History Around You

History Around You is a graded four-book course for children with a reading age of 8 upwards. The pupil is encouraged to discover the signposts to history that are all around by looking for clues like a detective. Illustrations which are an integral part of the text show the kinds of evidence that can be found in the home and family (Book 1), in the street, school and neighbourhood (Book 2), in sites and remains (Book 3), and in transport and communications (Book 4). This concentric evidence-based approach brings the past to life, develops important skills and concepts and provides a practical structured course in history.
