History Review - Turning Back the Pages of TimeThis History review is about a book that is a great history resource for homeschooling. I have used this book over and over again both when planning a school year and during a school year for ideas. The official title is "Turning Back the Pages of Time - A Guide to American History Through Literature" by Kathy Keller. It's just a small booklet that doesn't look like it would be very valuable. Don't let size fool you! The book is organized in a very easy format to use. It breaks down the periods of American History and gives literature suggestions for each period. It starts with the early explorers of 900 up to World War II. There are suggestions for early grades, older grades and Christian titles. She also gives suggestions for additional biographies and the Dewey Decimal system number where you can find more information and books on that period of History. The back of the book even lists cookbooks and craft books that you can used to reinforce your History learning. If you are using a literature approach to History, this book will be very valuable to you. I love it! (Can you tell??)
