DIGITAL TEACHER RESOURCES

We’ve curated supplemental resources and additional learning activities to accompany every chapter in our textbooks for Grades 5–8. Digital access is free with
your Teacher Manual, and your access will also give you tests, quizzes, and answer keys, all in one convenient location. 

These resources are specially curated to invite your students deeper into the story of history, and they include:​

  • Maps

  • Videos

  • Podcasts

  • Artifacts

  • Classic art

  • Music selections

  • Original documents

Teacher Manuals

Our teacher’s manuals are developed for teachers, by teachers around the time tested strategy of “less is more.” These resources do not overwhelm with unnecessary information—they are simply intended to supplement the carefully crafted textbooks, providing teachers with the space to uniquely work with his or her students’ needs.

Student Workbooks

Our workbooks are thoughtfully designed to help students internalize the subject matter and have a deeper experience of history’s many lessons without overwhelming them. The workbook is a soft-cover consumable book with smooth-perforation pages for easy removal, containing over 100 pages of exercises and activities.

I wish you could have seen the reactions by the teachers to your textbook samples. There was such joy in their faces when they saw the way the books were formatted and the accompanying materials. I knew I would be a villain if I exposed them to your books and was unable to secure them for their students.
