Our Third Grade Supplemental Reading for American Studies Set features 16 books that were carefully chosen to cover a variety of time periods and characters in American history. We believe that reading quality novels and biographies like these are the perfect way for young students to immerse themselves in the lives and culture of those who have made history in America.
Third Grade American History: Discussion Questions for Supplemental Reading contains teaching guidelines and and discussion questions for each of the books in our Third Grade Supplemental Reading for American Studies Set.
We focus on geography in grades 3-6 in our Classical Core Curriculum because it is beneficial for students to know where the historical events they study take place in the context of each other. But we realize that the grammar school years are a great time to introduce American history too. So we offer four sets of American biographies and novels as a supplement to our 3rd through 6th grade Classical Core packages.
Third Grade Set includes:
- Leif the Lucky
- Meet Christopher Columbus
- Pocahontas
- The Cabin Faced West
- Meet George Washington
- Sarah, Plain and Tall
- Henry Ford
- Meet Thomas Jefferson
- The Bears on Hemlock Mountain
- Benjamin Franklin
- Meet Abraham Lincoln
- Clara Barton
- Riding the Pony Express
- Helen Keller
- Laura Ingalls Wilder
- A Penny’s Worth of Character
These books were carefully chosen to cover a variety of time periods and characters, and they are on a reading level for independent reading by students. Our intention is that these books will be read and enjoyed by young students beginning their study of American history. Explore more from Memoria Press’ library of American & Modern studies here.
