Welcome to Living History Threads, level 1|2!
Level 1|2 is intended for use in first- and second-grade classrooms. Most schools combine these grades for history class and teach Levels 1|2 and 2|1 in alternating years, but Threads also works well in single-grade classrooms. Level 1|2 is designed for 30-35 minute class periods, three days per week for 16 weeks. The following materials are needed:
-
-
Teacher’s Guide x 1
-
Classroom map set x 1
-
Timeline (shared with Level 2|1) x 1
-
Flashcard set x 1
-
Twenty-seven read-aloud books (1 copy of each title)
-
Student booklet (1 per student)
-
Student desk maps (two maps – one set per student)
-
No tests are included in Level 1|2, as we believe the focus of history class in lower elementary should be simply to introduce students to the joy of studying history. Assessment is built in through daily oral review.

Story of the World: Volume 1 is used in both Level 1|2 and Level 2|1. If these levels are taught in alternating years, only one copy will be needed to share between the two levels.
