Homeschool Civics

Teach civics through a story your student can follow.

The Constitution Kids gives homeschool families a flexible way to introduce rules, rights, power, responsibility, and constitutional ideas without starting from a textbook.

Flexible ages

Best for curious middle-grade readers, teens, mixed-age families, and homeschool groups that like discussion.

Flexible pace

Use it as a short read-aloud, a one-week unit, a semester spine, or a supplement to American history.

Flexible depth

Start with the story, then go deeper with modules, Learn topics, quick checks, or teacher resources.

FAQ

Common homeschool questions

Do I need to be a civics expert?

No. The book gives you the story, and the site gives you discussion prompts and plain-language explanations.

Can this work with multiple ages?

Yes. Younger readers can follow the story and big questions; older students can dig into topics, courts, rights, and modern civic issues.

Is this a full curriculum?

It is a story-based learning spine with modules and resources. It can support a unit or supplement a larger history or civics plan.

Can a co-op or learning group use it?

Yes. Sponsors, homeschool groups, libraries, and learning communities can request book support or group options.
