Second Grade History Books and Read-Alouds



History Spine - Story of the World 2 Fall of Rome to Queen Elizabeth. I'll read this at the pace of one or two chapters per week.



The Books in their Order

I have these already, and I need to buy these or get from library if they have them, and these will probably be from the library as we can get them and aren't strictly historical and if we don't get to these then it is okay. These books will be read once or twice weekly. Some are long and some are short. The topics are roughly chronological.
