The Great American Story: 250 Words for 250 Years
The Great American Story: 250 Words for 250 Years
Product Description
This is a once-in-250-years moment. Give your children the words to own it.
America's 250th anniversary isn't just a history lesson — it's a living story that every child is part of. The Great American Story gives children aged 7–12 the vocabulary to truly understand it: to talk about it, write about it, and feel genuinely connected to it.
What's inside:
- 250 curated vocabulary words — handpicked for this historic milestone, spanning the ideas, values, and events that define America
- 10 thematic strands — Democracy, Freedom, Science, Belonging, Innovation, and more, so children build knowledge as well as vocabulary
- Stunning illustrations on every page — characters and illustration style created by Craig Kellman, the Hollywood character designer who brought Madagascar to life
- Engaging activities throughout — designed to spark discussion, build deep understanding, and keep kids genuinely interested
- Flexible daily and weekly lesson plans — classroom-ready, no prep required; works equally well at home
- Printable and digital formats — display it on your class whiteboard, in the corridors, sports hall, or in your house, print it for your students, or bring the words to life anywhere: print a set and take them on a word hunt around your neighbourhood, fold the page to show just the illustration and play charades at granny's, or pack a handful for the holiday and see how many words you can spot in the wild. Vocabulary learning that goes wherever your family goes.
For teachers: Everything you need is already built in. Lesson plans are structured for daily or weekly use, fit naturally around existing curriculum, and require zero preparation time. This is the resource you'll reach for all anniversary season — and beyond.
For parents: This isn't a workbook your child will ignore. The artwork alone will stop them in their tracks. And as they work through words like democracy, resilience, and innovation, they're building the kind of vocabulary that shapes how they think — and how they write — for years to come.
Grounded in the vocabulary research of Dr. Susan Neuman, former U.S. Undersecretary of Education. Characters and illustration style created by Craig Kellman (Madagascar). From the makers of The Narrative Journey — proven to deliver 50% vocabulary growth in one term.
