Acknowledgments
Dear Fellow Learners,
I am very grateful to Nancy and Paula for creating this fun companion to TruthQuest History:
American History for Young Students I. Many of you have long had such an item on your TQH
wish list. Please enjoy fully!
But do also remember, please, that the Lord is the Master of our homeschools, not TruthQuest
History nor these fun materials. He knows what best fits your children: their unique learning
abilities, interests, and future missions! And He has called you to implement His will for your
children, so you can walk in that confidence. You thus have full authority to tweak or omit any
pages for your students’ benefit. Our assurance is not in “doing it all,” but in being His appointed
servants.
Yes, the Lord loves the conscientious heart which characterizes parents. However, we must be
certain this quality does not become a hindrance by having the children do overmuch just for the
sake of our “love of completion” and “frugality.”
So, please harness these great tools for your precious family. Enjoy the activities which promote
your children’s learning experience, and pass over those which better fit other families. How can
you know? By keeping the overall learning goal first and foremost! And that is…to give your
children an expanding love and deepening respect for our Creator God (the Great Initiator of
history), and keeping the love of history alive in their hearts so they are life-long learners. With
that “filter,” you can confidently decide which elements of these terrific resources are truly
beneficial for your unique family. Thankfully, they are all at your fingertips!
God bless your Quest for Truth!

You will find a notebooking page for most of the topics in the
program. Simply read about the topic of study, then have your
child “re-tell” what they have learned on the page.
Once the notebook is completed, your child will then be able to
share his/her new-found knowledge with dad, grandparents, or
even themselves in a creative and fun way. The notebooks also
become a great way to look back over the year to see how your
child has grown in language usage, penmanship, and creativity.
How do I use these notebooking pages with the
TruthQuest History program?
Notebooking is a new term for an old concept-journaling!
Notebooking is simply taking the old boring, black and white
composition notebook and replacing it with a 3 ring binder.
Then the fun begins!
What is Notebooking?
Why is Notebooking a great teaching tool?
Notebooking pages give a child a place to become creative.
Through notebooking, your child will be using and developing
many important skills. He/She will use narration skills, writing
skills, organizational skills and even artistic skills. It also allows
you to know how much your child has understood and gained
from the subject.
