Description
Travel through time and celebrate 250 years of American history with this reading challenge!
Spanning from 1776-2026, this challenge contains one prompt for every year of America’s history at the time America celebrated 250 years as a country.
Inside this reading challenge, you’ll find themes and ideas that will take you through American history – as it changes, shapes and shifts. Alongside each challenge category, you’ll find just one suggestion. That’s intentional by design. There are already 250 categories and while you are certainly free to pick your own suggestions, I wanted to give you somewhere to head if you weren‘t sure. Though, of course, even 250 books will not encompass all of American history. Each and every book I’ve personally read and vetted myself.
The prompts in this challenge feature events, famous people, inventions, pop culture and sports that have helped shape America for the last 250 years.
Recommendations in this list vary in genres, styles and ages – including both fiction and non-fiction and board books, easy readers, picture books and chapter books.
This is not mean to be a comprehensive list of every facet of US history, but as you do this challenge and especially if you do it in order, you and your children will start to see how the US grows and changes over time, how different events and people influenced and shaped the future and the ways that those events may continue to shape it over time. It compliments any American history curriculum you may already be using.
