous people in American history, such as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Thomas Edison.

They’ll also learn about lesser-known Americans like Dave the Potter. (Haven’t hear of him before? No worries. You can enjoy learning along with your 5 or 6-year-old!)

What’s Included in Sonlight History/Bible/Literature K

We received the 2-volume history spine, Heroes and Happenings. But there is so much more in Sonlight History/Bible/Literature K!

• Instructor’s Guide – lesson plans and teaching tips for the entire year so you don’t have to spend time preparing or researching
• History books – 7-10* high-quality living books that complement and expand on the topics covered in the history spine
• Read-aloud books – 17-21* excellent books on a variety of interesting topics to read aloud to your child
• Kindergarten readers – a set of books designed specifically to build phonetic skills in beginning readers
• Bible materials – a devotional-style Bible storybook and a Bible memory CD

*The number of books included depends on whether you choose the 4-day program or the 5-day program.

The best part? Everything you need is included. No more stressing over lessons plans, searching for materials, or waiting for library books—all the hard work is done for you!

All that’s left to do is enjoy real, meaningful learning with your child while making memories that will last a lifetime.

And it truly doesn’t get any better than that.
