These titles are produced by a mother-daughter team comprising a successful home educator (the mom) and a certified public school teacher (the daughter who came out of homeschool K-8, was a high school Valedictorian, and graduated with honors from George Fox University). Teaching is a joy, but the trick is to get it across in a way that is orderly and interesting to a young mind. We also know from experience that price matters - teachers are paid modestly, if at all, and out-of-pocket spending for resources can add up fast. That's why we have made all our titles available at huge savings in digital ebook format. If you would like to learn more about our family and public projects please visit our website, LetsPlayHistory.org.
